GameChanger App
Important: Tournament schedules for end of season play will be established at a later date. Your season does not end at current end of schedule. When we add these games, they should automatically sync to your GameChanger.
GameChanger:
You can now import your team, along with its roster and schedule, from Kennedy Sports Connect into GameChanger. Before importing your team, you must download the GameChanger app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Additionally, the following requirements must be true:
- You are using the same email address for GameChanger that you use for Kennedy Sports Connect website/portal (see note below).
- Your team's roster is posted on the Sports Connect website. This has been completed for you by Kennedy Little League.
- You are an allocated volunteer for your team on the Sports Connect site. All coaches are already allocated.
If you are updating your email, please follow the below instructions:
- Confirm the changed email account if you get a confirmation email or code from GameChanger (check spam folder)
- Only after you complete the above, Sign Out of your GameChanger mobile app from the account menu, close the app completely and then sign in again using the updated email.
This will register your app to the email change you made. You will then be prepared for the sync once we give you the final instructions.
If you are new to GameChanger, you only need to create an account using your Kennedy email address.
Import Your Sports Connect Team
- Sign in to GameChanger with the same email address you use with Sports Connect.
- Tap Create Team or the "+" sign (upper right corner in iPhone) to create a new team.
- Choose the option to Import Sports Connect per below image.
- If you haven't already confirmed your email address, click Open Email App or go to your email app of choice which will direct you to your email. Select Confirm Email Address, and you'll be redirected back to the GameChanger app.
- Select the team(s) to import. Make sure the team(s) you want to import have a check next to them, and then tap import in the upper corner of the screen. You will see the status of teams importing at the bottom of the screen. Please only import the team you have been notified is ready by Kennedy. If you are coaching multiple teams, do not import teams that Kennedy has not indicated are ready for import.
This feature will import player/schedule information into the mobile app. Schedule and Roster updates made (in Sports Connect) after the team import will automatically sync within the mobile app.
Note: You can only import your team from Sports Connect to GameChanger one time. Do not delete your team, contact us if you are having issues.
- Any updates made to your schedule or roster will automatically update to the GameChanger app. However, events that are listed as "Rescheduled" or "Postponed" on Kennedy Sports Connect will not appear in GameChanger. If you have issues with auto-updating, you can manually trigger a schedule reimport via these steps.
- Results from games scored in GameChanger will not appear on Kennedy Sports Connect. Please make sure to head into the GameChanger app to view results.
IMPORTANT: ALL SCHEDULING CHANGES WILL BE MADE THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND NOT THE APP. Changes made by the league in the Kennedy SportsConnect site will automatically update to the GameChanger app. However, events that are listed as "Rescheduled" or "Postponed" on SportsConnect will not appear in GameChanger. Changes made in GameChanger will not push backwards into the site.
If you see DUPLICATE. MISSING or NO games in Gamechanger, do the following:
1. Tap on your team
2. Tap on settings (top right corner)
3. Tap "schedule sync"
4. Tap "reimport team schedules"
