Some events allow parents/participants to request to be added to a roster. This can be done by finding the event and selecting your role (parent, participant, player etc.) and the team you wish to join. Requesting to join as a parent will add your participant to the roster, so don't select player/participant if you are the parent or guardian. Your roster entry will be pending until it is accepted by your coach. Sometimes you may need to remind your coach to accept your request.
