STAY IN THE LOOP WITH YOUR TEAM SCHEDULE
Team schedules are managed by the team managers, so if you’re unable to access your athlete’s schedule, you may need to request that your manager add you to the list. In SportsEngine, you can view the schedule in real time, send messages, and manage your athlete and family information. Don’t forget—it's important to RSVP to every practice, game, and event on your athlete's behalf. This helps coaches plan practices and manage events smoothly. Make sure you stay up-to-date and connected with your team!
