Youth sports teams and rosters

What happens after registration closes and you have to turn a list of names into teams.

When registration closes you have a list of names and a set of empty teams. These guides cover how to turn one into the other, from deciding what fair means for your league, to creating teams, drafting players onto them, and running the roster afterward.

They also cover the adults on a team: how coaches and volunteers apply and get approved, how you put them on a specific team, and the six permissions that decide what each of them can do.

Common questions about teams and rosters

Where do I assign players to teams?
In the Master Data Grid, which is not where most people look first. Open the program, click View Master Grid, and use the green Team Draft column, which has a dropdown on every row. It saves immediately, and players nobody has placed read Unassigned.
Can parents choose their own team?
A team hub has its own registration link, and a player who registers through it lands on that team directly. Coaches recruiting for their own roster tend to use it. You can still move those players like anyone else.
What does removing a player from a roster do?
It takes them off that team only. Their account, player profile, registration and payments are untouched. If somebody has left the program entirely, cancel their registration instead, which is what removes them from your numbers.
What can an assistant coach do by default?
Nothing until you turn it on. Every staff permission starts off, and you switch on the ones each person needs: send emails and texts, manage the schedule, manage volunteers, manage the roster, customize the team page, and team settings. For a typical assistant coach, sending messages and managing the schedule is usually enough.
