Coach's Guide

1 Signing in

PFA Engine is invite-only — PFA adds your email ahead of time, so you just sign in with it.

1. Go to pfaengine.com in any browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.).
2. Click Continue with Google and choose the Google account on the email PFA invited.
3. That's it — you're in. The next time you visit, it usually remembers you.

2 Finding your way around

Once you're in, there are four tabs along the top. That's the whole app.

• Rentals— book a cage (or bullpen / weight room) and review the ones you've booked.
• Work Log — log the hours you worked, or confirm hours that were already on your schedule.
• Attendance — check off which athletes showed up to a session.
• Schedule — see your week at a glance: your work blocks and your cage rentals together.

3 Booking a cage rental

This is the calendar where you reserve a cage. Open slots are free to grab; red ones are already taken.

1. Click the Rentals tab, then Log a cage rental (or the Log rental button).
2. Use the day arrows or the Today button to land on the day you want.
3. You'll see a grid: each row is a resource (Cage 1, Bullpen, Weight Room…) and each column is a 30-minute time slot.
4. Tap an open slot. A bar appears at the top of the screen showing what you picked.
5. Click Schedule. A booking window opens.
6. Pick how long you need — 30 min, 1 hr, or a custom length (only up to the next taken slot). Add a note if you like.
7. Click Schedule to confirm. Your slot turns yellow— that means it's yours.

Booking several slots at once

• Click Select multiple slots, then tap each open slot you want in the same row.
• When you've got them all, click Schedule to book them together.

4 Checking your schedule

One screen that shows your whole week — both the work PFA has you scheduled for and the cages you've booked.

1. Click the Schedule tab.
2. You'll see the week laid out — days across the top, times down the side. Your work blocks and your rentals both show up here.
3. Use the arrows to move to last week or next week. (On your phone it shows as a simple day-by-day list.)

5 Logging your work hours

This is how PFA knows the hours you worked so you get paid for them. There are two easy ways.

The fast way — confirm what was scheduled

1. Click the Work Log tab (you'll land on Log work).
2. At the top you'll see your recent scheduled blocks that haven't been logged yet. Each shows the program and the time.
3. For one that happened, just tap to confirm it — it's logged in one click.

The manual way — log hours yourself

1. In the Log work tab, scroll to Log your hours.
2. Pick the program, set the start and end time, add a note if needed.
3. Submit. Done.

6 Taking attendance

Check off who showed up to a session in a few taps.

1. Click the Attendance tab.
2. Pick the program and the date at the top.
3. A checklist of the athletes in that program appears. Check the ones who were there.
4. Submit to save it.

7 Seeing what you owe PFA

Your home screen shows a running total of what you owe PFA for the cages you've rented.

• On the Rentals home screen, look for the card "What you owe PFA — cage rentals."
• It shows your total rentals billed and any payments PFA has recorded — so the balance is always current.

8 Fixing or canceling a rental

Booked the wrong slot or need to change a note? Your rentals are easy to manage.

1. On the Rentals home screen, click My rentals to see your history.
2. Find the rental. Use the pencil to edit it, or the trash to remove an upcoming one.
