# Adult teams

> On an adult team the player consents for themselves and holds their own account — no parent in the loop.

Most RinkNotes teams are **youth teams**, where each player's parent grants consent. That's the
default. But RinkNotes also runs **adult teams** — junior, college, senior, or rec — where
there's no parent to ask. On an adult team, the **player consents for themselves**, holds their
own account, and reads their own feedback directly.

## What changes on an adult team

The capture-and-review core is identical. What changes is **who consents** and **who receives**:

* **The player consents for themselves.** No parent request, no parent in the loop.
* **The player holds their own account** and reads their own feedback on their own page.
* **There's no parent portal and no parent reports** — an adult player's feedback goes to the
  player, not to a family.

Everything else — the consent gate, capture, review, outputs — works exactly as it does on a
youth team.

## Switch a team to the adult model

Every team starts on the **parent (youth)** model. Changing it is a **club admin** decision — a
coach can't do it on their own.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Roster & Consent">
    On the team you want to change, go to the **Roster & Consent** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find “Who consents for this team”">
    A club admin sees a control headed **Who consents for this team**, with two choices:
    **Parent (minor)** and **Player (adult)**. If you don't see it, you're not an org admin on
    this club.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Player (adult)">
    Switch it to **Player (adult)**. From then on, the team runs on self-consent.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  This is the same setting an admin manages across the club — see
  [Managing consent across the roster](/club-admins/consent-management#youth-teams-and-adult-teams).
</Note>

## Getting adult players set up

<Note>
  Setting up an adult team is a little hands-on for now. The consent model, each player's own
  account, and their own feedback page all work — and we're finishing the in-app step that lets
  you send players their self-consent invites straight from the roster. Until that lands,
  **getting in touch is the quickest way to set one up** — the RinkNotes team will help you send
  those invites.
</Note>

Once a player has accepted and consented for themselves, they read their own feedback on their
own page — the same feedback, game stats, and things-to-work-on a parent would see on a youth
team, but going straight to the player.

<Info>
  No legal advice here — RinkNotes lets a club choose the consent model that fits the team and
  records the choice. Whether an adult model is right for a given team is your club's call.
