Getting started, step by step
Receive your registration link
Your club or coach will send you (or your parent/guardian) a registration link by email or direct message. Click it to get started — it takes just a couple of minutes.
- No account needed before you receive the link
- The link is unique to you
- Completely free to join
Under 18?: If you're under 18, your parent or guardian will usually receive the invitation and set up your account on your behalf.
Complete your player profile
Once you're in, fill out your player profile. The more accurate it is, the better your coach can plan for you.
- Full name and date of birth
- Playing position (and preferred foot)
- Kit number
- Profile photo (optional but encouraged)
Stand out: A complete profile with a photo helps your coach quickly identify you in the squad list.
View your team and upcoming matches
Your team dashboard shows you everything that's coming up — matches, training sessions, and any important club news.
- Upcoming match dates, kick-off times, and venues
- Your team's current season fixtures
- Recent match results
- Team announcements from your coach
Stay prepared: Check your dashboard before every match week so you always know where to be and when.
Check your availability (or your guardian does)
Before each match or training session, your coach needs to know if you're coming. You (or your guardian) can mark availability from the dashboard.
- See every upcoming event in your calendar
- Tap Available or Unavailable for each event
- Your coach sees your response immediately
- Change your answer anytime if your plans change
Help your coach: Marking availability early means your coach can plan the lineup properly instead of guessing who's turning up.
View your match lineups
Before each match, your coach will publish the lineup and you can see your position on the pitch, your squad role, and any tactical notes.
- Your position on the team lineup graphic
- Starting eleven and substitutes list
- Formation and shape for the match
- Captain and vice-captain designation
Match day ready: Checking the lineup before you arrive means no surprises — you know your role before you get to the pitch.
Follow your stats and progress
After each match your coach records goals, assists, ratings, and playing time. You can view your personal stats and track your progress across the season.
- Goals and assists per match and for the season
- Playing time across all matches
- Performance ratings from your coach
- Player of the Match awards
