Primary Guardianship

Some coaches or teachers provide Gold Memberships to students through their programs or clubs. For a coach or teacher to grant your kid a Gold membership, they must be listed as the Primary Guardian of your kid’s ChessKid Kid account.

If you’re currently the Primary Guardian on your Kid’s account and want them to keep using their existing ChessKid account, you can easily transfer primary guardianship to their coach or teacher by following the steps below:

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

  4. On this page, you’ll see the current guardians. You can add your child’s coach or teacher as a guardian by entering their email and selecting their guardianship status:

    • If you select 'Switch to Primary,' the coach or teacher will be able to assign your kid a Gold membership. As their secondary guardian, you’ll still see them in your 'My Kids' list.

    • If you want to fully give up guardianship and remove the Kid from your 'My Kids' list, click 'Transfer Guardianship' to transfer the Kid account entirely to the coach or teacher.
