# Add assistants

> Bring assistant coaches onto your team and split the roster load

# Add assistants

From Pro Coach up, you can bring assistant coaches onto your team to share the roster load. Each assistant gets their own login, their own book of athletes, and whatever powers you delegate to them. You manage the team itself from your [team page](https://coach.saturday.fit/dashboard/team).

## Assistants included with each plan

| Plan         | Assistants included |
| ------------ | ------------------- |
| Coach (free) | None                |
| Pro Coach    | 1                   |
| Head Coach   | 5                   |
| Business     | Unlimited           |
| Enterprise   | Unlimited           |

Reaching the included count is not a wall. On Pro Coach and Head Coach you can buy additional assistant seats at \$10 per seat per month, and they stack on top of the included allotment, so a Pro Coach with three purchased seats can hold four assistants without changing plan. The portal offers the seat inline when you hit the cap. Business and Enterprise have no assistant cap, so the seat add-on does not apply to them.

<Note>
  **A separate limit governs Business organizations.** A Business org's total coach seats are capped by a fair-use ceiling of 20 coaches, or one coach per five coach-paid athletes, whichever is higher. That ceiling counts coaches across the org, not assistants under one head coach.
</Note>

## Invite an assistant

From your [team page](https://coach.saturday.fit/dashboard/team), or **Settings → Team**, choose **Invite assistant** and enter their email. When they accept and activate, they appear on your team and can be assigned athletes.

Once an assistant activates, they can read your whole roster, and assigning athletes to them records which ones they own. See [Assign athletes](/coaching/team/assign-athletes) for what assignment does and does not control.

## What an assistant can do

By default an assistant can coach the athletes assigned to them: view fueling data, read AI reports, and message the athlete. What an assistant cannot do by default:

* Adjust an athlete's Setup. That is its own grant, separate from general athlete access, so an assistant can read and act on an athlete without being able to re-dial their fueling.
* End an org-paid coverage arrangement. That is a money action reserved for the head coach or org owner, and it has its own toggle.
* Manage billing or the team itself.

## Manage your team

| Action                    | What it does                        |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Resend invite             | Re-send a pending assistant invite  |
| Remove assistant          | Take an assistant off the team      |
| Assign athletes or groups | Give an assistant a roster to coach |

Removing an assistant asks for confirmation and then offers an undo.

Roles and per-assistant grants are set separately, on the [Access & Roles](https://coach.saturday.fit/admin/rbac) page. See [Permissions](/coaching/team/permissions).
