Getting started for coaches
From signing up to a team that's ready to go: everything you need to get started.
1. Create your account
As a Coach, you're the one who creates the team. You can sign up in two ways:
- With Google or Apple: tap the button at the top of the sign-up screen. Sign-in starts right away; if you're a new user, the app shows the "Complete your profile" step, where you pick the Coach role and enter your team's name. Your name and email come pre-filled from your Google or Apple account.
- With email and password: fill in your first name, last name, email and password with confirmation. The password must be at least 8 characters long, with an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter and a number: the checkmarks light up as each requirement is met.
The first two fields of the sign-up form are your nationality and the app language: when you pick your country, the most natural language is pre-selected and the whole screen switches language instantly, without losing anything you had already typed. The app is available in 9 languages: details are in the Account and security guide.
2. The team creation wizard
Right after signing up, a guided setup takes you through a few quick steps. You can change everything later from Settings.
- Team details — team name, gender (men's, women's or mixed) and league (e.g. "Serie D, Under 18").
- Logo — upload a PNG or JPG image. A square logo works best, but a rectangular one is fine too: it's always shown in full, never cropped. You can also skip this step and upload it later.
- Plan — the free trial of the Pro plan is already active when your team is created: keep going for free and decide later. When you want to subscribe to a Pro or Club plan, it's done from the Subscription page of the web app (in your browser): all the details are in the subscriptions guide.
- Quick invites — create the invite link and share it with athletes and staff: they'll join the team with one tap, with the role they picked when they signed up.
- Roster — the wizard ends on your team page, where you can start adding players.
3. The welcome journey
The first time you sign in on iPhone or Android, the app greets you with a short welcome carousel, and the "First steps" checklist appears on your Dashboard: upload the team logo, invite your members, create your first event (or import the calendar), upload your first document, your first video... The checkmarks light up on their own as you complete each task, and every item opens the right screen directly. Finish them all and you've earned some confetti. If you'd rather explore on your own, you can hide the checklist at any time.
4. What you can do as a coach
- Events and calendar: a calendar of practices and matches, saved venues, attendance with per-player notes and document attachments (e.g. call-up sheets).
- Team and roster: players with photos, jersey numbers, positions, plus your coaching staff.
- Members and invites: you approve join requests and decide what the staff can do.
- Documents: a general archive plus match documents organized by competition.
- Statistics and live scouting: import DataVolley scout files and track matches point by point.
- Video analysis: upload match videos and analyze them with clips and filters.
- Polls: lineup voting, self-assessments and questionnaires for your athletes.
- Season: at the end of the year, export the archive and start fresh.
