VENMO UPDATE

We’ve recently updated our Venmo account to better reflect our organization’s status. While our name and username remain the same, we are no longer listed as a business account — we’re now officially listed as a charity.

Please double-check that you’re selecting the correct entry when sending payments or donations.

  • Username: @VTBlackBears

  • New Status: Charity

⚠️ Note: If you accidentally select the old business listing and try to send money, you will receive an error message, and the payment will not go through.

To make it easier, scan our updated QR code below to go directly to the correct account:

IMPORTANT ROSTER REMINDER

How To Add A Second Parent/Guardian To The SportsEngine App


By default, one parent/guardian ("primary owner") will be added to the SportsEngine app at the time of registration. That primary owner can choose to add a second parent/guardian/user if they would like to. The second user will be able to RSVP and interact with the app the same way the primary owner does. Follow the steps below to add a second user:

  1. Click on the 'Account' button at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Click on the player's name.
  3. Click the edit button on the bottom of the screen and select "add guardian".
  4. Enter the email address of the second guardian and send them the invite. Once they accept the invitation they will have the same level of access as the primary owner.
