Coach walkthrough

1. Register a gym

Who: Unattached coaches only. If you already joined or registered a gym, you will not see Register Gym — you’re already affiliated. Join a gym instead from the Team tab if you want to belong to someone else’s gym.

What it does: Puts the gym on the map and in search. You become head coach and gym admin. Fighters already on your unattached My Team move to this gym. After this, you can create a Show or Tournament (not only a Sparring Event).

1. 01Sign up as Coach (you start Unattached).
2. 02Open Profile → Edit. Under gym, it says Unattached. Tap Register Gym. Alternate: Home → Gyms tab → Register Gym (same screen; only shows if you’re an unattached coach).
3. 03Screen title: Register Gym. Header: Gym Information — “Register your gym to start managing your team.”
4. 04Fill Gym Name * (must be unique; “A gym with this name already exists” if taken. At least 2 characters.), Address * (autocomplete; you can paste a full line like Houston TX 77087 and it fills State and Zip), Apt / Suite / Unit (optional), City *, State *, Zip, Phone Number * (10 digits), Email (Optional).
5. 05Optional: Confirm Location — opens Maps so you can check the pin. The app also saves coordinates when you submit.
6. 06Tap Register Gym. Wait for “Registering gym...”
7. 07Success: “Gym registered successfully!” You return to the app. Team becomes My Gym. Your role is head coach.

You only register a gym once. To change the address later, edit it in My Gym (listed gym admin). To join an existing gym instead of creating one: Team → Join Team — do not register a second gym with the same name.

After you register, you can put on a Show or Tournament. Unattached coaches can still post community flyers and create a Sparring Event without a gym.

If the address cannot be verified, My Gym shows a banner: the gym stays off the Gyms & events map until you update the street address in My Gym.

2. In-app event vs community flyer

These are two different posts. The app asks you to pick when you tap Post. Sheet title: What do you want to post? Sheet subtitle: Choose how this event should appear on Boxing Network.

You can do both later: post a flyer to spread the word, then create the in-app event and link the flyer so visitors open the official event (“Community flyer linked. Visitors will open this official event.”). Do not tell people they must do both.

Start matchmaking is a third thing: a private pairing session you can Promote to event. It is not a community flyer.

3. How to post a community flyer

Who: Coaches and officials.

1. 01Home → Events.
2. 02Tap Post (next to See all on the local/community row).
3. 03If you can also create in-app events, a sheet appears: What do you want to post?
4. 04Tap Community flyer — Local events board.
5. 05Screen title: Post community flyer.
6. 06Fill Event title *, Starts *, optional multi-day end date, Venue / address (optional), City * and State * (required before you can add files), Add flyer image (the poster), Add bout sheet (PDF or image; on multi-day, pick which day the sheet is for).
7. 07Top right: Post.
8. 08Success: “Posted.” It shows on Home, the local events board, and the map as a community flyer.

People can comment and follow for alerts. There is no Register button for fighters. Put outside registration links in the comments if you have them.

To edit: open the flyer → Edit flyer (coaches and officials). You cannot edit a flyer after it is linked/merged to an official in-app event.

4. How to create an in-app event

Screen title: Create Event.

1. 01Event Type → Select Event Type: Sparring Event; Show (if you have a gym); Tournament (if you have a gym; must be multi-day, end date after start).
2. 02Event Name.
3. 03Venue: address autocomplete, city, state, zip, optional unit. Confirm the map pin when the address is complete.
4. 04Dates, doors-open time, optional registration window and fees, description, concessions.
5. 05Eligibility if you need it (state, sex, age, novice/open, invite-only).
6. 06Shows: optional toggle for outside coach challenges.
7. 07Optional: How people pay you — Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal. Boxing Network does not collect that money.
8. 08Optional: Event flyer (optional) — pick an image, then Position your event flyer. This is the cover on listings and event details. It is not a community flyer.
9. 09Tap Submit (the button says Next until a type is selected).

Success: “Sparring/Show/Tournament event created successfully!” If the cover image fails: “event created. Flyer upload failed — add it from the event admin screen.”

You land in event admin (bout sheet, registered fighters, matchmaking, brackets, Go live). Coaches register fighters from the roster. Fighters do not self-register.

Home filter In-app is where these events appear, separate from community flyers.
