What is Team Assist?

Team Assist brings the parts of coaching that usually live in several different places into one app: who you work with, when you’re seeing them, what you do in the session, and what they owe.

When you first open it you choose how you’ll use it — as a Trainer (athletes, sessions, payments, packages, and notes), a Coach (teams, practices, games, attendance, notes, and simple payments), or an Athlete (for a parent, guardian, or adult athlete receiving updates from a coach or trainer).

The main areas are:

• Home — today’s sessions, follow-up items that need attention, and shortcuts into the rest of the app.
• Schedule and sessions — creating and managing sessions, including repeating ones, with optional syncing to your iPhone’s Calendar.
• Athletes and roster — a record for each person you coach, with parent or guardian contact details, notes, and history.
• Teams — groups of athletes, for practices, games, and group updates.
• Run Playbook — running a session block by block with a timer, from your iPhone or an Apple Watch remote.
• Finance center — session packages, payment requests, and payment records. Team Assist tracks money; it doesn’t move it.
• Publishing — sessions, assignments, announcements, and updates appear for the connected parent or adult athlete for each athlete.
• Team chat — text-and-emoji messaging with connected parents, adult athletes, teams, and staff.

There’s also an Apple Watch remote for Run Playbook (an optional feature you switch on), a Home Screen widget showing today’s sessions, and a share extension for importing a parent’s contact card from the Contacts app.
