Assign athletes

Assigning is how you split a big roster across your team, so each assistant coach has a clear book of athletes they own.

​
Three ways to assign

  • One athlete. On athlete-detail or your roster, set the assigned assistant.
  • In bulk. Multi-select athletes on your roster, choose Assign to assistant, and pick the assistant.
  • By group. Assign an entire group to an assistant in one move from your roster.

​
What assignment does, and what it does not do

Assignment sets ownership: which assistant is responsible for that athlete. It drives the assigned-assistant chip on the roster, the per-coach load figures in the team roll-up, and which athletes land in that assistant’s own book. Assignment is not what first grants an assistant read access.
An activated assistant can already see your whole roster, read-only, before you assign them anything. When an assistant accepts their invite and activates, Saturday adds them to every active athlete relationship you hold, so they can open any athlete on your roster and read that athlete’s fueling data. Assigning athletes narrows nothing on its own; it records who owns whom. Unassigning an athlete does remove that assistant’s access to that athlete’s detail.If you need an assistant who genuinely cannot see the rest of your roster, that is a role and permission question, not an assignment question. See Permissions.

​
What an assigned assistant sees

An assistant working an athlete they own gets the coaching surface their role permits: fueling history, flags, the AI report, messaging, and Adjust Setup if you have granted Setup-edit access. Adjusting an athlete’s Setup is a separate grant that an assistant does not hold by default.

​
Reassigning and unassigning

Reassign an athlete to a different assistant at any time, or unassign to pull them back to yourself. Reassignment takes effect immediately and changes nothing about the athlete: their data, history, and Setup are untouched, only the owning coach changes. Do this from your roster.

​
Head coach visibility

As head coach or org owner you keep visibility of the whole roster regardless of assignment. Assigning to an assistant adds their ownership; it never removes yours.
