# Grinta (2026)
A management platform for football coaches and clubs, designed with Elio Margiotta
Grinta is a web platform for Swiss football coaches and clubs. I helped my friend Elio Margiotta design it during its first months, on both the architecture and the code, frontend and backend alike.
The app brings together everything a team's staff has to manage day to day: season planning (year, month, week and day views), an exercise library, session preparation, team and player management, call-ups and progress tracking. A parents' area shows call-ups and schedules. The idea: give clubs an identity and a method that outlast changes of coach.
On the technical side: Next.js (App Router), Supabase with Row Level Security to isolate each coach's data, next-intl for French and English, and FullCalendar for the planner. The PostgreSQL schema is designed to grow by addition, so a paid plan with exercise sharing can be added without touching the rest of the application. It's also the project that taught me React and Next.js.
Grinta is free for independent coaches and priced on request for clubs. It is currently being tested by several Swiss clubs and by the Neuchâtel Football Association. Due to lack of time, I'm unfortunately no longer contributing to it.
