Some organizations allow or require coaches or team captains to invite, add or copy players to their current team. These permissions are defined by the program organizers, so if you do not see these options for your team it is likely a deliberate choice by the organizers. This article will walk you through how a staff member and team captains can invite players, add players, or copy players directly to their teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
My team captains or coaches aren't seeing any of these options.
Check your Staff Role Settings and program Registration Options. Your site has settings that govern what program staff can and cannot do. In addition, each program has its own rules as well. See below for more details:
When I try to add a player, I get an error that they already exist.
This means that player already has account in LeagueApps. You will need to invite them to the team instead.
Some of my players are saying they didn't get the email invitation. How can they sign up?
- If the players already have an account, they can also accept their team invite from their member dashboard. Have them log into their account accept the invite.
- If that doesn't work, have them check their spam folders and add mailer@leagueapps.com to ensure they are getting emails from LeagueApps. You can also resend the invite via your team page.
