Requests vs. bookings

A request isn't a roster spot until the parent says yes

Awaiting parent

You've asked. The player is not on your roster yet, so keep looking if you're on a deadline.

Confirmed by parent

The parent accepted. The player is booked for your team that weekend and you both get contact info.

Message while you wait

Ask the parent questions in GuestBall. We email you the moment they answer.

No double bookings

A player can be confirmed with only one team per weekend, enforced by the system.

The coach board

Post it once, let families come to you

List the tournament, weekend, city, age group, level and positions you need. Parents with a fit send you a note with their player's profile attached, and you get their contact info to follow up.

From your post, one tap shows every player who's open that weekend and will travel to that city.

Verification

Why we verify every coach

The profiles are of kids, so no one sees them until a person on our team confirms you're a real coach. When you sign up we'll ask for:

Your team

Team name, and your league or organization.

A way to confirm

A team website or GameChanger page that lists you, a league contact, or a reference.

Your word

That you'll communicate only with parents and follow your league's safety and guest-player rules.

Most coaches are verified within a day.

Coach questions
Why do I need to be verified?

Because the profiles are of kids. Before you can see any player, someone on our team confirms you're a real coach using your team website or GameChanger page, your league, or a reference. It usually takes about a day.

Who handles guest player rules?

You do. Tournaments and organizations have their own guest player rules. USSSA, for example, allows a limited number of guests per event and requires a guest player application before the event. Make sure your team follows them.

When is a player actually on my roster?

Only when the request shows Confirmed by parent. Until then it's a request. We email you as soon as the parent answers, and you can message them in the meantime.

Can I message a player directly?

No. In-app messages go to the parent or guardian only. That's a GuestBall rule, and it's best practice in youth sports.

What's the coach board?

Post what you need for a tournament: age group, level, positions, weekend and city. Parents with a fit can reach out to you.
