Recover Access to an Academy Staff Account

Understand the current recovery limitation when an Academy staff member loses access to the registered mobile number.

Staff recovery is Academy-managed

Staff accounts are created by an Academy and do not receive the Academy owner, Coach or Player self-service recovery workflow. The recovery screen identifies a staff account and stops the normal mobile-replacement process.

Current app limitation

The current Staff Management edit screen does not provide a confirmed, reliable mobile-number replacement workflow. The Academy should not create a duplicate staff account using another number without first reviewing access and history.

Recommended action

  • Ask the Academy owner to confirm that the staff account is still required.
  • Contact VR SPORT Support from the Academy owner’s verified contact.
  • Provide the Academy name, staff name, old mobile number and intended new mobile number.
  • Wait for confirmation before attempting to log in with the new number.

Do not share login OTPs

A staff login OTP or recovery code must not be shared with the Academy owner or another Academy staff member. Support should never ask for an OTP.
