Link a Player to Your Account

Once you're part of your club on PlayerKit, connect yourself to your own child so you can see their gear, schedule, and everything else tied to their profile.

Before you start: you'll need a PlayerKit account already connected to your club. New to PlayerKit? See Join a Club first.

TWO WAYS TO CONNECT

Using a link from your club

If your club sends you a link addressed to your specific child, it's the fastest path:

Step 1

Open the link. It shows “You've been invited to connect with [child's name]”.

Step 2

Sign in if you're not already, or create an account if this is your first time.

Step 3

Optionally set how you're related (e.g. Mom, Dad, Guardian), then click Accept invitation.

Step 4

You're either connected right away, or your request is sent to the team admin for a quick review — either way you'll see a confirmation.

OR

Entering a player code yourself

Every player has a short code — printed under the QR code on their player card — that looks like pl-XXXX-XXXX. If you have that instead of a link:

Step 1

From your account, go to Connect to a player.

Step 2

Enter the code exactly as printed, and optionally how you're related to the player.

Step 3

Click Send request. Unlike a club-sent link, this path always goes to the team admin for review first — you'll be notified once it's approved.

Your child isn't showing up, or the code doesn't work? That means they haven't been added to a roster yet — that's a step your club takes, not something you can fix from your side. Ask your club to add your child, then try again.

More than one guardian can connect to the same player. If both parents (or any other guardians) each have their own PlayerKit account, each one connects independently — connecting doesn't remove or affect anyone already linked.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Troubleshooting

"This invitation link is no longer valid."

The link expired or was already used. Ask your club to send a new one.

The sideline invitation page showing This invitation link is no longer valid, ask the club to send a new one

An expired or already-used sideline invitation link

"No player found with that code."

Double-check you typed the code exactly as printed (it starts with pl-). If you're sure it's right, your club likely hasn't added your child to their roster yet — ask them to add your child first, then try again.

"You're already connected to this player."

Nothing else to do — you're already linked. Check your account to confirm you can see the player.

"You already have a pending request for this player."

Your earlier request is still waiting on your club's review. No need to submit again — you'll be notified once it's approved.
