U18 teenage athletes can now be given permission to view their schedules, rosters, team and player information, coach notes and announcements, and submit RSVPs, directly within LeagueApps Play! This will be coming soon to the branded apps.
It is fully SafeSport compliant, ensuring the protection of your organization and families, while allowing athletes to be more independent. While athletes cannot yet respond through chat, they will soon be able to, with messages sent only when their parent or guardian is included.

Step 1: Turn on athlete access setting
In your LeagueApps Management Console, go to Settings, and then Site Settings. Scroll down to the Enable youth athlete access to the mobile app setting, and switch it On. Select the Athlete Age, and then save by clicking the Update Basic Details button.
Step 2: Parents can invite their eligible athletes
Using the LeagueApps messaging tools, or your preferred communication solution, let your parents know that they can now edit their child(ren)’s mobile access permissions in their member dashboard and Play app.
To access in the Play app, go to the Profile icon, and click the Manage & Pay button.
Parents are able to:
- Resend invitations or copy link
- Access the mobile access page
The different statuses of mobile access:
- Pending : Invitation sent but athlete did not sign up.
- Joined : Athlete signed up and has mobile access.
- Not Eligible : Athlete is not able to have mobile access due to admin settings (it’s off or not age appropriate).
Parents can click the Edit mobile app access link so they can assign permissions, accept terms and conditions, and save changes.
Once the parent clicks the Save changes button, athletes with permissions will receive an email inviting them to join the app, and the parent will also see this screen so they can share the link directly with their athlete(s).
Step 3: Athletes create account, sign in, and download app
The athletes with permissions will receive an email like the one below, where they can join the app by clicking that button.
This will direct the athlete to this account creation screen, where the athlete must accept terms and conditions as well.
Once the athlete creates their account, they MUST sign in on the next screen, so that they can download and sign into the app.
Once the athlete signs in, they will receive a confirmation screen where they can download and then sign into the app.
