Setting up guardian access

How to link up with your child as a parent – by invitation and confirmation in the app. Plus: what applies to children under 16.

Applies to App ParentsPlayers Updated 3 Oct 2026

As a guardian you link your VolleyFit account with your child’s account. You then see their teams and events and can respond for them. The link is always created by an invitation that the other side accepts in their app.

Before you start

  • You both need your own account. Your child registers with their own email address – see Creating an account & consent.
  • You need the email address the other account is registered with – exactly that one.
  • No email confirmation is needed.

You’ll find the Guardians page in the side menu or under Settings → Guardians.

  1. Open the side menu and tap Guardians.
  2. Under My wards, tap Invite child.
  3. Enter your child’s email address and tap Send invitation.
  4. Read the Health data consent and confirm with I consent. As a parent or guardian, you agree to the processing of your child’s health and training data.
  5. Your child gets a notification. They open Guardians, tap Accept on your invitation and then Confirm.

Until your child accepts, Invitation pending is shown next to them.

Once linked, you see your child’s events in your app.

Option 2: your child invites you

  1. Your child opens Guardians and taps Invite guardian under My guardians.
  2. They enter the email address you use for VolleyFit and tap Send invitation.
  3. You get a notification. Open Guardians and tap Accept under Invitations.
  4. Confirm the Health data consent with I consent.

Under 16: not much works without a guardian

Parental consent is required for children and teenagers under 16. As long as no guardian has accepted the link:

  • Your child can’t join a team.
  • They can’t record health data such as the Daily Check, pain reports or body data.

The app then shows Parental consent required. During setup your child can confirm they have consent and invite you later – but things are only unlocked once the link is confirmed.

Either side can end the link at any time.

Several children, several guardians

You can link several children, and a child can have several guardians – both parents, for example. Coaches can see in the member list which guardians a member has.

What you can do for your child once you’re linked is explained in Acting on behalf of your child. The web dashboard isn’t meant for parents – you do everything in the app.
