How to Invite, Add, or Copy Players as a Coach/Captain

Many organizations need their staff (coaches, directors) or team captains to be able to invite or add players to their teams, or copy players from previous teams to their current team. Participants who register or are assigned a Staff Role within a program have certain built-in functions on their team profiles.

This article will walk you through how a staff member (Coach or other defined Staff Role) and team captains can invite players, add players, or copy players directly to their teams.
