A Quickstart Guide

Welcome to CrewLAB. Whether you’re a coach building a team, an admin adding payments and registration, an athlete joining a program, or a parent supporting your child — this guide gets you oriented and pointed in the right direction.

Create Your Account

Download the CrewLAB app from the App Store or Google Play, or sign up at app.crewlab.io. You’ll need an email address to get started. Once you’re in, complete your profile — name, photo, and contact info. This information is visible to your team, so make it real.

Tip: If you’ve been invited to join an existing team, tap the invite link first. It will walk you through account creation and automatically connect you to the right group.

Understand the CrewLAB Hierarchy

CrewLAB is built around teams and organizations:

Teams are where the daily action happens. A team is a group of athletes and coaches — it has workouts, video, messaging, calendar, check-ins, and everything your coaching staff uses to run training. Anyone can create a team: a coach, a captain, even an athlete organizing informal training.

Organizations sit above teams and tie them together. An organization adds the business layer — payments, registration, waivers, compliance, and reporting — and connects all of your club’s teams under one roof so everyone shares communication channels and SafeSport compliance oversight. A rowing club, for example, might have a varsity team, a novice team, and a masters team all linked under one organization.

You don’t need an organization to use CrewLAB. Many teams run on CrewLAB for months or years using only the coaching tools. When you’re ready to add the business layer, book a time with us and we’ll get your organization set up.
