Install the app, create an account, enter your organization code, add players, assign to leagues, and explore the calendar, teams, chat, and settings. A complete walkthrough for parents signing up for HuddleUp Sports for the first time. ## Install the App HuddleUp Welcome screen Download **HuddleUp Sports** from the [iOS App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/huddleup-sports/id6752121332) or [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.huddleup.app). You can also use the [web app](https://app.huddleup-sports.com) from any browser. ## Create Your Account Open the app and sign up using one of these options: * **Continue with Google** — Use your Google account * **Continue with Apple** — Use your Apple ID * **Continue with Email** — Sign up with any email address Remember which sign-in method you choose — you'll need to use the same one each time you log in. Signing in with a different method creates a new account. ## Join Your Organization Welcome screen with Have a Code and Create New Org options Your child's league or club has already set up an organization on HuddleUp. There are three ways to join: 1. **Invite code** — Your league shared a code (via email, text, or handout). Tap **"Have a Code?"** on the welcome screen 2. **Invite link** — Tap a link shared by your league admin and the app opens directly to the join screen 3. **Search** — Browse for your organization by name from the Teams tab Most parents will use an invite code — it's the fastest way in. ## Enter the Code Join Organization code entry screen Type in the organization code provided by your league, then tap **"Join Organization"**. There are three types of codes, each with different permission levels: * **`JOIN-XXXX`** — For **parents**. Lets you add players, view schedules, RSVP, and chat with your team. * **`COCH-XXXX`** — For **coaches**. Includes everything parents get, plus the ability to manage teams, create events, and message families. * **`ADMN-XXXX`** — For **organization administrators**. Full access to manage leagues, teams, rosters, and organization settings. Your league admin or coach should have shared your code via email, text, or a printed handout. If you don't have one, reach out to your league coordinator. ## Add Your Players Add a Player form with name, gender, color, and birthday fields Now you'll add your children to HuddleUp: 1. Enter your child's **first name** and **last name** 2. Select **Male** or **Female** 3. Choose a **color** for this player (blue, orange, green, purple, or pink) — this color will identify their events on the calendar 4. Enter their **birthday** 5. Tap **Save** After adding a player, you'll see a confirmation: **"Player Added!"** ### Adding Multiple Children If you have another child in sports, tap **"Add Another Player"** and repeat the process. Each child gets their own color so you can tell their schedules apart at a glance. Choose different colors for each child. This makes the family calendar much easier to read when you have overlapping schedules. ## Assign Players to Leagues Player Added confirmation with Add Another Player and Assign to Leagues buttons When you're done adding players, tap **"Assign to Leagues"**. You'll see the leagues and teams available in your organization. ## Select League and Team Assign to Leagues screen showing league and team selection 1. Check the box next to your player's **league** (e.g., Basketball) 2. Select their specific **team** (e.g., 3rd & 4th Grade) 3. Tap **"Assign Player"** Repeat for each child if they're in different leagues or teams. ## Pending Approval Depending on how your league is set up, your player may need admin approval before they're fully on the team: * **Pending** — Your registration has been submitted and the league admin is reviewing it * **Active** — You've been approved. Team events appear on your calendar and you gain access to team chat. You'll receive a push notification when your player is approved. If approval is taking a while, reach out to your league coordinator. Some leagues have open registration with no approval step — in that case, your player is active immediately after assignment. ## Explore the Calendar After setup, you'll land on the **Calendar** tab. This is your home base — every game, practice, and event for all your children appears here, color-coded by player. ### Calendar Views Tap the date range at the top to switch between: * **Next 7 Days** — Focus on this week * **Next 2 Weeks** — Short-term planning view * **Next Month** — See the full month ahead ### Event Details Tap any event to see its full details: * **What** — Event name and type (practice, game, etc.) * **When** — Date and time * **Where** — Venue name and address with a **"Get Directions"** button * **Weather** — Live conditions and game-time forecast for the event location * **RSVP** — Tap **Going**, **Maybe**, or **Can't Go** to let the coach know See [Family Calendar](/docs/families/family-calendar) for more details. ## View Your Teams The **Teams** tab shows: * **My Players** — Your children and which leagues they're in. Tap **"Manage"** to adjust their league or team assignments * **Your Organization** — All leagues and teams your players belong to, with rosters ## Team Chat The **Chats** tab gives each team a dedicated chat channel. This is where you can: * Ask questions to coaches and other parents * Share updates with the team * React to messages by long-pressing on them * Use slash commands like `/carpool`, `/snack`, and `/poll` See [Team Messaging](/docs/coaches/messaging) for the full guide. ## Settings Settings screen showing Family, Calendar Sync, and Customizations The **Settings** tab is where you manage your account: ### Family * Add or edit players * Invite another parent to your family account (see below) ### Calendar Sync * **Google Calendar Sync** — Sync HuddleUp events to Google Calendar * **Apple Calendar Sync** — Sync HuddleUp events to Apple Calendar ### Notifications * **Push Notifications** — Toggle on/off to receive alerts for schedule changes, cancellations, and team messages. See [Notifications](/docs/families/notifications). ### Customizations * **Dark Mode** — Switch between light and dark themes ## Multi-Parent Households Both parents or guardians can use HuddleUp for the same family: 1. The first parent sets up the account and adds players (that's what you just did above) 2. Go to **Settings** > **Family** 3. Tap **Invite Parent** and share the invite link with your co-parent 4. The second parent signs up and joins your family Once connected, both parents: * See the same players and calendar events * Can RSVP independently * Receive their own push notifications * Have access to all team chats *** ## Need Help?
