Absences

See which of your athletes are due to miss sessions, so you know who to expect.

What the Absences page shows

Open Absences from the coach menu (on a phone, it's in the bottom bar). It lists the absences that have been reported for athletes on the teams you coach. For each one you can see:

  • The athlete's name and the teams they're in
  • The type: Excused, Medical, Holiday or Other
  • The date, or the first and last date if it covers several days
  • The reason, if one was given
  • How many sessions the absence affects

Use the Upcoming, All and Past tabs to narrow the list. All is shown first.

This page is read-only

You can't request an absence for yourself or change an athlete's absence from here. Kolva has no time-off request for coaches, so if you can't make a session, tell your club admin directly.

Parents request absences for their children, and the club admin approves or declines them. The list doesn't show whether a request has been approved or declined, so check with your admin if it matters.

Mandatory training periods

Your club may set up mandatory training periods. A fine for missing one only applies to an athlete who is marked absent on the register — see Marking Attendance. Ask your admin how your club handles absences during these periods.
