Player Administration To check the status of your players, go to Player Administration, Player Pool, Filter by Active Only, then click on either the letter for the last name or all.

Player Administration (Cont) Look to the right of the players’ name and you will see numbers under “rec”, “classic” and “all”. If there are no numbers then the player is active but not assigned to a team. You need to assign them to the appropriate team or mark inactive and let us know that they need to be inactive. If you see a “0 + 1” or some other number then that player is active in your database but playing for another club. Again mark inactive and let us know to do the same.

Demosphere Club on-line registration(OLR) Roster Pro www.scyouthsoccer.net/rosterpro Log in & password Make sure you are listed as a user if your club has changed registrar. It is important to make sure you keep your approved users up to date (usually the president and registrar). Support@demosphere.com

Leagues The following divisions exist: Recreation (all recreation teams in house or league) Junior Academy (teams that used evaluations for placement) Classic (teams that used tryouts for placement) Tournament (non rostered teams attending invitational tournaments) Game Day (you will not create a team in this division – a team will show here if you create a game day roster from the teams’ primary roster)

Team Kind Recreation Academy Classic 2 Classic 1 Challenge Premier Must be recreation league Academy Must be academy league Classic 2 Playing second tier of PMSL Classic 1 Playing upper tier of PMSL Challenge Playing in SCSCL Premier Playing in Premier League Tournament Must be tournament league

Create Teams Go to Roster Administration Create New Team Select Correct League in Drop Down Menu Put in Team # (list can be found on website – make sure you do not duplicate number and that you are using your club’s numbers as they may change each year). Suggestion divide numbers so that the first few are for classic, then next few for academy and the final few for recreation as it applies to your club. Put in Team Name – club initials, year, name (i.e. ICFC 96B Red, Cainhoy 02 Girls) Gender Team Kind (as previously noted) Age Group – if a pool team make sure you use the oldest players age group Save

Assigning Player/Staff Once team has been created Open team Click add player from club pool (This will only open up the pool based on the age group and gender – if you need to assign girls to a boys team you must filter by gender, also if it covers more than one age group you must also filter by that number of years.) Click add team staff from pool (You may also have to filter this based on their risk management status. It may be best to wait to add coach until his/her risk management is up to date.) Once you have added all staff: coaches, assistant coaches, managers, team administrator save the team. Also remember if you are adding club coaches or DOC’s to a team they should be added as either the head coach or assistant coach. Only one head coach per rostered team (pools can have more than one head coach) all others are assistant coaches. If you have a DOC or club coach – remember you create a new team 4000 named DOC/Club Coach, gender boys, age group 19 and assign just the DOC(s) and Club Coach(es) to this team – no players. Please also add your DOC to your Club Administrators.

Tournament/Guest Rosters Follow same directions as create new team, but make sure you make the team be a tournament league and the team kind be tournament. Use the same team number as the primary team you are creating the tournament team for. (i.e. if you have a U9-U12 Girls Pool with team number 2000 the tournament team would be 2000T (for Tournament or U10) or 2000N(for U9) 2000E(for U11) and 2000W (for U12) or you can use the coaches initials or B for black, R for red your choice). Once you create the team, assign the players and staff just like you did before. Only one head coach per tournament team all other are assistants. Tournament teams allow you to delete players (red X at end of line) and add players as needed for each tournament. Players can be added from any age/gender eligible non-rostered team. You do not have to create a new team each time just change players as needed. Print roster and that is where you will put in the tournament name, date and location. Once you have printed make sure the coach signs (if DOC is listed on roster as Coach or Assistant he/she can sign). Once signed, send to the Administrative Assistant and she will sign and send back to you. Please try to use black ink as other colors do not scan or fax well. Please be careful of the quality of the scan (pictures of the document often come too dark to read). Guest rosters must be completed (all signature lines are required to be signed) if a player is going with your team from another club or from a rostered team within your club.
