A coach recommendation arrives as a name in a text message.
An administrator must search manually, recreate contact details, guess the intended team, and later unwind duplicate profiles or excessive access.

Coach Taylor invites the right coach without creating another duplicate account
Taylor, an illustrative community coach, knows another qualified coach who could help a nearby team. The program needs a trusted referral path without handing out broader school or park privileges.
The referral carries the team, role, and approval context.
TeamFeeder searches existing users first, creates a pending invitation when needed, and lets the organization approve only the requested affiliation and role.
Activation path
From trusted introduction to accountable assignment
The workflow keeps the human recommendation while adding identity matching and organization control.

What changes—and what can be inspected.
| Work | Before | With TeamFeeder | Proof to review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Referral | Name in a message | Team-scoped invitation | Who referred whom for which team |
| Identity | New profile every time | Search before create | Existing account is reused when matched |
| Privileges | Informal access sharing | Organization approval | Only approved roles and affiliations are granted |
| Readiness | Assumed qualification | Coach readiness record | Certification and background-check state |
Existing accounts are matched before creation.
A referral does not grant unrelated privileges.
The team and requested role travel with the invite.
Required coach steps remain accountable.
The connected workflow
The trusted coach network
A referral is strongest when it preserves both personal trust and administrative control.
Share a specific need
Invite a coach to a particular team and role rather than sending a generic signup link.
Match identity and affiliation
Reuse the person’s account and require the correct organization to approve access.
Open the right workspace
The coach receives team tools only after the assignment is accepted and authorized.
WHY THE SYSTEM COMPOUNDS
Every good coach can strengthen more than one team
A controlled referral loop makes trusted introductions easier while keeping schools, parks, and teams responsible for who receives access.
