Introducing RYPT Lite: The essential tools every team needs

Ruairí O'Donnellan

RYPT are delighted to introduce ‘RYPT Lite’ to the sporting community; a version of RYPT giving all coaches access to the key tools they need to start coaching with purpose.

Using the RYPT Lite tier, coaches and athletes can access the following sections of RYPT:

Together, these tools give coaches a clear view of their squad. They can plan the season, know who is turning up, understand how each athlete is responding to training, and track performance as it develops, all with the admin handled.

At a glance
  • RYPT Lite is a new version of RYPT, giving coaches access to the core tools of a high-performing sports programme.
  • It includes eight features across scheduling, team communication, athlete monitoring, and performance profiling.
  • Coaches can track readiness and training load through validated daily check-ins and RPE, with no hardware required.
  • Performance testing and automated analysis show where each athlete stands and whether they are progressing.
  • Everything you build in Lite carries forward if you later move to the Performance or Performance Pro packages, so you can start today and upgrade your plan at any time.

Calendar and Scheduling

Sessions, times, and locations sit in every athlete’s pocket, so nobody turns up to the wrong place. Coaches can map the week in advance and let the schedule do the reminding, which means less time chasing players and more time coaching.

Attendance Tracking

Players set their own attendance status in the app, so coaches know their numbers before the session rather than counting heads on the pitch. Tracked across the season and across training types, attendance also reveals patterns worth acting on, and gives athletes credit for the commitment they are showing.

Team Chat

1-to-1 and group chat built with the youth athlete in mind, giving coaches full visibility and control over every conversation in the squad. Chat can be switched off entirely or limited to 1-to-1 or group only, so communication stays open and safeguarded at the same time.

File Sharing

Guides, videos, and documents live in one library rather than scattered across folders, drives, and old whatsapp threads. Coaches can use the calendar to push resources when they matter, from recovery after a hard session to fuelling before a game, so athletes get trusted material from their coach rather than whatever they find online.

Performance Testing and Profiling

Coaches build their own testing battery from any test they use, so nothing is left out because the software did not support it. Results are visualised in a single view, making it clear where each athlete stands and whether they are actually progressing.

Sports Performance Analysis

RYPT does the analysis automatically, turning athlete data into reports that surface the players and trends needing attention.

Athlete Wellness Monitoring

A scientifically validated daily questionnaire tracks how each athlete is responding to their training, while also covering the lifestyle factors that shape performance. It takes seconds to complete, which is why athletes actually do it, and coaches can see when a player flags.

Training Load Monitoring

RPE tracks each athlete’s perceptual response to training, letting coaches compare the intensity they planned against how hard the session actually felt. It is quick, validated, and works across every sport and training type.

At RYPT, we believe every coach should have the tools to develop their players properly.

FAQs about RYPT Lite

What is not included in RYPT Lite?

RYPT Lite does not include strength and conditioning programming, sports nutrition management, or online coaching tools, which sit in the Performance package. The more specialist areas, including GPS, integrations with STATSports and VALD, injury management, growth and maturation, and menstrual cycle tracking, sit in Performance Pro.

Do I need GPS units or wearables to monitor workload on RYPT Lite?

No. Perceptual Readiness and Internal Load give coaches a reliable picture of how athletes are coping using nothing more than the athlete’s phone. RPE and the daily questionnaire are both validated measures, and they work across every sport and training type. GPS and external load are available on Performance Pro for teams who have units.

Can I upgrade my plan at a later date without losing my data?

Yes. Athlete profiles, testing history, attendance records and load data all carry forward, so you can start on Lite today and move to Performance or Performance Pro whenever your programme calls for it.

Is Team Chat safe to use with underage athletes?

Yes, and it was built with the youth athlete in mind. Coaches have full visibility and control over every conversation in the squad. Chat can be limited to 1-to-1 or group messaging only, or switched off entirely, so clubs can set it up to match their own safeguarding policy.

Who is RYPT Lite for?

Any coach who wants scheduling, attendance, athlete monitoring, and performance testing running systematically with minimal admin workload.

How long does RYPT Lite take to set up?

Minutes. You can sign up as a coach via this link, and share a link with your squad they can use to sign up, so the workload in starting with RYPT is minimal. You can then start chatting, adding sessions to your calendar, and sharing resources straight away. Once your players are signed up, you can start tracking attendance for the sessions you have planned, and then gathering data on your training workload and your athletes’ lifestyle factors via the post-session questionnaire and daily lifestyle questionnaire.
