GameChanger Team Manager App Overview - Coaches

Thank you for coaching with us this Spring! Recognizing the importance youth soccer provides our families and community – especially during these uncertain times – Loudoun Soccer is committed to creating a safe environment for all of our members.

We are excited to announce our usage this season of the Dick's GameChanger Team Manager app, a free software designed primarily to display schedules, track and attendance, and communicate updates, which also features a Health Tracker questionnaire to be used for families to screen their child before attending a scheduled event.

For our Rec teams this season, we will no longer be utilizing the Pre-Play Questionnaire Google Survey and Database system from the Fall season.

Please see below regarding important information on utilizing this App, and some common scenarios you may encounter.

Access, View, or Edit Your Roster

Click on “Team” to view all of the players on your roster.

Your team’s roster should import but you may need to complete some steps manually in the event you need to re-invite individuals or add new players.

To re-invite a family to join:

Families are automatically notified to download the app and accept your invitation to join once you create your team’s account and import its roster. However, that invitation may end up in their junk or spam folder, or missed entirely.

Coaches can re-send the invitation from the following steps:

1. 
Click on the name of the family member with the “clock” icon next to it.

2. 
Locate the name(s) of the family member who needs the invitation resent – look for the clock icon and touch their name.

3. Click the “resend invite” link.

To add a player who didn’t import cleanly, or has joined your team since creating your account.

1. Verify this player is on your official roster. Log-in to your Sports Connect account to visit your Team Page. REMEMBER: your Team Page roster is your official team roster. Only players on your Team Page should be in your GameChanger Team Manager app, and are allowed to play and practice.

2. 
Follow the directions in this help desk article.

To edit an existing player or staff member with new info (phone, email, etc.): read this article.

To add a new Staff member (assistant coach, etc.): read this article.

REMEMBER: only team staff members on your Team Page are considered official coaches (passed a background check and assigned to your team). DO NOT add a staff member to your account unless they appear on your Team Page.

View and Update Your Schedule

Schedules (practices and games) should automatically import when you create your account, and update when/if changes occur or events are added by Loudoun Soccer.

SAVE THE DATE: Rec 1, Challenge 2, Classic, and HS 7v7 teams will play in an end-of-season event on June 5. More details to come.

REMEMBER: your official team schedule is listed on your Team Page in Sports Connect. Be sure to review your Team Page schedule with your app schedule to ensure families have an accurate schedule, and remind families to review the Team Page for the official schedule.

To sync your schedules, complete the following 5-step process:

1. open the app and select your team
2. click the "gear" icon in the top right corner
3. select Schedule Sync from the available menu
4. choose Re-Import Team Schedule listed under Sports Connect
5. touch the Confirm & Re-Import button

The process may take a few minutes to repeat, and should push these changes to parent or fan accounts associated with your team.

Read this article in the event you wish to manually create events in your GameChanger Team Manager schedule.

In the event your team’s GameChanger app is experiencing schedule syncing issues, 
notify your Program Manager (Pre-School-Grades 2: [email protected]; Grades 3-12: [email protected]) so they can contact GameChanger support on your behalf to expedite a resolution.

Messages: Automatic Reminders and Chat Feature

Reminder Messages:

Prior to each event, an automatically generated email will be sent to all team members. This reminder message can be turned off, or changed to be sent one, two, or three days prior to each event.

2. locate the "edit" button underneath the Staff/Family RSVP.
