How can I give my child's coach access to his/her account? (Parent)

Learn how to add your child’s coach as a secondary guardian on ChessKid so they can review games and monitor their progress.

Updated this week

Adding your child's teacher or coach as a Guardian of their account allows them to view their account and review their games.

The teacher or coach must already have a Parent or Coach account on ChessKid. If they don't have one, they can create one for free here.

  1. From your Parent or Coach account, click on 'Manage' in the menu at the top and select 'Kids'

  4. Enter the coach's email address, select 'Add Guardian,' and click 'Save.' This will add them as a Secondary Guardian, while you remain the Primary Guardian.

    • Only give guardianship to trusted individuals, as it gives them full access to your kid's account. You can remove their guardianship status at any time.
