Hi - sounds like you have the miCoach Speed_Cell but are using the wrong app. Try downloading 'micoach football' from the app store.
To initially set up the football app you will need an internet connection to sign in to micoach. After that you only need a connection to send workouts up to micoach.com - he will be able to sync data from the speed_cell to his ipod and view it on the ipod without an internet connection.
I am guessing, the app you are using is miCoach mobile which is for real-time coached training and not on-pitch use.
Cheers,
Chuck.
