For coaches
Plan, assign and follow up.
Build a program once, publish a version and assign it to the athletes you coach. Keep goal-specific plans running side by side, record sessions and see what still needs your attention.
Open-source athlete management for university sport
Keep the athletein view.
Rafik is an open-source training workspace for universities, clubs and sports institutions. Coaches, athletes and administrators share plans, attendance and assessments in one place your institution runs itself.

Your team. Your infrastructure. Your data.
Explore the source01Why Rafik
One athlete. Too many places to look.
The current plan lives in a spreadsheet. Attendance sits in a paper register. The latest assessment is buried in an email thread. Before every session, someone has to piece it all together again.
Rafik keeps those answers in one place, and shows each person only what their role allows.
02Product
Three roles. One clear picture.
Administrators, coaches and athletes work from the same record. Server permissions decide who sees what, so a visible name is never a key to someone else's data.
For administrators
Know who is responsible for whom.
Invite people with one clear role, organise your sports and specialties, and name the primary and supporting coach for every athlete. Give the workspace your institution's name, logo and colours.
For athletes
Know what's planned.
Athletes see their own assigned training, record what they actually did, and decide what to share from their food diary.
Planned sessionRecorded by the athlete
Also in the workspace: groups and calendar, assessments, attendance, conversations, nutrition sharing and reports.
Explore all capabilities03Field app for Android
At the session. At the point of work.
Coaches download the schedule and roster before heading out, then record attendance, assessment results and completion at the field, even without a connection.
Rafik always tells you which state you are in.

05Getting started
Begin with one workflow.
No migration project, no long procurement. See one task your coaches already know, with sample data, before anything else.
One coach, one task
Pick something that takes effort today, like attendance follow-up or reviewing an athlete's plans.
A short conversation
Tell us how that task works now, and who is involved.
A sample-data demo
We show the same task in Rafik with fictional records. No real athlete data is involved.
Then your IT team, if it helps
Talk through running your own instance: hosting, backups and access.

Open source. Institution-operated. Built for how university sport actually works.
Rafik is available as an evaluation beta. Each institution should review privacy, security and operations before using real athlete data. Current limitations
