39. 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.

40. 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.
