Claim Player Invitations (Team Manager)

If you are a Player Manager, looking to claim your player(s), please check out our Claiming Your Player (Player Manager) article.

If you are a Team Manager, continue below.

As a Team Manager, you have two methods to invite your team's parents to claim their players! 

1. Claim your Player Invite Link
2. Invitation by Phone Number

Parents also have the option to claim their player directly from the team roster. In this instance, you will need to approve the claim request. To learn how to do this follow the steps under Approve Claim Request in this article. 

Claim Your Player Invite Link

The Claim your Player Invite Link is the quickest and easiest way to help your parents claim their players! Just share a Claim your Player Invite link with your team parents once your team is set up! This is the quickest and easiest way for your team's parents to claim their players!

With the Claim your Player Invite link, a Team Manager shares a unique Claim Your Player link (or QR Code). Parents/guardians can then use that link to instantly claim their player!

⚠️ Please note, there is no approval process with this method. So only share the link with trusted team parents/guardians.

Once a player has been claimed, two additional parent/guardians can still claim this player! To do so, the first Player Manager will need to Add additional Player Managers, or they can be invited by the team manager.

After creating your roster or at anytime

1. Go to the Roster tab
2. Select Invite Player Managers at the top of the roster
3. Share the link:
   • Select the full box that has the link to copy it.
   • Select the ↗ Share icon to copy or share the link out using your devices native share sheet
   • Screenshot the QR code 
4. Send the link or QR code to your team's parents in your team chat.

That’s it. Parents can claim immediately. (This link should only be sent to parents, as there is no approval process by the team manager required.) 

Invitation by Phone Number:

Team Managers can directly invite parents to manage a player — even if the player is already claimed.
