SCYS Levels of Play Recreation (all recreation teams inhouse 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  Must be recreation league Academy  Must be academy league Classic 2  Playing SCYS Open League (formerly 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

Player Administration To check the status of your players:  Go to Player Administration  Click on Non-Rostered Players.  This will show you a list of players that are not assigned to teams. Some may be players that transferred to another club, Any without a number listed need to either be de-activated (must be done by state) or assigned.

Create Teams Go to Roster Administration Create New Team Select Correct League in Drop Down Menu Enter 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. Enter Team Name – club initials, year, name (i.e. ICFC 96B Red, Cainhoy 02 Girls) Gender Team Kind - Once entered cannot be changed. 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.

Club Pass Mark player as club pass player in his/her registration screen. Players cannot play down in level. Players may now play laterally (i.e. U13 PMSL may play on another U13 PMSL team). Players can play for only one team on any given day – but can play for as many games as that team has on that day. Players cannot play up an age but down a level. (i.e. U14 PMSL cannot play U15 Open League) Players can play up an age group as long as it is the same or higher division of play. Maximum of 3 club pass players in any one league game

Club Pass Club Passes will be allowed per the rules governing State Cup, Regionals and Nationals  Club Transfers must be completed prior to Roster Freeze Date.  Players must be registered with your club by the freeze date in order to club pass.  Roster Freeze Dates can be located on the SCYS Calendar (48 Hours Prior to State Cup) Game Day Roster  An official SCYS Game Day roster that lists a maximum of 18 and a minimum of 7 eligible players for a particular competition that is prepared and signed by the club registrar of that team.  Game day rosters are required in conjunction with club pass players’ primary team pass.

Tournament/Guest Rosters Follow same directions as create new team, make sure the team is a tournament league and the team kind be tournament. Use same team number as primary team you’re 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)  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 or DOC signs. Once signed, send to the Administrative Assistant and she will sign and send back to you or if the tournament is out of state will send to the state office for return to you once the teams travel paperwork is completed. 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. If a player is from your club is guesting, you can do a game day roster w/ the player included and send to the Administrative Assistant.
