You can also access your page and communicate with your team via the Game Changer mobile app, which you can download here.

GameChanger App
GameChanger is an app for your phone that integrates with SportsConnect.
Importing Your Team from Sports Connect to GameChanger

Additionally, make sure that:
- You are using the same email address for GameChanger that you use for Sports Connect
- Your team's roster is live on the Sports Connect website.
- You are an allocated volunteer for your team on the Sports Connect site.

2. Tap Create Team or the "+" sign to create a new team
3. Choose the option to Import Sports Connect
4. If you haven't already confirmed your email address, click Open Email App which will direct you to your email. Select Confirm Email Address, and you'll be redirected back to the GameChanger app.
