Setting Up Your High School Team

Once you've accepted your invite as a coach, it's time to invest a little time setting up WrestlingIQ so you get the most benefit from it possible. Below are the suggested steps for setting up your team for the first time in WrestlingIQ. If you get everything done below, you will be in good shape for a smooth season.

We highly recommend watching the video above, but if you want written information please see below.

Collect additional wrestler or parent information

First up, head to the team settings page, then click the 'Registration' tab. If you wish to collect additional information about your wrestlers or parents. See the :45 second mark in the video above for an example of this in action.

Documents

Head over to the documents tab. Create any documents, such as team rules, concussion forms, etc that your wrestlers or parents need to sign.

Liability forms. These forms will require the wrestler to sign it (if they are invited to have an account on WrestlingIQ) as well as the parent to sign the document on behalf of the wrestler.

Documents Requiring a Signature. These forms will require anyone joining the team account (parent or wrestler) to sign them. While liability forms require the parent to sign on behalf of their wrestler, these documents only require the parents to sign as themselves. Documents such as 'Team Rules' should go into this category of documents.

When wrestlers or parents accept their invites, they'll be forced to sign those forms before they can access anything else.

Add additional coaches

Head to the coaches page to invite more coaches.

Adding Parents & Wrestlers

Option 1: Team join link

Under the team settings page, you'll find the join url for your WrestlingIQ team along with a pre-generated QR code. See the video above for what this process looks like for a parent or wrestler joining the team.

Option 2: Import via CSV + Email Invite

To import an entire team, and invite them in the same step, is to use the CSV import. Many teams will make a copy of the spreadsheet template, have their kids enter their data into the spreadsheet the first day of practice, then go home and upload the file to WrestlingIQ.

If you want to invite wrestlers one by one (or maybe you had a late walk on), first head to Rosters-> Wrestlers in the sidebar, then tap Add Wrestler. Once their basic info is in the system, go to their wrestler profile and tap the '+ Invite' button to send them an account invite:

Parent Invites

If you used the CSV import to also invite parents, you can skip this section. If you only invited wrestlers, parents can be invited in two different ways.

1. Wrestlers can invite their own parents

Once your wrestlers have activated their account, if they click 'Roster' -> 'Parents' in the sidebar they can invite their own parents for you.

2. You, or any coach, can invite parents yourself

Look for the invite parent button on the 'Roster' -> 'Parents' page, which looks something like this. You'll need first name, last name, and email address to create the parent account and associate them with a wrestler.

Next steps

With your team fully invited, calendar, and documents in place, you are all set to roll with WrestlingIQ for the season.
