Creating a Parent Account in Tully
Parents can create their own Tully accounts to manage or view their child’s training data. This can be due to age restrictions for athletes under 13 or simply because a parent wants full access to data entry, performance insights, and account ownership. Tully provides two ways to connect a parent account to an athlete: through the QR code workflow or through an admin adding a parent from the roster.
Method 1: Creating a Parent Account Through the QR Code
Parents can create their account directly from the QR code used for athlete data entry.
Step 1: Scan the QR Code
- After scanning the QR code, the parent will see the standard data entry form.
Step 2: Select the Athlete
- The parent selects their child’s name from the athlete dropdown list.
Step 3: Add Parent
- Click the Add Parent button.
- A prompt will appear stating:
- Switch athlete? Continuing will log out the current user.
Step 4: Begin Parent Account Setup
- The parent is taken to the account setup screen with a notification:
- To connect athlete’s profile, a parent account must be registered. Sign up below or log in with an existing account.
Step 5: Enter Required Information
- Parents must provide the following required fields:
-
First name
-
Last name
-
Birthdate
-
Email address
-
- There is also an optional field to set a password.
Step 6: Create Account
- Click the blue Create Account button.
- The parent account is now connected to the selected athlete.
Logging in If a Parent Already Has an Account
- Above the sign up fields is a link: Already have an account?
- If clicked, the parent will be taken to a login screen with a notification:
- Login to connect athlete’s profile to your parent account.
- They will enter their email and password to connect.
- Note: Parents can repeat this process for multiple children.
Method 2: Admin Adding a Parent From the Roster
Tully organization admins can also add parents manually.
Step 1: Navigate to the Roster
- Go to the Roster page and locate the athlete’s name.
Step 2: Find Parent Access Column
- In the roster table, navigate to the Parent Access column - Scroll right
Step 3: Add Parent
- Click Send Invite
- Click the blue + Add Parent button.
- Enter the parent’s email address and click Add.
- The parent has now been invited to Tully and has the opportunity to be connected to their athlete's account.
- They will receive an invitation to join if they do not already have an account.
How to Tell If a Parent Account Is Connected to an Athlete Profile
The fastest way to confirm whether a parent account has been successfully connected to an athlete is by checking the roster.
Step 1: Go to the Roster page in Tully
- Navigate to the Roster page in Tully and find the athlete’s profile.
Step 2: Find Parent Access Column
- If a parent account is connected, a green image stating the number of parents connected will appear.
- If they have yet to accept the invitation it will state "Invited"
Understanding How Parent Accounts Connect to Athlete Profiles
- A parent account in Tully functions as the direct link between a parent and an athlete profile. When a parent account is created or added, it becomes associated to the specific athlete profile within the organization.
- This association allows the parent to view the athlete’s data, enter training information, and manage the athlete account when needed. In short, the parent account serves as the connection point that ties the parent to their child’s profile or athlete account in Tully.
