Follow and Connect with Clubs / Teams and Athletes

Updated 6 months ago

As an athlete, parent, or fan of a club / team, you'll get the best experience from AthleticAPP if you follow or connect with your club / team(s). If you're a fan of a particular athlete, you can follow that individual as well.

CONNECTING WITH YOUR CLUB / TEAM via CLUB / TEAM CODE

All athletes and parents need to connect with their club / team via Team Code, as this enables the core AthleticAPP functions and more:

  1. Communicate with administrators, coaches, athletes, and parents. See Conversations in AthleticAPP.
  2. View club / team-only posts.
  3. Register & pay for meets you or your athlete are competing in (including virtual events).
  4. Receive notifications of assigned workouts.
So what is it?

Connecting with your club / team via Team Code connects your account to your club / team's membership / roster. For example, it verifies that the AthleticNET account owned by "John Smith" is actually the same Johnny Smith who is on Central High School's roster.

If you are a administrator / coach on AthleticNET, you are already connected to your club / team. Instructions for getting club / team members connected can be found at Connecting Athletes to Your Team via Team Code.
How do I connect?

If you are an athlete or a parent, ask your administrator / coach for the Club / Team Code and then enter the code into AthleticAPP. This will connect you as a verified club / team member. To simply follow the club / team, see Following Your Favorite Teams and Athletes, below.

Once you've obtained your club / team's code, enter it into AthleticAPP. You can enter the code before you log in by tapping Have a code? on the login screen.

Alternatively, you can enter the code once you're logged in to the app. Tap your picture or initials at the top right of the screen to bring up the main menu. (If you don't see your initials or picture, tap the icon first.) From the main menu, tap Enter Team Code.

FOLLOWING YOUR FAVOURITE CLUBS / TEAMS AND ATHLETES

If you're a fan of a particular athlete or club / team, you can follow them using AthleticAPP. Following a club / team or an athlete means you can see public posts by clubs / teams or athletes. These can include results, PRs, photos, or whatever else the athlete or club / team chooses to share. Additionally, for someone to start a one-on-one conversation with you using AthleticAPP, you must follow them first, unless you're both connected to the same club / team via Team Code.

Whether you're following a team or an athlete, finding them works in the same manner. Tap the Search () icon at the bottom of the screen, and type the name of the team or athlete you're looking for.

Once you've found the club / team or athlete you're looking for, tap on the name to be taken to the profile or club / team page. If you're searching for a club / team, you'll need to select which sport you're looking for (Indoor Track & Field, Outdoor Track & Field, or Cross Country). Once you arrive on the club / team or athlete's profile page, tap Follow. You can then choose if you'd like to receive notifications from this club / team or athlete's activity.

That's it! Now you will receive updates in your dashboard feed from this club / team or athlete.
