How to set up a flag football team

Start on the web. Sign up and choose I'm a Coach.

1. Tell us about yourself.
2. Name your organization (required) and pick the sport.
3. Pick the type, like Club Team, High School Team or League.
4. Add your branding and social links, or skip them for now.

A team type asks a bit more:

• Age group (required)
• Gender (required)
• Team level, for a high school team (required)

When you're done, the app suggests what's next: schedule a game, add athletes, add a metric and add staff.

Prefer your phone? Tap +, then Create a Team.

1. Pick your organization, or create a new one.
2. Fill in the team name (required), type, gender, age group and sport.
3. Choose who can see the team.
4. Tap Create.

Tip: Run two teams in one age group? Add a team delineation, like Gold or Silver.

Made the team on the web already? No need to do it again. Sign in on your phone and it's there.

Your logo and colors show up on your team page, the app header and every athlete's card pack.

Your logo:

• Square works best. You'll crop it to 500 x 500.
• PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP, up to 10MB.
• A PNG with a clear background looks best on dark cards.

• Web: Choose Upload Logo. Drag your file in, or Select a file. Crop it, then save.
• Phone: Tap Tap to add logo. Pick it from your camera roll, then crop it.

Your colors: pick a Primary and a Secondary color. Type a hex code, like #247BA0, or tap a swatch.

You can change them later from either.

Two settings matter most. Find them in your team's settings on the web.

App Visibility sets who can find your team:

• Public: Shows up in app search. Anyone can follow it.
• Private: Only members can see it. Not in app search.
• Hidden: Doesn't show up in app search.

Who can record stats sets who can stat your games:

• Staff only
• Staff and parents
• Anyone affiliated with the team

Tip: A parent running the phone on the sideline? Pick Staff and parents.

Add staff members with a name and a phone number, an email address, or both (one is required). Then select their role:

• Organization Admin: Full control of the organization: every team, user, event and staff member, plus payments and billing.
• Parent Staffer: A parent of an athlete on the team who also runs it. Can do what an Organization Admin can, except payments and payouts.
• Group Admin: Full control of the teams they're assigned to.
• Stat Keeper: Creates and stats games for the team, and can see everything.
• Data Entry: Records results at combine events and checks athletes in, and can see everything.
• View Only: Sees team details and athlete data, but can't change anything.

• Web: The Staff tab on the roster. Add several at once.
• Phone: Add Staff, then Pick a Role.

Each person gets an invite. They show as pending until they claim it.

Tip: Each role can add staff at its own level or below.

Every invite comes with an 8 digit code. On the phone, the athlete or parent:

1. Taps +, then Enter a Code.
2. Types in the code.
3. Lands on your team.

Families can also find your team in the app and ask to join. Their request waits for you on the web, on the roster's Pending players tab:

• Approve: Adds the athlete to your roster.
• Decline: Leaves them following the team.
