Guardians are introduced to the USSSA system through an email notification when listed as a player's guardian and they have been added to a roster. This feature allows guardians to oversee player profiles and manage their sports journey within USSSA.
Important: If you are trying to create a guardian account on the login page it will not work as Guardian accounts are created by invitations.
Creating Guardian Accounts:
Receive Notification Email:
The initial step involves receiving an email from USSSA, signifying your role as a guardian. This notification email is sent when you are listed as a guardian and the player has been added to a roster. This email contains essential information and a link to begin the account creation process and is sent when a player has been added to a roster.
The email should look like the following:
"Subject: USSSA Guardian - Access to your player
Dear Parent/Guardian,
You are receiving this email from USSSA because your email address was listed by a coach/manager as the guardian of a player. This is a new feature for USSSA that will allow you to track and manage players in the USSSA system that you are the guardian of.
Player was added to the roster of:
Sport
Team Name
State
Manager
If you ARE the parent/guardian of this child, click on the link below to be directed to a Sign-in page where you will create your Guardian account. If you already have a Guardian account with another child or registered to another email account, you can merge accounts after you have logged in. LINK
If you are NOT the parent/guardian of this child, please LINK
The next step will be for you to APPROVE or DENY the roster spot on the team they have been added to. Until this is completed, your player will be displayed as PENDING.
If you DENY this roster addition accidentally, you will be able to APPROVE at your Guardian account.
Thank you for playing USSSA!"
