Netherlands, September 14, 2026 -- Koach, a volleyball app for coaches and clubs, has been released in six languages as the European volleyball season gets under way. The app combines the line-up, live scoring, training planning and attendance registration in one place, and is available on iOS, Android and in the browser. It was designed and built by Dennis Boekhout, a 28-year-old coach from 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch) in the southern Netherlands.

Dennis coaches a team in the first class, a regional amateur in the Dutch system, at a club in Rosmalen, a district of 's-Hertogenbosch. He built Koach alongside a full-time job, after finding that existing software was either too limited or too expensive for volunteer coaches.
When Dennis started coaching two years ago, he was spending more time on paperwork than on the sport. "I was juggling a group chat for team messages, a spreadsheet for attendance, a notepad for my observations and my phone for keeping score. Four systems that knew nothing about each other," he says. Existing apps did not solve the problem. "One app did a single thing well, and I'd still need three more as well." The alternatives that did cover everything were, in his view, priced for professional clubs with budgets rather than for volunteer-run ones.

The app lets coaches set up a 4-2, 5-1 or 6-2 system, assign a setter and a libero, and check that the rotation is legal on the court. A line-up that works can be saved and reused the following week. During a match, two taps per point log who scored and how, and player statistics are recorded automatically. That also works without an internet connection, because many sports halls have no mobile signal.
Alongside match day, Koach handles training planning, and attendance is recorded with a single tap. The app ships with a library of 200 animated drills and an editor for coaches to draw their own, and it tracks player development across a full season. Players and parents get their own accounts, so parents can mark a child as available or absent for a session without going through the coach. The club plan adds unlimited teams and coaches, a club-wide overview and a shared drill library, so that a departing coach's drills and records stay with the club.
Koach is available in Dutch, English, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish. Coaches can use the app free for 14 days, with no payment details required. After that, a subscription for a single team, covering up to two coaches, costs €2.99 (about £2.60 / $3.20) a month, while clubs pay €9.99 a month for unlimited teams and coaches. "I don't want to pay a fortune just to coach my own team," says Dennis..

Dennis now uses the app with his own team every week. "In a one-to-one with a player, I don't have to say 'I think you're improving'. I can show it."
About Koach: Koach is an app for volleyball coaches that brings line-ups, live scoring, statistics, attendance, player development and training sessions together in one place. It works offline and synchronises automatically once a connection returns. Koach was designed and built by Dennis Boekhout, a coach based in 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, on a single principle: coach the team, not the paperwork.

Since the Shaw Prize was first presented in 2004, the prestigious annual awards have been presented in three categories: astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences.

The appeal of a good knit is often immediate, from the softness against the skin to the reassuring volume and warmth. At 45R, those qualities begin well before a garment takes shape. The Japanese label’s latest selection puts the making process in focus, bringing together airy merino, characterful Shetland wool and the flecked textures of Donegal tweed. Founded in Tokyo in 1977, 45R approaches clothing through monozukuri, or the “art of making”, a philosophy centred on respect for craft and...

Back in April, suit jackets lined with interesting graphics and prints emerged as one of the more unusual fashion trends at the 2026 NFL draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the annual event where professional American football teams pick out the best young players looking to enter the league. Colton Hood, then a Tennessee cornerback, now on the New York Giants’ roster, rocked up in a cobalt-blue jacket that, when opened, revealed a swathe of family photographs across the lining, chronicling his...

At 22, Luca Yang was running a small teaching company in New Zealand after quitting a six-figure finance job that he hated. It had humble beginnings, where he tutored English online for A$25 (US$17.55) per hour just to get by. When one of his students got into Oxford, word spread: one student became 50, then 500. By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
