How to Create a BallersBook Account

Intro

Whether you are a coach, club administrator, or parent, you need a BallersBook account to manage drills, sessions, and players. If you are exploring the app as a guest - using the public Drill Library or the AI Draw Tool - you can later upgrade that anonymous session to a permanent account. This guide covers both paths: registering directly from the signup page and converting a guest session into a full user account.

Prerequisites

• A valid email address you can access
• A strong password (at least 8 characters, with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols)
• Internet connection and a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• If upgrading from a guest session: you must already be on the app as an anonymous user (e.g., you visited /library or /draw)

Step-by-Step

Create a New Account Directly

1. Navigate to the Register page at /register. You can also click Get Started or Sign Up from the home page.

2. Enter your Email address and a Password in the provided fields.

3. Select your role from the Role dropdown. For example, choose Coach if you will manage drills and sessions.

4. Fill in your club details. This includes your Club Name, Club Address, and other required information. You can update these later from the club settings.

5. Click Create Account (or Register). A confirmation email will be sent to your inbox.

6. Verify your email by clicking the link in that message. Your account is now active and you can log in at /login.

💡 Tip: Verification is required to access all authenticated features. If you do not see the email, check your spam folder.

Upgrade an Anonymous Guest Session to a Permanent Account

If you started using BallersBook as a guest (e.g., browsing the Drill Library or testing the AI Draw Tool), you can keep your work and secure it by creating a permanent account.

1. While using the app as a guest, navigate to the Sign Up or Register option. This is typically shown in the navigation bar or prompted when you try to save a drill or perform an action that requires a full account.

2. Click the Sign Up button. The signup modal or page will appear.

3. Enter your Email, Password, and other required details (club name, role, etc.). Use the same email address you intend to verify later.

4. Click Create Account (or Register). The app will link your anonymous guest session to your new account. Your guest data - such as any drills you created using the Draw Tool - will be preserved under your new account.

5. Check your email and click the verification link to confirm ownership of the address.

⚠️ Warning: You must complete email verification within 7 days. Unverified accounts may lose access to certain features.

Tips & Pitfalls

• Use a club email if you are registering as a club manager. This makes it easier to manage invites and billing.
• If you already have an account and try to register again with the same email, you will be redirected to the Login page.
• Guest sessions have a daily limit on AI generations (default 3). Upgrading removes that limit and unlocks unlimited use of the Draw Tool and Drill Library.
• If you are a parent (role: parent), you may skip club details - the club will be associated via your child’s player registration.

Summary

You can create a BallersBook account either by going directly to the /register page or by upgrading an anonymous guest session through the same registration flow. In both cases, you will enter an email, password, role, and club information. Verifying your email completes the setup. Once registered, you can create drills, plan sessions, and manage your club’s roster. Next, explore the Drill Library to start building your training repository.
