Coach Portal Polish & Fixes

What & Why

The Coach Portal has several UX issues and a data-model bug that need fixing. The Specializations section has no way to add/edit entries. The Probationary Readiness checklist includes "Police Check Valid" which is wrong — the academy only uses Safe Sport + EPIC Check. The "Getting Started" badge is not clickable. Coaches need to see how long they've been with the academy. Profile editing is scattered across multiple places. Additionally, the coach level system needs a "Custom" level that SuperAdmins can assign with whatever pay rate they determine, overriding the standard tiered structure.

Done looks like

Specializations section has an "Add/Edit Specializations" button that opens a form with preset volleyball specialization options (e.g., Serving, Setting, Passing, Blocking, Defense, etc.) plus custom entry
"Police Check Valid" is completely removed from the Probationary Readiness (Tier 1) requirements — only Safe Sport + EPIC Check remain as safety requirements
"Getting Started" badge in Coach Development Pathway is a clickable link that navigates to the Onboarding tab
Coach Portal Dashboard shows "Member Since" / academy tenure (e.g., "Academy Coach since March 2024 — 2 years") using the field from
Coach profile credential badges area on the Dashboard tab shows tenure info alongside existing badges (ACADEMY HEAD COACH, NCCP: CERTIFIED, etc.)
Profile data entry is streamlined — the My Profile tab's read-only NCCP/experience section provides inline editing so coaches can update directly without hunting for the right form
A new "CUSTOM" coach level exists that SuperAdmins can assign to any coach with a freely-set custom hourly pay rate (not bound to the standard level pay ranges). The custom level and pay rate display correctly on the coach's portal, in staffing/assignment views, and in the pay scale

Out of scope

Redesigning the entire Coach Portal layout
Coach onboarding flow changes beyond fixing the Getting Started link
Adding new certification types
Changes to the Coach Directory page
