When you create a squad, you become its manager and its admin. Here's the order most coaches go in.
1. Create your squad
On your home screen ("You're not part of any teams yet…"), tap Create Squad. Already in a squad? Tap the squad badge at the top left and tap Create Squad.
On your dashboard, open Create a squad and click Create Squad. Already in a squad? Click + (Add a squad) on the left and choose Create a squad.
The full walkthrough is in Create a squad.
2. Follow the welcome slides
Right after you create it, Scouty shows a few slides: Welcome to your squad, Set up your squad rules (admins), Add coaching staff, Build Your Team, Set up your sessions and You're all set!. You can open the squad rules from there, or come back to them later.
3. Decide who does what
Open Squad rules to choose whether the coaches or the admins add players, create matches and create trainings, and what players can see.
4. Add your backroom staff
Invite your assistant coaches, physio and others from Manage Staff. See Add backroom staff.
5. Add your players
Players can find your squad with Find a squad and ask to join, or you can invite them. Players without the app can be added as virtual players.
