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:

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.

If you sign up with email, you'll receive a confirmation message: open the link and the app carries on by itself. The link is valid for 48 hours and you can have it resent. If you sign in with Google or Apple, you skip this step.

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.

  1. Team details — team name, gender (men's, women's or mixed) and league (e.g. "Serie D, Under 18").
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Roster — the wizard ends on your team page, where you can start adding players.
You don't have to do everything right away: the invite link and team code are always within reach in More → Settings → Invite new users.

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

The app is available on iPhone, Android and as a web app at www.volleycontrolcenter.app: you use the same account everywhere.
