Coach a team

For a high school, college, or club coach. The team has one page for you, and one for each player and parent.

  1. 1

    Make the team

    On You, tap Coach a team. Name it and its season.

  2. 2

    Add the roster

    Add players by name, with a parent’s email for anyone under 18. Or tap Share on the team code: a player opens the link, taps Join, and you pick their row.

  3. 3

    Put practices and matches on the calendar

    Each one asks the team who’s in. A player, or their parent, answers In or Out.

    A coach’s team page on a phone: Lakeview Girls Golf, Fall 2026, Denise Carter, nine players, eight joined; practices with how many are in, a match against Westfield High at Mill Creek Municipal with its lineup, and the fall qualifier below
  4. 4

    Log a practice

    At a practice, type each player’s result on a drill. The team’s drill board shows the last practice, each player’s best and their last five.

  5. 5

    Run a qualifier

    A qualifier is an event on the team where every round counts. Its board is one tap from the team page.

  6. 6

    Send the lineup

    For a match, place who plays, in order, and the alternates. Sending it posts the lineup to the team. Why a player is where they are reaches only that player and their parents.

  7. 7

    Keep the match score

    Type the other school’s total. Every match plays five and counts the lowest four, and the match says Won by 11, Lost by 3 or Tied.

  8. 8

    Post to the team

    A coach’s post goes to everyone on the team. The season has its own thread for the team to talk in, and you can close it.
