How to Get Started?

Here are some initial steps for Team Reps:

Step 1: Accept your invite to your team via email from SportNinja. You will need this to manage your team and roster.

Step 2: Add/Invite your Players to your Team (you can do this on the Web or Mobile). Players must also accept and join to see their schedule and attendance, have team chat and notifications, etc.

Step 3: Track those who haven't yet accepted. When they accept, their status will change from "invited" to "accepted." They don't need to accept to participate and receive game stats, but it is necessary to use many features and have the best experience.

Game Attendance

Know who's planning to attend and streamline your pre-game set-up!

  • Players can set their Attendance for upcoming games with 1-click on their Home screen.

  • Team Reps/Managers can view and update their Team member's Attendance, jersey numbers and positions for each game.

    • All Team members also have Team Chat (instant messaging) available to coordinate in real time. 

  • Scorekeepers can see player Attendance responses as a reference for their player check-in process.

Team Chat & News Feed

Team Chat: All players and team officials have access by default for each of their teams (Note: Players marked as "Affiliate" do not have Team Chat).

  • Once you accept an invitation to join your team, you'll have access to the chat on both mobile and web.

  • The chat becomes active 30 days before a competition starts and remains live for 10 days after it

  • You can share photos, and gifs, and react to messages with emojis to enhance communication.


News Feed: Allows communication with both team members and followers.

  • As an Admin or Team Rep: Your posts will appear on the home screen for all team members and followers, including images and URL links.

  • Posting as a Player: You will only be able to post under your team page, which means that your teammates will be able to engage with that.

Notifications, Reminders and Game Updates

When you download the SportNinja app you will be asked if you would like to Allow Notifications. Allowing notifications is recommended for the best experience.
 

SportNinja delivers push notifications to your devices for: 

  • Upcoming Game Reminders

  • Reminder to Set your Game Attendance

  • Game Scores (immediately post-game)

  • Team Invites and more!

Calendar Sync

From your Team's "Games" tab on the mobile app you can subscribe/export and sync your game schedule into your personal calendar.

The Calendar sync is updated every 10 minutes, so your personal calendar is never out of sync with any game updates.

Video Upload & YouTube Integration

Upload your own videos directly from your device or use a YouTube link to add video content to a game.

 

This provides an easy way to share game footage, highlights, or other relevant videos associated with each specific game.
