Team Search: Requesting and Approving Membership

Family, players, and fans are able to search the GameChanger database for existing teams to join! They can request access to a team through this feature, and once their request has been approved, the team will be added to their account. Team Staff will not be able to request membership through the search and will instead need to be added by the current Team Staff.

Requesting Membership (Family/Players/Fans)

1. Tap the search icon in the top left of the Teams tab in the app
2. Begin typing your team’s name. You can use the "Sport", "Season" and "Location" filters to narrow your search
3. Select the correct version of the team
4. Tap the Join Team button
5. Specify if you are a parent, player, or fan
6. Choose the correct player profile from the roster if joining as a parent or player
7. Until your request is approved, your status will be listed as Pending, and you will have Fan level access to the team 

If you are already connected to the team as a fan, you can still request family membership by following the steps below. You will continue to have fan-level access until your request is approved. 

1. Go to the Teams tab and select the team your player is on
2. Tap on the Team section
3. Choose your player
