How to set your sport in Onform, the tools that work for every sport, and quick tips. Works on: iPhone, iPad, Android and web. Some tools, such as Multi-Cam, Sport-Radar and the angle tool, are on iPhone and iPad only. Onform works for any sport where you can film a movement and coach it. Coaches use it for swimming, tennis, bowling, ice hockey, gymnastics, volleyball, dance, weightlifting, fly fishing and well over a hundred more. If your sport doesn't have its own hub, this page is for you, and everything in **Coaching**, **Programs and teams** and **Athletes and parents** applies to you too. ## Set your sport Your sport sets the words Onform uses, such as Golfer or Swimmer, the starter tags it suggests, and which sport-specific tools you see. {% tabs %} {% tab title="iPhone and iPad" %} 1. On the Home screen, tap your profile icon, then **Edit Profile**. 2. Tap **Primary Sport** and search for your sport. 3. Tap it. If it isn't in the list, type its name and tap **Select your sport as** followed by the name. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Android and web" %} 1. On the Home screen, tap your profile icon. 2. Tap **Select Sport** and choose your sport. If your sport isn't in the list, pick the closest one and email to ask us to add yours. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} Each team and athlete workspace also has its own sport, which you choose when you create it. If you coach more than one sport, set each team to its own sport.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.onform.com/sports/every-sport/readme.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
