How to Add a Coach to a Sport in FinalForms:

A Quick Guide for Athletic Directors

As an athletic director, adding coaches to your sports roster in FinalForms should be simple and seamless. Whether you’ve just hired a new coach or need to update your staff, FinalForms makes it easy to add coaches and ensure they have the right access to your athletes' information. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get it done.

 

Step-by-Step: Adding a Coach in FinalForms

  • Go to Manage Sports
    Start by logging into your FinalForms account and navigating to the “Manage Sports” section. This is where you can view and manage all the teams and coaches for your school.
  • Find the Sport
    For this example, let’s say you’ve just hired a middle school football coach. Simply search for “Middle School Football” in the list of sports and select it.
  • Add a Coach
    Click on “Coaches”, then choose the option to add a new coach. Type in the name of your new coach—let’s say it’s Pete. Select his name from the list when it appears.
  • Define the Coach's Role
    If Pete is an assistant coach, select that option. This ensures that his role is clearly defined in the system. You’ll also be asked whether Pete should have access to roster information. In most cases, the answer will be “Yes” since the coach needs access to emergency medical information (e-cards) and other important details.
  • Add the Coach
    Once you’ve selected the necessary details, click “Add Staff”. Pete is now officially added as a coach for your middle school football team!

Why This Matters

Adding coaches quickly and efficiently ensures they have access to essential information, like athlete e-cards and medical data, right when they need it. This not only helps streamline your workflow but also ensures the safety and organization of your athletic programs.

With FinalForms, managing your coaching staff is as easy as a few clicks, so you can focus more on supporting your athletes and less on paperwork!
