# How to accept an invite and join a Team

## To be a member of a Team (either as a player or team official) you must either register OR receive an email invite.

**Steps:**

Player (or parent/guardians) must be added to a team via invite from the Team Roster tab. When their email is added to their player profiel they will automatically be sent an email invite.

With this invite they can accept and join (and create a user login profile, if they don't have one already)

 

NOTE: Players do not need to be invited in order to have stats or to score a game. However, accepting the invite is necessary to access features like Team Chat, Attendance, Notifications.

To send Invites:
