Setting Up a Match

Setting up a match in Coach Base takes you through three steps: match setup, attendance list, and match formation.

Starting a new match​

On the Dashboard, tap Setup new match. Or go to Matches and tap the red + button.

Step 1: Match setup​

Tap the edit icon on Teamshirt to customize your team's shirt for this match.

Fill in:

  • Opponent club name: search for the opponent's club by name, or type a custom name
  • Opponent team name (e.g. U15-3)

Then configure the match itself:

  • Venue location: Home or Away
  • Match date and start time
  • Match type (e.g. Competition)
  • Match settings: choose between Default team settings, Use other match as template, or Customize

Expand Advanced settings for:

  • Team: the team this match is set up for
  • Active period: the period this match belongs to
  • Relation code: an optional reference code

Tap Next to continue, or Cancel to discard the match.

Step 2: Attendance list​

Each player from your team selection is listed and marked Present by default. Use the ... menu next to a player for more options, or tap the red X to remove them from the list.

Tap the red + button to add a player.

note

The Attendance request center becomes available once the match setup is complete.

Tap Next to continue, or Back to go to the previous step.

Step 3: Match formation​

The Match formation screen shows your line-up and formation side by side. On the left, your players are listed with their shirt numbers - use the icons next to a player to set them as goalkeeper or captain for this match. On the right, the pitch shows your players already placed in a formation, which you can adjust by dragging them into position.

tip

Unlike the mobile apps, where lineup and formation are separate steps, Coach Base shows them together on one screen - so you can see the formation update as you make changes.

Tap Done to finish the setup.

What's next?​

After tapping Done, you land in the matches overview. Unlike the Coach Amigo app, there's no guided next step - just open the match you just created to continue. For example, to use the Attendance request center, open the match and navigate from there.
