  • Signed in at /portal
  • Your player is on an active team for the season

Is this the right guide?

Use this if you

  • You see Schedule access with a locked message.
  • Live signal or Season setup points to schedule but games are hidden.

Do not use this if you

Troubleshooting

Paid but schedule still locked

Likely cause: Wrong assignment paid, or showcase vs full-roster rules differ for your player.

Fix: Confirm with staff which product unlocks schedule; refresh after they adjust assignments.

Unlocked but No games on the board yet

Likely cause: Schedule not posted yet — different from locked.

Fix: Wait for staff to publish games; the empty state is expected.

What you still cannot do here

  • Showcase and full-roster players may have different gate rules — read the card text for your player.
  • Public /schedule may show less detail than the family team board.

Portal button labels may differ slightly — club staff can edit parent-facing copy at /admin/portal-copy. The headings in this guide match the default shipped text.
