Coaching that outlives the coach.
Every club loses coaches. Most lose the coaching with them — the session plans, the drills, the reason a player moved up. Althea keeps all of it, so your school gets better every season instead of starting over.
Illustration of the product: one afternoon at the club on five courts from 15:00 to 20:00, each session marked with its level, and the Grønn group opened to its attendance list with three players present and one absent.
Most of your club is in someone's head
The season plan. Who is ready to move up. What finally worked with the Tuesday group. It holds together until that person leaves — and then the club learns it all a second time.
The season, in one place
Every court, every group, every level — with attendance taken on the schedule itself, not in a notebook that goes home in a coach's bag.
The session, with its reasoning
What was planned, who ran it, and what they wrote afterwards, held together. A coach who arrives in March can read back to September.
The programme, owned by the club
Tennis, physical and mental libraries the club builds once and every coach assigns from — instead of one coach's private repertoire walking out the door.
The player, on the record
Level, diaries, self-evaluation, stats. Enough to answer a parent properly, and enough for a player to see their own years.
A club that writes nothing down starts over every September.
Where every player actually stands
Red, orange, green, yellow — the ball progression every Norwegian club already runs. In Althea it stops being a note in a binder and becomes a field a coach, a player and a parent all read the same way.

Althea does not grade anyone. What lifts a player from Red 1 to Red 2 stays the club's call — the product records where a player stands, when that changed, and which coach said so.
The same answer, whoever asks
Manager, coach, player and parent read one underlying record, each at the depth their role needs. No second spreadsheet, and no “let me check with the coach”.
Manager
The club's records, its imports, its whole week across every court — and a player who can leave without erasing their history.
Coach
Attendance on one thumb, the plan attached to the session, and the evaluation written while the session is still warm.
Player
Their calendar, their exercises, their diary. A player works inside the structure rather than being described by it.
Parent
Their child's schedule, attendance and progress — without ringing the coach to ask.
Built for the court, not the desk
The main user is a coach outdoors, mid-session, holding a phone in one hand. Every default is set for that person rather than for an administrator at a laptop.
Attendance defaults to present
A full group is confirmed in one pass and the coach taps only the exceptions. Targets are 44px because the alternative is a coach squinting into the sun.
The plan belongs to the session
Court plans are drawn in real metres across all five courts and stay attached to the session — so next season's coach inherits them instead of redrawing them.
The journal, digitised
The printed match and practice journals your club already fills in by hand, turned into evaluations that sit against the session and the player.

Start from the spreadsheet you already have
Clubs arrive with a Matchi export. The import reads it and creates both sides of a family — the child who trains, and the parent who holds the login.
Norwegian terminology follows NTPF. The rules content is backed by the ITF rulebook.
