Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Spatrian: the player, coaches, personal trainers and homeschool.

Getting Started

Spatrian is one soccer platform for players aged 13 to 18 and the people who develop them, in four parts that each work on their own and connect when you want them to. The player trains with an Audio Coach that runs the session out loud and hears the ball, plays a weekly match that scores itself, and builds one record of what they did. Their coach can connect to it by code and set targets the phone counts. Their personal trainer sends the family a private report after every session. And for a homeschool family it is also a 36-week standards-aligned PE curriculum, with the paperwork — hours, grades, portfolio, transcript — written as a by-product of doing the work rather than as a second chore.

It is built for a family with no coaching background. You are never asked to invent a session, and you are never asked to remember to write anything down afterwards.

No. Each part stands on its own. Use one, or connect them.
  • A player trains and keeps their own record with no coach or trainer.
  • A coach runs the whole squad from their own account, whether or not a family ever signs up.
  • A personal trainer keeps their clients, scores each session and sends the family a report, and the family needs no account to read it.
  • A homeschool family keeps the PE record with no coach or trainer at all.
Connecting is always your choice, by a code the family types. What it adds: a coach’s targets and a trainer’s homework come back counted by the family’s phone, and they can read the record the family lets them see.
  • Teens at school — Players aged 13 to 18 who train on their own between school sessions. Their school keeps the PE record, so the app shows their training instead.
  • Club players — A teen in a club gets the week built round the team: the schedule, targets the phone counts and a tryout countdown.
  • Coaches — A club or school coach hands out a code; a parent who types it in lets the coach see that player's verified profile and targets, and nothing else.
  • Personal trainers — A trainer who coaches soccer one to one keeps their clients, sessions and progress in one account, and sends each family a private report after every session. Their clients are theirs alone.
  • Homeschool families — The fourth part: a 36-week PE curriculum and the record your state asks for. No coaching background needed.
  • Homeschool co-ops — Groups of families who meet weekly for PE, sharing a roster, attendance and group goals while each family keeps its own records.
  • Umbrella schools — Schools overseeing homeschool families that need documented PE programs.
  • Part-time homeschoolers — Even club soccer players can use Spatrian for academic PE documentation.
Yes, in Canada outside Quebec. Spatrian is offered in the United States and its territories and in Canada outside Quebec. We can’t accommodate families in Quebec, the EU, the EEA, the UK or Switzerland at this time, and if you live there we don’t keep the details you send us. Other countries will open one at a time; until yours does, you can join the waiting list and we’ll write when it opens.
Three age bands, covering ages 13 to 18:
BandAgesGradesFocus
U1413–147th–8thTactical awareness, decision-making and performance analysis
U1615–169th–10thPosition-specific play, conditioning and self-assessment
U1817–1811th–12thIndependent training design, leadership and a capstone project

Lessons for the younger bands — U6, U8, U10 and U12 — are in development and not yet available. There is material for them, but it has not been finished to the standard the older three have, so it is not offered and not priced. We name them rather than give a date.

A younger child can still be kept on the record: add them, log what they did, and it counts toward their hours and portfolio. They get no lessons, no sign-in of their own, no coach chat and no video.

Absolutely not. Every lesson includes a Parent Teaching Guide with:
  • Exact setup instructions with diagrams
  • Word-for-word coaching phrases to say
  • Visual cues showing correct technique
  • Common mistakes and specific fixes
  • Difficulty adjustments for different ability levels
  • Sibling variations for mixed-age groups
If you can read instructions and kick a ball, you can teach with Spatrian.
Minimal equipment:
  • Essential: 1 soccer ball per child (size 3/4/5 by age), 6–10 cones or markers, open space of at least 10m × 10m
  • Optional: Pop-up goals or wall, training bibs, stopwatch
  • Advanced (U14+): Larger field space, multiple players for tactical work
Every lesson lists specific requirements and alternatives. You'll never be stuck because you don't have professional equipment.

Not sure your space is big enough? Enter your measurements on the space & equipment page and it counts how many drills fit.

Lessons run 40–60 minutes depending on the session type. Each one has warm-up, main activities, game application and cool-down segments, and the Audio Coach can read the whole thing aloud so you can watch your child instead of a screen.

The weekly Season match is a separate forty minutes, if you choose to play one.

Yes. Your child gets their own sign-in — their lessons, their badges, their own conversation with Coach Spatrian — without your account being open on the device. You set it up in two steps from More → Let Them Sign In: give them a four-to-six digit PIN, then press "Set up a device for the kids" and open the link it gives you once on the tablet, phone or laptop they will use.

From then on they go to /app/kids on that device, tap their name and type their PIN. Worth bookmarking it on the family tablet.

Both halves are needed, which is the point: a PIN does nothing on a device you have not paired, and a paired device shows nothing until a child has a PIN. There is no way in from a device you have not personally set up, so four digits is a "which child is this" separator rather than a password holding the internet back.

Curriculum & Lessons

In the app’s Video Library: one player, shelves arranged by your child’s week so this week’s lesson clips come first, and a link for every clip, so a lesson’s reference video can be bookmarked or sent to the child who needs it. Today most reference clips are linked from YouTube and play through YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player; Spatrian’s own demonstrations and licensed partner clips join the shelves as they are made. A shelf shows only clips that exist — a card is never a placeholder.
A 36-week program, layered:
  1. Age bands (3) — U14, U16 and U18
  2. Units (9–24 per band) — thematic blocks such as "Technical Excellence", "Pressing Systems", "Game Management" or "Leadership & Captaincy"
  3. Lessons (3–5 per unit) — progressive sessions: introduction → development → application → assessment
  4. Activities (4–5 per lesson) — individual drills and games with step-by-step instructions
Total: 57 units, 240 lessons and 963 activity descriptions across the three bands. Beside them sit two electives open to every player in every band, fifteen units each: PE-250 Sports Officiating, a referee course, and SS-150 History of Soccer. Both are on the full syllabus.

These are counted from the curriculum itself rather than typed into a page — the homepage reads the same figures from a public endpoint, so the site cannot advertise a lesson count the product does not have.

Yes — every unit maps to:
  • New York State PE Learning Standards — Motor skills, personal fitness, responsible behavior, safety principles
  • FIFA Grassroots Pillars — Fun, Technical, Tactical, Physical
Each unit lists the standards it addresses, and the transcript maps logged activity to SHAPE America’s national standards. That is the evidence an evaluator or portfolio reviewer usually asks to see; whether it meets your state’s rules is your state’s decision.
Within a unit: Lessons build on each other (1→2→3→4), so sequential is best.

Between units: Flexible. Choose units based on your child's interests or time of year.
Yes, in three places, because three different things need showing:
  • Skill demos — a named technique such as a Cruyff turn, in the lesson's Resources tab.
  • Lesson videos — attached to a specific lesson, and shown on the lesson page while you run it.
  • Drill videos — attached to a training drill, on the parent training page.
Any of them may be a video Spatrian filmed itself or a link to a good one on YouTube. Where we made the file, it plays in the app without leaving for a video site, and without whatever that site decides to recommend next.
Games — seven modes, eight questions a session, for ages 13–18. Soccer IQ Quiz Time draws on the curriculum unit your child is in; Know the Laws cites the Law and the clause that settles each answer; You Make the Call describes a refereeing incident aloud and asks for your decision; Small-Sided Games covers the youth-game rules a young referee works under; Why Does This Work? is built from the coaching points of your own drills; and How the Game Got Here covers the history.

Playing earns XP and moves nothing else. A game contributes no minutes, touches no quiz average, reaches no compliance record and does not extend the practice streak — an evening on the sofa is not an hour of physical education, and we will not record it as one.

The Season

One match a week, played in your own backyard. Five challenges, about forty minutes, scored against a target for your child's age band, and a result that goes on a league table that keeps itself. Settling the match takes another five minutes, and then next week's match is revealed.

It is the part a curriculum cannot give you: a reason to come back on a particular day. There is a full walk-through on the Season page.

The app does, from your child's own record — a combine result that came in below the typical range, a corrective exercise you still have open, whatever went worst last week, plus whatever is next in the rotation. Every challenge tells you why it is in this week's match, so you can judge whether it chose well.

A match spans technical, physical and decision work rather than five variations of the same thing, and the rotation reaches all sixteen challenges over a term. If growth tracking says your child is in a growth spurt, the most demanding physical challenge comes out that week.

Every challenge has a target for your child's age band. Hitting it exactly is worth 100 points; beating it scores more. The match score is the average across the challenges you actually played.

Those targets are ours. They are set so a child has something to beat — they are not percentiles and not published norms, and no page in the product presents them as either. If you want your child measured against published reference data, that is the Home Combine's job, and it cites its sources.

Yes. Every match you settle writes its minutes to your attendance record as documented instruction — the same record your lessons write to, feeding the same hours total, the same portfolio and the same transcript. There is no second place to log it and nothing to re-enter.

Completed matches print in your portfolio as a Season Record: each week's date, target, score, result, minutes and your own note, plus your child's best mark on every challenge. A season record carries no grade and no credits — it is evidence of instruction, not an academic assessment. The transcript is still the document that does that job.

A challenge you skip is left out of the average rather than counted as zero, and nothing is ever filled in from a previous week to make a match look complete. An unfinished match is kept with whatever you played rather than deleted; come back the same day and it offers to pick up where you stopped.
The family head-to-head compares each child against their own target, which differs by age band and by how far up the ladder they have climbed. The winner is whoever beat theirs by most, so a thirteen-year-old having a good week can beat an older sibling having an ordinary one — and both of them can see why.

The opponent in an ordinary match is a fixed rung on a ladder, never another family's child. Spatrian runs no leaderboard unless a parent turns the weekly one on, and there a child appears under a made-up name, never their own.

Coach Spatrian & the Audio Coach

The Audio Coach is Coach Spatrian out loud — the same coach the chat button opens, running the drill on the clock instead of answering questions.

You can hear it before you sign up — there is a free 60-second sample on the Audio Coach page, in both registers.

Kid mode is spoken to your child, loud enough to carry across a backyard. Caddie mode is spoken quietly to you through one earbud, so you can pass on the coaching in your own words. A few drills also have a two-voice duo track.
No. It is one tool in the box, there to run a session out loud and count the reps on the drills where the phone can hear the ball. Use what you need.

A player or a parent can mark a session done and count it by hand. A coach plans the session, runs it their own way and counts the reps drill by drill. A personal trainer builds each session from their own drills, scores it as it happens and sends the family the report. Every one of those lands in the same record as a session the Audio Coach ran.
Yes, per child, in Child Settings. You can pick the voice from a catalog, set the speaking rate, and set the cue density to full, standard or light if your child finds a lot of talking distracting.

Every spoken line is also printed on screen, so a deaf or hard-of-hearing student follows exactly the same session.
Yes. Download a drill's audio before you leave the house and it plays in a park with no bars. If a voice recording has not been made for a particular line yet, the player falls back to your device's own voice and tells you it is doing so, rather than going silent.
No — and that is deliberate. Coach Spatrian can propose a session it thinks is worth recording, but it stops there. Nothing reaches your compliance log or your child's transcript until you tap the button to confirm it.

A number a model asserted should not walk by itself into a document you may hand to your state. Finishing a drill on the Audio Coach does log its minutes — but that is you finishing a real session, not an AI's estimate.
Once you are signed in, it reads your child's record from your account: their age band, your home state's PE requirement, and the hours logged so far. It does not ask you to retype any of that, and it cannot be talked into using different figures.

It also only recommends drills that exist in your curriculum, so “try this one next” is always something you can press play on. If your student chats with it directly, you can read the whole conversation from Coach Conversations in the parent menu. From 16 the chat is the player’s own: you see how many messages and when, not the words, unless you switch that off in Child Settings.

Scan & React

Decision training for a child with nobody to play against. Your child dribbles in a small square and the app calls a direction or a numbered cone, at a moment they cannot predict. They have to find it and do it before the next call lands; you watch and tap whether they got there.

There are four kinds of round — straight, opposite (where the call is the thing to resist), double, and delayed (do the previous call). The order and timing are drawn fresh each level, so nobody can learn the pattern. Full detail on the Scan & React page.

Twelve levels. Each calls faster than the last and adds more things to choose between — five seconds apart and two options at level 1, just over two seconds and ten options at level 12. Get three quarters of a level right and it moves up; miss two levels in a row and it stops there, the same shape as the shuttle run in the Home Combine.

The score is the highest level cleared, never the highest attempted.

No, and the app says so. What it records is the gap between the call and your tap, so your own reaction is inside every reading. That is genuinely useful for watching one month against the next, and it is never printed beside the figures sports science publishes for athletes, because it is not the same measurement.
Yes. An unexpected shout is exactly what a sensory accommodation exists to prevent, so when a child's plan says so the calls arrive on a steady announced beat instead. They know one is coming and still have to work out what it is: the thinking survives, only the ambush goes.

It also loses nothing when the running is removed — your child can point at the cone or call it out instead of dribbling to it, and every level stays exactly as long and as hard.

Fitness & the Home Combine

A standardised eight-test fitness battery you run at home, about forty minutes including a five-minute warm-up, guided one test at a time with spoken cues, a built-in stopwatch and one number to type. Most families run it about four times a year.

The tests are sit-and-reach, countermovement jump, standing broad jump, a 20 m sprint, the agility T-test, a cone weave with the ball, a plank hold and the 20 m shuttle run. Results carry into the portfolio PDF with their citations attached, and can feed an optional fitness component in the grade.

No. The app runs the protocol; a parent with a tape measure and a phone timer takes the measurement and types it in. That was a decision, not a shortcut — measuring from a clip would mean uploading a video per test, needing a signal in a field, and would be reliable for only two of the eight tests anyway.

A clip can be attached to a result as portfolio evidence. It is never the measurement.

Four of the eight tests are scored against peer-reviewed normative studies of youth fitness, reproduced as published. The other four have no widely published youth reference we could reproduce faithfully, so they are scored against Spatrian's own working scale and labeled provisional everywhere they appear — on the public checker, in the app, and with an asterisk in the portfolio PDF.

We say every band cites its source rather than that results are scored against national standards, because the second would be true of only half of them. A result is a position on a published population curve, never a placement against other Spatrian families.

It does not compute body composition and does not collect height or weight for that purpose. Feedback about body composition does measurable harm in exactly this age group, so the product does not do it.

Growth tracking is a separate, parent-only view. It takes optional measurements to estimate where a child is in their growth spurt, and what it changes is the training: weekly load caps scale down around peak growth, and the Season drops its most demanding physical challenge that week. The load moves, instead of a note telling you to watch out.

Yes — the free fitness-test checker scores one measurement against the same reference tables the app uses, with the study printed underneath it. It has no account, no identity and stores nothing on our side; anything you save is kept in your own browser so you can see the change at the next re-test.

Compliance & Documentation

Where a state asks for physical education, it names the subject rather than a sport, so soccer training that is planned, taught and written down is PE instruction like any other. What makes it count is the record: the date, how long it ran, what was taught and who taught it. Spatrian’s curriculum wraps the soccer in the rest of a PE year — warm-ups, fitness testing, safety and rubric-scored skills — and keeps that record as you go. Your state, district or evaluator makes the final call; your state’s homeschool PE requirements page says what it asks for.
Planned physical activity with some instruction in it: skill work, fitness, games and sport, taught at home or delivered by someone else. Most families count more than they teach — a swim team, a dojo, a club season — and those hours belong on the record too, marked with who delivered them. A few states say which outside hours they credit; the PE requirements checker shows what has been researched for yours. To see what a year of it looks like on paper, open the free printable PE log sheet and sample portfolio.
List it as a course — “Physical Education”, or a named course such as “Physical Education: Soccer” — with the year, the documented hours and the credit those hours earn. A full credit is usually a Carnegie unit, and your state may set its own hours-per-credit figure; the homeschool PE credit calculator uses it where one is on file. Spatrian’s transcript lists the course, hours and credit for you and carries a fingerprint anyone can check on the verification page. For a college-bound athlete, see homeschool PE and NCAA eligibility: PE counts as an elective there, not a core course.
Yes, and for most families that is the larger half of the year. Karate on Tuesday, swim team on Thursday, three hours up a hill on Saturday — the activity ledger records what happened, when, how long it ran and who ran it, and those hours reach your attendance report, your portfolio and the transcript.

Who delivered the session is the part that matters, and it is not a label: it decides which record the hours land in. A session you taught — a hiking unit you planned and led — is instruction, and counts as such. A session a club or a dojo delivered counts once you confirm it, and every document says who delivered it. Where your state has been researched as not crediting outside instruction, those hours stay on the record but out of the total, with a line saying why. Your state or evaluator decides whether the record is enough.

Only a parent can confirm a session into the hours record. An all-day meet is recorded at its real length rather than clipped to a single drill's ceiling.

That is decided by your state, district or evaluator, not by us. Spatrian is standards-aligned and keeps the hours, portfolio and transcript your state asks for; the filing is yours to make. Use the free homeschool PE requirements checker to see your state's PE requirements and which of them Spatrian keeps a record of.
  • Automatic hour logging with Carnegie unit credit calculations
  • Rubric-scored assessments on a 4-point scale
  • Formal PE transcripts with course codes and GPA
  • Portfolio exports with video evidence links
  • A Season Record — every match's date, target, score, result and minutes, with your own note beside it
  • A Home Combine fitness section, with the reference study cited under each band
  • AI-drafted progress narratives, which you edit and confirm before anything is saved
  • State-specific compliance checklists, deadlines and required-document lists
  • Attendance records and session logs
All 50 states, DC and four US territories — 55 jurisdictions. Every one has its regulatory summary, its checklist of what a family actually has to do, and its hours-per-credit figure. For 34 of them we have also researched the reporting schedule and the required-document list, and where the state publishes a date we hold it to the day; the rest carry the summary without a schedule, and the page says which of the two you are reading rather than implying completeness.

Where each figure comes from. 12 states name the statute they rest on. Where a person has checked a figure against that statute we say so on the figure itself, and you can read the passage it came from. Where nobody has checked it yet, the figure is marked baseline — unchecked: it comes from our reviewed baseline table rather than from someone reading the law that day. Where we hold no source at all, it says so. We would rather show you a gap than a number you cannot place.

We do not fill an unresearched state with a plausible default. If we have not researched your state's hour requirement, the app says “not researched” and draws no progress bar against an invented target.

All of it comes from one registry the public pages and the app both read, so the credit figure you see before you subscribe is the one the product uses afterwards. Start with the State Compliance Checker or the homeschool PE requirements checklist. This is a homeschool PE reference, not legal advice.

Yes. An issued transcript or season record carries a fingerprint registered on our public verification page. Anyone holding your printed copy — an umbrella school, a district evaluator — can type it in and confirm that Spatrian produced exactly that document, without an account and without seeing anything else about your family.

Video Analysis

Film ten to sixty seconds of one skill and the analysis writes back three short lists: what went well, what to work on, and three drills to practice next, each one a drill from the curriculum. It gives no score or rating, and nothing reaches your child's record unless you add it, one line at a time. It is for children 13 and up. AI video analysis is not available in the beta yet: only the families we invite to test it can use it. See a sample report.

Until video analysis opens to every family, it is open only to the families we invite to test it. The allowances apply once it opens.

We accept MP4, MOV, and AVI files. For best results, record in landscape mode (horizontal) with your phone mounted or held steady. A basic phone camera is all you need — no special equipment required.
Free monthly minutes do not roll over — they reset each month. Purchased token packs never expire and carry forward until used.

Assessment & Progress

Each activity uses a 4-point rubric scale:
  • 1 — Beginning: Still learning the basics
  • 2 — Developing: Shows understanding with inconsistency
  • 3 — Proficient: Demonstrates the skill reliably
  • 4 — Exemplary: Performs with confidence and creativity
Parents observe and rate during lessons using clear criteria provided for each activity. No coaching expertise required — just follow the rubric descriptions.
Yes. Your dashboard shows:
  • Total PE hours logged toward the annual goal, in Carnegie units for your state
  • Activity completion grid (GitHub-style heatmap)
  • Current streak and session insights
  • Unit-by-unit progress bars
  • Milestone achievements (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
  • Recent completions and grade history
  • The Season table — played, won, drawn, lost, points and recent form
  • Combine results trended against your child's own earlier attempts, and the Scan & React level reached

Every comparison in the product is your child against their own earlier record.

Yes — Spatrian generates formal PE transcripts with course codes, GPA calculations and Carnegie unit credits, formatted to be read by umbrella schools, colleges and state education departments. Each issued transcript carries a fingerprint the recipient can check on our verification page.
No. Spatrian is a curriculum and documentation platform, not an accredited school. It does not award credits or diplomas — you do, as the home educator. The transcript it writes is a parent-issued homeschool record: it says so on the document, and your evaluator, umbrella school, district or the college decides whether it is enough. Spatrian keeps the record; it does not certify it.
Students earn digital badges for completing lessons, mastering skills, maintaining streaks, and hitting milestones. These make learning fun and visible — students can see their growing collection of achievements and parents can share them with co-ops or portfolios.

Technical & Troubleshooting

Spatrian works in any modern web browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge — on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. No app download required. For the best outdoor teaching experience, we recommend using a tablet or phone you can carry to the field.
The parts you do outdoors are built for a field with no bars. Download a drill's Audio Coach track before you leave and it plays with no signal; Scan & React writes every line it can say in advance and downloads them; a Season match needs nothing downloaded and nothing printed.

Browsing the curriculum, saving a rubric score and syncing your records still need a connection — so the usual pattern is to open the session at the table, run it in the yard, and let it save when you come back in.

Yes. Explorer keeps the record for up to 4 children, Family covers up to 4 with the curriculum, and Family+ covers up to 10. Each child has their own progress tracking, age-appropriate curriculum, badges, and assessment history — all managed under one parent account. A plan covers one family; co-ops are a separate plan for groups of families.
Your parent dashboard shows all enrolled children. Simply select the child you want to view from the player selector at the top of the curriculum page. Each child's progress, assessments, and badges are tracked independently.
On the sign-in page, click "Forgot password?" and enter your email address. You'll receive a reset link within a few minutes. If you don't see it, check your spam folder or contact support.
Open More → Let Them Sign In. That page reads your family's actual state and names the step you are stuck on, rather than making you guess which of these it is:
  1. The device is not paired. If /app/kids says "Ask a parent to set this up," that device has never been paired, or the pairing was revoked or cleared along with the browser's site data. Make a fresh link and open it there.
  2. They have no PIN. A child listed as "no PIN yet" cannot be tapped.
  3. Everything is set up but nobody has ever signed in. Usually the address is what is missing — on the paired device, go to /app/kids.
  4. You just changed the PIN. That signs the child out everywhere immediately, on purpose — a parent resetting a PIN because a sibling learned it expects that sibling logged out. They sign in again with the new one.
  5. Too many wrong tries. Repeated wrong PINs lock that child on that device for a while. Wait it out, or set a new PIN.
  6. The pairing link is spent. They work once and are short-lived.

A link that was forwarded or intercepted is not a way into your account. It pairs a device and nothing more — the child still has to know their PIN.

Free Tools

Six tools, all free and none of them asking you to sign up:
No — nothing reaches a server. The fitness checker is scored by a request that carries no identity and writes no record. Where a tool remembers something between visits — your fitness history, your ticked checklist, the hours already logged in the credit calculator — it is kept in your own browser and goes no further. Clearing your browser data clears it.

Account & Privacy

An emblem your child picks on their own settings page, from one of two sets: animals from the Bible, each shown with a line of Scripture (KJV) and its reference, or animals from the wild. Neither is the default; the family chooses, and a child may leave it as their initial. It appears on the screens that are theirs and nowhere else: never on the portfolio or the transcript, never on a printed sheet or certificate, never on a co-op roster, and never on a picture that leaves the app.
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't use advertising cookies or sell data. Your family's record is kept for as long as your account exists, including after a paid plan is canceled, so the hours you logged are still there next year. You can download it or delete it yourself at any time. To close the account entirely, use Delete my account under Your sign-in, in the app or on the website; it deletes every child’s record and the household with it, and cancels a paid plan at the same moment.
Spatrian is designed as a parent-guided program. U14 students can follow lesson guides fairly independently, while U16–U18 students can work almost entirely on their own. Parent observation is still recommended for accurate rubric assessments and compliance documentation.

They can also sign in as themselves rather than using your account — see Can my child log in on their own? under Getting Started.

Yes, with an honest split. Over twenty of the drills are written for one child alone in a backyard with a ball and a wall or a few cones, and a teenager can run those without you; the Audio Coach’s Kid mode talks them through from a phone on a step. The tactics lessons are taught on a tactics board and from match clips, which a teenager can work through at a table. Where a lesson’s activity is written for a partner or a bigger group, its Parent Teaching Guide gives a version for one child and one adult. What needs you is a small part of the week: setting the lesson up, watching enough of it to score the rubric, and confirming the hours, because you are the teacher of record.

The space check lists the solo drills that fit your yard.

Less than you, and you decide how much less. The controls sit in Child Settings, under "What my child can do" and "What my child can see".
  • Their own record is always theirs — lessons, progress, badges, season.
  • Your transcript and grade are off by default. Turn it on only if you want them to see the marks you have given them.
  • Logging hours can wait for you. A lesson your child finishes either lands on their attendance record straight away or sits until you confirm it — your choice.
  • They never reach your paperwork. Compliance reports, the portfolio, the transcript builder, billing and the other children's records are refused outright, not merely hidden.
  • They cannot change the family. Adding or removing a child, setting your state, and anything that spends money are account-holder actions.

Signing in on a paired device also lists only your own children's first names — no ages, no birthdays, nothing that describes your family.
