Guide

Start with the job you need done.

BenchVoice works best as a compact basketball loop: capture the team game, grow the MyPlayer record, make shooting progress visible, and use Community when the work needs a scoreboard.

Fast start

Create or open the team/player first. Use the in-app Guide only when setup, live capture, MyPlayer, Community, sharing, export, or metric questions need a direct answer.

Quick Start Loop

  1. Choose the job for this session

    Start from the lane that matches what you are doing now: Team Game for live tracking, MyPlayer for personal development, Shooting for reps, Community for comparison, or Shared Team Access for the team update.

  2. Create the team or player record

    Add the roster, open the active team, or create/select the player profile before logging games, workouts, shooting sessions, goals, or progress.

  3. Run the live game

    Use the game surface for score, fouls, substitutions, lineups, shot locations, timeouts, event history, and corrections while the game is happening.

  4. Publish or share the official update

    After the game, the team operator decides what to share. Shared Team Access gives players, parents, assistants, and family viewers the team update.

  5. Review the evidence

    Use analytics, reports, shot charts, lineup context, and exports to understand what changed and what needs attention next.

  6. Keep player work moving

    Use MyPlayer and Shooting for workouts, goals, focused sessions, awards, weekly progression, and Community-ready progress between games.

  7. Check the Community Dashboard

    Use Community leaderboards, tiers, percentile, category charts, and weekly movement to see where your player work stands.

Use It by Role

Coach or stat keeper

Create/open a team, confirm the roster, then start Live Game.

  • Track score, fouls, substitutions, lineups, shot locations, and timeouts live.
  • Use undo/corrections instead of re-entering the game after the buzzer.
  • Review team analytics, export reports, and publish the coach-controlled update.

Player

Open MyPlayer, select your profile, and choose the next activity.

  • Log workouts, goals, focused game context, and development activity.
  • Start Shooting when you want a session scorecard, zone read, or progression credit.
  • Use trends, awards, and Community comparison as signals for what to work on next.

Parent or shared viewer

Open Shared Team Access from the link sent by the coach.

  • View the coach-published team record without paying for coach tools.
  • Use the shared view as the official update, not as an editable team workspace.
  • Ask the coach to republish if the shared team view looks stale.

Trainer

Use MyPlayer and Shooting before treating game stats as the full story.

  • Track player-owned workouts, shooting zones, progression, and awards.
  • Connect individual work to game evidence when the coach has shared context.
  • Use exports and support paths when moving data between workflows.
