Everything you need to set up your team, read athlete data, and get the most out of the Pro Coach Dashboard.
Visit futurechamp.app/coach. Click "New coach? Create a team."
Email, a 4-6 digit PIN (this is your login), your team name (e.g. "Eastside Thunder U14"), and your sport.
You will immediately receive a unique 6-character team code (like THUN14). This is what parents enter in the app to link their athlete to your dashboard.
Parents enter the team code in the FutureChamp app under Parent Dashboard → Settings → Team. Once they enter it, their athlete appears on your roster automatically. No approval needed. No data entry on your end.
"Download FutureChamp (free) at futurechamp.app. Enter team code THUN14 in Settings."
Include it in your pre-season parent email alongside practice schedules.
Add it to a handout: "What should my kid do between practices? Use FutureChamp. Team code: THUN14."
Say it at the first parent meeting: "I want to track your kid's development. Here's the code."
The Dashboard tab shows four metric cards at the top:
| Metric | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Athletes | Total athletes linked to your team code, and how many have completed the baseline fitness test. |
| Team Avg Percentile | The average of all tested athletes' overall fitness percentile. Higher is better. 50th is average for their age. |
| 7-Day Compliance | What percentage of your roster has trained at least once in the last 7 days. |
| Workouts This Week | Total individual workout sessions completed across all athletes in the last 7 days. |
Below the metrics is the roster table. Each row shows one athlete with:
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Overall | Average percentile across all 5 fitness tests. Color-coded: green (70+), orange (45-69), yellow (25-44), red (below 25). |
| Core / Power / Endurance | Individual percentile scores with mini progress bars. Hover shows the exact number. |
| Streak | How many consecutive days the athlete has trained. Longer streaks = better consistency. |
| Last Active | When they last completed a workout. Red text means inactive for 7+ days. |
| Level | Recruiting readiness: Developing, Middle School, JV Ready, Varsity, or Elite. Based on composite percentile. |
| Send Report | One-click button to generate a parent progress report (see Section 5). |
Alerts appear automatically when the system detects something that needs your attention. They are sorted by urgency: red first, then yellow, blue, and green.
| Color | Alert Type | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| 🔴 Red | Athlete inactive 7+ days | Check in with the parent. The athlete may be injured, burned out, or just forgot. |
| 🔴 Red | Rated "too hard" 3x in a row | The difficulty level is too high. Recommend the parent hit "Retest" in the app to recalibrate. |
| 🟠 Yellow | Pain reported 2+ times in 2 weeks | The athlete flagged pain in the same area repeatedly. Talk to the parent. May need medical evaluation. |
| 🔵 Blue | Rated "too easy" 3x in a row | Good problem. Athlete is outgrowing their difficulty. Recommend retest to increase intensity. |
| 🔵 Blue | Athletes due for retest | Athletes who have completed 10+ workouts but never retested. Retest shows improvement and recalibrates difficulty. |
| 🟢 Green | Hit JV-ready benchmarks | Celebrate it. Share with the parent. This is the kind of milestone that keeps families engaged. |
A modal opens with a pre-written progress report containing the athlete's name, team, overall percentile, breakdown by category, recruiting level, streak, and workout count.
The entire report is copied. Paste it into a text message, email, GroupMe, Remind, or whatever your team communication tool is.
The parent receives an objective, data-driven report from their coach. No opinions. No awkward conversations. Just numbers.
The Weekly Digest tab shows a preview of the automated email you receive every Monday at 7am. It contains:
Total workouts, athletes who trained, compliance rate, team average percentile, longest streak.
Names and days since last workout. These are the athletes who need a nudge.
Athletes ranked by overall percentile. Gold, silver, bronze. Recognize them at practice.
Any athlete who reported pain during the week, and which body area.
The Practice Cards tab analyzes your team's baseline data, identifies the weakest fitness categories, and generates three printable workout cards:
| Card | Duration | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Practice Warm-Up | 8 min | Targets your team's #1 weakness. 4 exercises with coaching cues. |
| Main Training Block | 15 min | Combines your team's two weakest areas. 6 exercises. This is the meat of supplemental training. |
| Cool-Down Finisher | 5 min | Maintains your team's strongest area. 3 exercises to end on a high note. |
Each card shows the exercise name, reps/sets, a one-line coaching cue, and the target muscle group. Click Print Practice Cards to print all three on standard paper.
Cards update automatically when athletes retest. As your team's weaknesses shift, the practice recommendations shift with them.
Plank hold (seconds), broad jump (inches), curl-ups in 60 seconds (count), push-ups max reps (count), single-leg balance (seconds). Total time: 15 minutes for a group of 20.
In the Tryout Mode tab, type the athlete's name, select age group, and enter the 5 test scores. Click "Score Athlete."
The system converts raw scores to age-appropriate percentiles and ranks all athletes by overall fitness. You see who is Elite, Varsity, JV Ready, Middle School, or Developing.
The Tryout Insights panel shows you the most complete athlete, most explosive, best core, best endurance, and how many are JV-ready. Print the results or use them alongside your skill evaluation.
The Season Goals tab lets you set team-wide objectives that update in real time as athletes train. Choose from presets or create custom targets:
| Goal | How It is Measured |
|---|---|
| Athletes JV-ready | Count of athletes with 55th+ overall percentile. |
| Team avg 65th pct | Average overall percentile across all tested athletes. |
| 90% weekly compliance | Percentage of roster that trained in the last 7 days. |
| All athletes tested | Count of athletes who have completed the baseline fitness test. |
| 5+ avg streak | Average consecutive training days across the roster. |
Each goal shows a progress bar, current value, target value, and percentage complete. Goals are stored locally per team and persist between sessions.
The Team Pulse tab compares your team against FutureChamp averages and top-25% teams across all five fitness categories. You see:
Your team vs. average vs. top 25% for core, power, endurance, upper strength, and stability. With gap indicators.
How many of your athletes fall into Elite, Strong, Average, Below Average, and Needs Work bands.
The fitness category where your team is furthest below the top 25%. This is where practice focus pays off most.
Your best category. Maintain it with cool-down finishers while focusing practice on the weakness.
Every fitness score is converted to a percentile based on national age-group norms. A percentile tells you where the athlete ranks compared to other kids their age:
| Percentile | Meaning | Color |
|---|---|---|
| 85th+ | Elite — better than 85% of kids their age | Blue |
| 70th–84th | Strong — well above average | Green |
| 45th–69th | Average to good — solid foundation | Orange |
| 25th–44th | Below average — targeted development needed | Yellow |
| Below 25th | Needs focused work — high growth potential | Red |
The overall percentile is the average of all 5 individual test percentiles. It gives you a single number that represents the athlete's general physical readiness.
| Level | Overall Percentile | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Elite | 85th+ | Fitness profile consistent with top-tier athletes at this age. College-level physical tools. |
| Varsity | 70th–84th | Ready for varsity-level competition. Strong physical foundation across all areas. |
| JV Ready | 55th–69th | Physical fitness supports JV/competitive level play. Continued development will unlock varsity potential. |
| Middle School | 35th–54th | Age-appropriate development. Building the base for competitive athletics in high school. |
| Developing | Below 35th | Early stage development with high growth potential. Consistent training will show rapid improvement. |
| Feature | Free | Pro ($49/mo) |

Do I need to create accounts for my athletes?
No. Parents download the free FutureChamp app and enter your team code. The athlete's data flows to your dashboard automatically. Zero data entry on your end.
What if a parent does not download the app?
Athletes who are not in the app will not appear on your dashboard. The more parents who participate, the more complete your picture. Most coaches find that 60-80% adoption is achievable when they share the code at the first parent meeting.
Can I have multiple teams?
Yes. Each team gets its own code. You can switch between teams in the dashboard. Each team on the Pro plan is billed separately at $49/month.
Can athletes be on multiple teams?
Currently, an athlete can be linked to one team at a time. If they switch teams, the parent enters the new team code in Settings.
Is the athlete data private?
Yes. You see only fitness data: percentiles, workout compliance, streaks, and pain reports. You cannot see parent emails, family information, or device data. The app is COPPA compliant.
What happens when an athlete retests?
Their percentile scores update automatically on your dashboard. You will see the new numbers the next time you refresh or log in. The practice cards will also update to reflect any changes in team weaknesses.
Can I export the data?
The Print button works on the Dashboard, Practice Cards, and Tryout Results. PDF export for the full roster is available on the Pro plan.
How do I cancel?
Email hello@futurechamp.app. You can also downgrade to the free plan at any time, which retains your team and data but limits visibility to 5 athletes.
Create your team in 30 seconds. Free to start, no credit card required.
