The coach's walkthrough

01

StatPad: live stat entry that keeps score for you

Rally Flow mirrors how a rally actually unfolds, so the next tap is always the obvious one. The command bar tracks the phase of play and whose serve it is. Your six players sit in their real court positions, and the court itself is where you tap.

• Each rally moves serve, then in-play, then terminal. Record digs and assists while the ball is live, end the rally with the kill, ace, block, or error
• Terminal stats score the rally automatically, and side-outs rotate the court for you
• Ace or serve error? No player tap needed, because only the server can do those
• Color does the thinking: lime is your ball, red is theirs, ice blue means the rally is live
• A confirmation ribbon flashes on every committed stat, and undo reverses the whole rally, score and all

Substitutions are tracked against your ruleset (USAV 12, NFHS 18, or FIVB 6), libero rules are enforced automatically, and planned subs from your lineups prompt at exactly the rotation you chose.

The StatPad home screen: matches, tournament cards, practice mode, Force Sync

02

Built for real gyms and long weekends

Tournament gyms rarely have usable Wi-Fi, so VolleyIQ never assumes a connection. Install it as an app on your iPad and every stat saves to the device first, then syncs itself when the internet comes back.

• Full offline stat entry, including creating a match at the gym with no signal
• Multi-day tournaments with expandable day cards and TBD opponents you name later
• An in-progress match follows you across devices, iPad to phone mid-set if needed
• Practice mode keeps scrimmage reps out of your season analytics

If stats ever look stuck after a dead-zone weekend, one tap of Force Sync pushes everything up without creating duplicates.

03

Analytics you don't have to build

Every tap in StatPad lands here already computed. No spreadsheet, no Sunday-night data entry. Leaderboards rank every player across every category, and season trends use a 7-game moving average so real improvement stands out from one hot night.

• Kills per set, hitting %, serve receive, and ace rate trended across the season
• Per-match breakdowns with set-by-set detail for every completed game
• Season selector to compare this year against past seasons
• Your view is saved in the URL, so you can bookmark the leaderboard or send it to an assistant

Rotation analytics: spot the leak before your opponent does

04

Rotation and personnel evidence

The question every bench argues about is who should be on the floor. VolleyIQ records the rotation and the actual six players for every rally, so it can answer with numbers instead of memory.

• Side-out rate, break-point rate, and scoring for each of your six rotations
• Per-player stats by court position inside every rotation
• Compare the same rotation with different personnel: before-and-after numbers for any lineup change you tried
• Small samples get flagged, so two rallies never masquerade as a trend

Find the rotation that bleeds points, fix it in practice, and then check whether the fix actually moved the numbers the next weekend.

05

AI coaching that read every rally

After a match, generate an AI overview: a plain-language read of the box score, rotations, and momentum that ends in specific next steps. Tournaments get the bigger version. The AI Event Overview reads the whole weekend and judges whether your changes worked.

• What carried and what to fix, with the evidence behind each claim
• Moved a starter after day two? It checks whether the struggling rotation recovered, with before-and-after numbers
• Opponent-by-opponent notes for the rematch, and practice priorities from recurring patterns
• Lineup experiments worth testing next, with position and libero guardrails
• Honest about small samples: it says so instead of pretending eight rallies prove a trend

Overviews save with the match or event and reopen instantly. You can also hand-pick up to 12 matches (a road trip, one rival all season) and run the same breakdown on that selection.

Saved lineups: set them up once, load them all season

06

Lineups with substitution plans

Build your lineups once. StatPad offers them at every set start, and your planned subs pop up at the rotation you chose. No more sticky notes on the clipboard.

• Multiple saved lineups per team with a default that pre-loads in StatPad
• Attach subs to a rotation, including after-serve timing
• Libero placement validated before an illegal lineup ever reaches the court
• Lineups link straight to rotation performance, so every change closes the loop with evidence

07

Your team, one workspace

Every team gets a workspace with Overview, Roster, Lineups, Schedule, and Analytics that never loses context. Rosters handle the messy reality of club volleyball: some kids have accounts, some don't yet.

• Stat players by name before they ever sign up, then link their account later and the history follows
• Roster invites players approve themselves, so nobody’s stats move without consent
• Assistant coaches get their own logins with permissions you control, down to stat entry vs. roster vs. analytics
• Archive a team at season’s end and every stat stays browsable in Past Seasons

08

A live link for the stands

Share one URL with families. While you stat the match, they watch the score move and see who's on the court, with a play-by-play feed underneath. It updates every few seconds.

• Big score, set history, server highlighted on a court diagram
• Kill/ace/dig/block feed with player names
• Between games it shows your upcoming schedule, so the link is worth bookmarking all season
• No accounts needed for viewers, and grandparents three states away get the same seat

09

Every stat builds a recruiting profile

This is the part your players' families will care about: each kill you tap flows to a coach-verified public profile that college coaches can actually trust. You do nothing extra.

• Verified badge on stats a coach entered, kept separate from self-reported
• Season-by-season career progression across every team the player has been on
• Players run their own college pipeline: contact logs and next steps, with NCAA deadlines built in
• One-tap intro emails to college coaches, drafted from their real stat line
• Players also get a personal AI development plan with priorities and safe at-home drills, built from the stats you entered
