Request the affiliation through the link
The team coach link opens a page with the meet name, the organization, the dates and the venue. At the top it reads Team coach · Meet and the sport. If the link already carries the team, it is shown under Team in this link:.
If you are not signed in yet
Section titled “If you are not signed in yet”The page shows three buttons:
- I already have an account — Sign in: sign in with your coach account. Afterwards you come back to this page.
- I am a coach but have no password: create the password for your existing record (see First access).
- I have no record — Register: register as a coach. If the organization does not accept new registrations, a notice replaces this button.
In all three cases you return to the link page when you finish.
