Coach setup, profile and email confirmation

What it is

The short setup a new coach completes once, the profile you can edit afterwards, and the email confirmation that lets families connect with you.

How to use it

1. After you sign up as a coach you land on a setup page. Choose softball or baseball, add your school or organization and your team name, and optionally a phone number. Tap the button at the bottom to go to your dashboard.
2. To change any of this later, open Coach profile from the menu. Edit the team name, school or organization, sport or phone and save. On the mobile app it is under Profile, in Profile details.
3. Check your inbox for the confirmation email we send when you sign up and tap the link. You are taken back to your roster with a message that your email is confirmed.
4. Until you have confirmed, a banner on your roster reminds you. Choose Send it again to get a fresh link without leaving the page.

Rules and limits

• Your team name is shown to your athletes on invites, on assigned workouts and anywhere your team appears in the app.
• The confirmation link works for 48 hours and only once. You can ask for a new one up to 5 times an hour.
• You need a confirmed email before you can accept a family's link invite to coach their athlete.
• Editing your profile never clears the fields you did not touch.
• The profile is about you as a coach. Teams, staff and rosters are managed separately; see the teams card.

Edge cases

• If you open an old link that has expired or was already used, you land on your roster with a failed message. Use Send it again for a new one.
• If a family invites you by your email address and you accept from that email, that also confirms your address.
• If you leave the setup page before finishing, you are sent back to it until it is done.
• The phone number is optional and is formatted for you as you type.
