What's a Team?

A Team is simply a group of athletes who are following the same training program, on the same schedule. With a team, you'll have one calendar to maintain programming, which will be delivered to multiple athletes.

By grouping athletes on a Team, you'll have:

1. A central place to invite your athletes
2. A single calendar to program and deliver training to the group
3. Once place to communicate to ALL athletes
4. The ability to analyze the group's training behaviors and progress

Group your athletes on a team according to focus, ability level, or sessions per week. Athletes can belong to multiple teams, too. 

To create a team, Login to your coach account, and follow the 3 steps below:

1. Select 'Create New' in the top right from the Teams page

2. Name your Team

3. Select 'Create Team'

This will bring you to your Team's calendar to begin programming.

From the Team Settings, you can also give the Team some personality and swagger by uploading a Logo and Cover Image.

Click on the camera icon to upload an image file from your computer.

Pro Tip: The best sizes for the logo image is 500 x 500 Pixels and 500 x 1500 Pixels for the cover image.

To create a new team from the mobile app: 

1. Log into your account, select the calendar icon at the bottom of the screen and choose the arrow next to your profile image on the upper left-hand corner. 

2. Next, select Teams and click on the plus sign near the lower right-hand corner. 

3. Type in the name of the new team and choose Create Team. 

What's Next:

1. Add programming to the Team's calendar
2. Invite Athletes

We recommend you have published programming on the calendar before you invite your athletes to the Team. This ensures they receive the best first experience. Then, you're ready to invite your athletes to the Team!
