## What is Dragon Players?

Dragon Players is the app for Dragon Academy families. Follow your child's football at the academy, from the next session to the coach's recap, while their own 3D dragon grows every time they train.

You need a Dragon Academy membership to use the app: sign in with your parent account and link your child. Dragon Academy runs weekly football coaching for ages 2 to 13 in RCT, Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot.

THE WEEK AT THE ACADEMY
• See the next session and say if your child is coming, so the coaches can plan.
• After each session, read the coach's recap and see who was Player of the Week.
• Message your child's coaches. Press and hold a message to report it or block the sender.
• Academy news, coach awards and Coach of the Month voting.

THEIR DEVELOPMENT
• Dragon cards: after an assessment day, scan your child's card to see their skills, rated 1 to 5.
• Learn: drills with 3D demos for every age group, courses for parents and players, and a skills deck for 8 to 13s.
• The coach's skill of the week to practise at home, for XP.
• Their month: at the start of each month, a tap-through review of last month's sessions, XP, medals and League.
• Weekend Match Card: log a weekend match in a few taps and it becomes a match card.

THEIR OWN 3D DRAGON
• Every player has a 3D dragon in its own cave. It grows through six stages, Egg to Legend, mostly by turning up to sessions.
• Session night is matchday: after the coaches record a session, your child opens a matchday pack and their dragon walks out of the tunnel to collect what it earned.
• Medals and trophies fill the cave shelves, and unlock wear, moves, cave pieces and colours.
• At Fire Dragon, your child chooses a pet to keep.
• Walk the cave with a thumb stick and visit cave friends. A parent approves each one, and friends can only send a wave, a high five or a celebration. No chat.

PLAY AND COMPETE
• Dragon Stadium: eight 3D football games starring their dragon, from Keepy-Uppies to 1v1 Arena, with academy records. Games never give XP.
• The League: monthly XP tables for their group, age group and the academy, plus the area race.
• The Dragon Trophy Series: a trophy event every school holiday for Junior and Advanced Dragons, with 3D trophies for the winners.
• Stories made from a medal, a game record or a session, with stickers and a caption from a list. No photos, and they last 3 days.

DRAGON MODE
• Hand over your phone and your child sees only the parts you allow, with an optional time limit. Your PIN is the only way out.

BUILT FOR FAMILIES
• Parents hold the account. Dragon mode and player logins have no buy buttons and no messages.
• Other families see a first name and initial only, and you can hide your child's name from the League.
• Delete your account at any time in Profile.

PREMIUM (OPTIONAL)
An optional monthly subscription, bought by a parent in the app. One covers every child on the account. It adds:
• Every pet straight away, plus four baby dragon hatchlings.
• Four cave styles and six dragon skins.
• Premium moves, wear and cave pieces.
• AI Coach, the home session builder in Learn, and every Premium course.
Premium never buys medals, trophies, XP, stages or League places.

DEVELOPMENT PLUS
Development Plus is Dragon Academy's coaching add-on. Each month your child's lead coach gives them a one-to-one check-in, at training or by video call, and you get a review card in the app with their skills, one strength, one focus and a home drill: a plan for the month ahead. Premium is included.

SUBSCRIPTION
Premium is £4.99 a month (UK price; the app shows your price before you buy). Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-11-01

The biggest Dragon Players update yet, with a whole new look. Everything your child has earned comes with them.

• Session-night walkout: after each session, your child opens a matchday pack and their 3D dragon walks out of the tunnel to collect what they earned.
• My Dragon: a 3D cave to customise and explore, with medals and trophies on the shelves, cave friends and a pet at Fire Dragon.
• Dragon Stadium: all eight games are now in 3D, starring your child's dragon.
• The League: tables for the group, the age group and the academy, plus the race between the areas.
• Their month: a review of the last month, at the start of every month.
• Weekend Match Card: turn a weekend match into a match card.
• Dragon cards: scan your child's assessment card to see their skills.
• Learn: 3D demos for the drills, and a new skills deck for 8 to 13 year olds.
• Dragon mode: hand over your phone with only the parts you allow, behind your PIN.
• Stories made from medals, games and sessions, and a new Home built around the next session and the coach's recap.
• Premium: optional extras for the 3D world, AI Coach and Premium courses, bought by a parent.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-15

A guided setup now walks you through the app the first time you open it — linking your child's Dragon, the starter course and your first Story — and you can pause or hide it at any point and pick up where you left off.

Sharing a Story is quicker. Choose what it's about first, then only the moments that fit appear, with your best score in each game rather than every result. Pick the card colour, show the Dragon or an emoji, and add your own caption.

Coaches can now write and share session updates in the app, with a Player of the Week and photo in every session, and edit or take down a post after sharing it.

Also: Coach of the Month voting for families, coach photos on Academy posts, home training activities now save the reflection you write, and fixes for the Dragon not appearing on Home and My Dragon.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-29

Improved layout scaling and text fit across iPhone sizes, including iPhone 15 and iPhone 14. Added reliable Dragon Players Premium purchase, retry and restore flows for AI Coach, plus update diagnostics and general stability improvements.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-18

A complete Dragon Players redesign featuring My AI Coach, an improved My Dragon progression experience, assessment-led development profiles, a smarter training diary, refreshed Learn and Compete sections, and performance improvements throughout the app.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-13

No release notes.
