Getting started
To your first tracked match in minutes — explained step by step.
Here's how you get from an empty account to your first match on the sideline. Takes about 15 minutes.
1. Create an account
Go to app.sportsflow.de/login and sign up.
- With email and password — always works.
- With Google or Apple — if your club uses that.
After that, SportsFlow asks whether you're already on a team.
New: guided onboarding
After signing up, SportsFlow walks you through a few short steps: goals (what you want to use the app for), your role (staff or player), when creating a team also the tracking depth (a preset, changeable anytime), and at the end invite your team — Copy code for just the join code, Share invitation for a ready-made text with code and link by WhatsApp or email. The steps below walk through the same path in detail, in case you skip something or want to catch up later.
Launch offer
Teams created by 31 Dec 2026 get the Team plan free until 30 June 2027 — after that, a permanent 30% discount on the season pass. No discount code needed, it's automatic. Details: Billing.
2. Create or join a team
Create a new team
- Choose Create team.
- Enter a name, e.g. "SG Musterstadt Men's 1".
- Choose Handball (best supported).
You're automatically staff and can manage everything.
Join a team
- Ask your coach for the join code (8 characters).
- Enter it — done.
- Optional: "Remember selection", so you land directly on this team from now on.
Alternatively, you get an invite by email.
Shortcut: schedule import
Playing in a league? During onboarding (or under Settings → Import) you connect your team to handball.net or Handball4All — you then take over season, schedule, results, and roster with one click. That lets you skip steps 3–5. Details: Schedule import.
3. Create a season
Go to Settings → Seasons → New season.
- Name, e.g. "2025/26"
- Start and end of your playing period
This keeps matches cleanly assigned to a season — handy for the analysis at the end.
4. Enter the roster
Under Roster → Create player you add your players.
| What | Do you need it? | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | Enough to start tracking |
| Jersey number | No | Saves time on the sideline |
| Position | No | Helps with stats later |
Players who leave get archived — old matches stay correct either way.
5. Create your first match
Matches → Create match
- Opponent, date, venue
- Home or away
- Assign a season (required) — you can't create a match without one
6. Start tracking
- Open the match → Start tracking (staff only).
- Tap an action — SportsFlow asks, one at a time, for what it needs (player, court, goal …).
- Everything lands in the history: on wide screens, in quick analysis on the right, on your phone in the History tab.
