🚀 Getting started

To sign up as a coach, go to app.smagpie.com/users/register and choose Create Organization. That creates your team and your coach account, and coach accounts are free. On a phone the same choice is labeled Create Org.

If another coach referred you, open their link or type their code into Referral code (optional), and your team gets a free Athlete Pass. See Referrals.

Once you’re in, you land on the Coach Hub. Next, set up your team.

To set up your team, do these five steps. They’re in the order the Coach Hub lists them, and each one says where it happens in the app.

1. Set up team basics: open Team Settings → General Settings (Timezone, Unit Preferences, Enabled Activities), then Save. Schedules, units and the sports you can plan all follow these settings. This step ticks once you save with a time zone and at least one sport.
2. Review team zones: open Team Settings → Team Zones, so workouts scale to each athlete. This step ticks when you open Team Zones after you’ve saved a sport in step 1. See How zones work.
3. Invite your athletes: open Athletes and click Invite Athlete. This step ticks when your first athlete joins the team, not when you send the invite. See How do I invite athletes to my team?
4. Set athlete benchmarks: use the benchmark column on the Coach Hub (Set benchmark), or the athlete enters their own on Benchmarks with an Athlete Pass. Benchmarks hold each athlete’s thresholds, so their zones become personal paces, heart rates or watts. This step ticks once one athlete has a benchmark for a sport your team has turned on. See How zones work.
5. Assign your first workout: open Training Schedule and add a workout, or plan a whole season with Training Plans.

The Get your team ready card at the top of the Coach Hub ticks each step the next time you open the hub after it’s done. When all five are done, the card goes away.

Assistant coaches join with an Invite Coach code. See How do I add an assistant coach?

To join your coach’s team, open the invite link your coach sent you, or go to app.smagpie.com/users/register, choose Join a Team and type in the team code. You must be 13 or older to sign up.

If you use your coach’s link, the team code is already filled in and the page shows your team’s name. If you type the code yourself and it’s wrong, the page tells you, so check it with your coach.

Signup asks for your birth month and year to check that you’re 13 or older. Smagpie doesn’t accept anyone younger. If you’re under 13, talk to your coach.

Parents: you can sit with your child while they sign up. Your child doesn’t need a Discord account or anything else to use Smagpie. See Is Smagpie safe for my child?

Once you’re in, connect your watch so your runs and rides come in on their own.
