# What is the coach portal?

> A tablet-first app for coaches to run their day — find classes, take attendance, and manage rosters.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * The coach portal has its own web address. If you're signed out, you're sent to the main login page and returned here once you sign in.
  * If you also work in the admin dashboard, jump over from your account menu there — click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and choose **Coach**.
  * It shows **one club at a time** — the same club you last selected in the admin dashboard. Use the organization switcher at the top of the sidebar to change it.
  * You need coach access to open it. Your club grants this to the **Coach** role by default; if the portal won't load, ask an admin to check your role.
  * The **Evaluations** and **Time Clock** tabs only appear when your club has those features turned on.
</Note>

The coach portal is where you run classes: take attendance from an in-session roster, score evaluations, message families, and look up athlete profiles. It's built for a tablet at the gym but works on a phone too.

On a tablet or computer, the left sidebar holds your destinations: **Dashboard**, **Chat**, **Athletes**, **Programs**, plus **Evaluations** and **Time Clock** when enabled. On a phone, a bar across the bottom gives you the five you reach for most — **Home**, **Chat**, **Programs**, **Athletes**, and **Evals** — with a **More** button for the rest, the club switcher, and sign out.

Start on the **Dashboard** to see what's happening today, or open **Programs** to browse and search every session.
