There are number of different roles on a team from the coaches, to the players, to the parents that make it all happen, and the fans in the stands and at home. GameChanger has a number of different roles that you can be assigned on a team to ensure that you have access to the right tools and content you need for the role you play in your team's season.
Below is the list of different roles that you can have on a team, what content or tools are available, and what may be required to be designated in that role.
Even when your role may grant permission to access certain features, some will require a Plus or Premium subscription in order to access.
Your access to season stats may be limited to only your connected player depending on team settings.

Staff will be able to invite accounts to be Family members to players and approve relationship requests. Staff can designate any account in their team's community to be a scorekeeper or videographer.
In addition to all of the team's management tools, Staff get FREE access to all features including the team's statistics, spray charts, video clips, and full game video archives.

Team followers are a non-confirmed role. These accounts can view core team information like the team's game schedule and record, team roster, and follow along with the Animated GameStream.
As they are not a confirmed member like the other roles, they may be able to watch live streams and view stats, but this is dependent on the team’s privacy settings and their subscription access. These accounts do not need to be approved and are not tied to any specific player on the team's roster.
