Frequently asked questions

I need to add another “guardian” to our SportsEngine team so they can see my player’s schedule. How do I do that?

First the new person needs to have a SportsEngine account. If they don’t, they can go to this article. It tells them how to create a SportsEngine account. https://help.sportsengine.com/en/articles/6304287-how-to-create-an-account

Once they do that, you go in and add them as a "guardian.” You go into the settings for your account on the SE app (lower right corner). Then click on your name under “household information.” Then tap the pencil icon in the lower right corner. From there you can "add guardian."
