Frequently Asked Questions 

Is Coach Companion really free?

Yes, for any coach with a free Smoothcomp account, on iPhone and Android. Notes are the one part that needs your academy connected to Gymdesk, because that's where they land.

Do I need a Gymdesk account?

No. You sign in with your Smoothcomp account, and everything except notes works without Gymdesk.

Which tournaments does it work with?

Every event running on Smoothcomp. Events on other platforms, including your own in-house showcases, won't appear.

Who can be on my crew for the day?

Anyone with a free Smoothcomp account, including assistants and parents. They don't need a Gymdesk account.

Does it work for sports other than BJJ?

Yes. It works at any event running on Smoothcomp, whatever the sport, and coverage is strongest in BJJ and grappling.

What changes if my gym runs on Gymdesk?

Notes you write in the app land on each member's record in Gymdesk, alongside their competition results. Both need your academy connected once.
