As of 11/30/2023, individual divisions or entire programs have a setting that will allow adult/guardian profiles to register for them, when the setting is turned on. Adult/guardian registration will only work if the division is set for registration by an athlete.
Divisions that are set up for registration by a team representative will not permit the rostering of adult/guardian profiles at this time.

How does Adult/Guardian Registration Work
Once the Adult Program/Registration setting is enabled for a Program or Division, and an adult/guardian attempts to register…
All adult/guardian profiles on an account will appear on the page where users select the athlete they want to register for the division.
Any adult/guardian profile can be selected.
If the adult/guardian profile that a user wants to register does not exist, the user may create a new athlete.
PlayerFirst only requires an adult/guardian profile to confirm/provide a first name, last name, email address, and phone number to register.
Once profile information is confirmed, registration follows the same steps as youth athlete registration.
