I'm a coach or captain

A quick start for coaches and squad captains - find your squad, create a session, build and publish a lineup, and review athletes.

As a coach or squad captain you work in the Coach part of Rowbot: your squad's sessions, the crews you seat, and the athletes you look after. Here's how to get going.

Find your squad. Your squad is a group in Rowbot. What you can do - and for whom - depends on your role and its scope, so a club-wide coach can plan anywhere while a squad captain plans for their own group. See Roles and permissions.

Create a session. Put an outing, erg or race on the calendar, link it to your group, and switch on RSVP, lineups and attendance as needed. See Creating sessions.

Build and publish a lineup. Seat your crew in the lineup editor - Rowbot flags missing certifications and clashes - then publish so the crew can see who's where. See Building lineups.

Review your athletes. Take attendance, read training journals and check analytics to see who's training, who's away and who needs a word. See Athletes and analytics.

Captains: many coaching tools are scoped to your group. If a screen looks empty, check you're acting for the right squad - see Squad captains.

Next, structure your squad's work with Training plans, or read Groups and squads to understand how positions and badges grant the access you have.
