If you select your gender, you must click add to associate the gender. Please only select the gender of the athletes you coach most often(if you have a separate coach for the other gender, let them register another account to prevent any issues).  If you do not see any genders listed, this means they are taken by another user and you must contact us to transfer them from the previous account.

17. After logging into your account First time users will need to create a roster, entering their athletes. This may be done by clicking [Roster]. The roster menu is where you can add, delete, and modify the status’ of your athletes. The roster menu is one of many advantages compared to alternative registration methods. The roster is the list of athletes that correspond to divisions and is where you may draw your entries from.

18. The Roster menu There are many items that correspond to each athlete. This is the menu for designating athletes as JV, Varsity, or their grade level. The many corresponding items are easily edited later by simply clicking the [pencil and paper] icon; “edit”.  When entering events, athlete divisions must match the division of the event to be “eligible”.

19. Adding Athletes Before you can enter meets, you must first add athletes to select from. The athlete entry process begins with adding the first then last name of an athlete. Then you must specify a gender. The genders you can select from are limited by the team code(s) you associated with your account at registration.  The system will not allow you to simply ‘view an empty roster’. In order to see the roster for each gender, you must have at least one athlete of that gender in your roster.

20. Adding Athletes You are almost done adding this athlete. This helps with recordkeeping purposes by ensuring that your roster is cleaned of graduated Seniors and Freshmen are advanced the next year.  We have implemented a feature that will automatically increment the year of athletes on all rosters before the season, moving Seniors to the Graduate year.

21. Adding Athletes To finish the athlete entry process, you will need to designate them as either Varsity or JV. This also helps when entering Division specific events by delimiting your roster to show only Varsity or JV athletes. This will help to prevent any mistakes when entering relays and other events. Once all of the information is correct, press [Add] and you will see the athlete pop up in your Roster as soon as the page refreshes.  For example; In Freshmen events, your selectable roster will include only freshmen athletes. For 6 th grade track meets, your roster will only show athletes of the “6 th grade” division.

Events may or may not have limits to the number of entries you can have. Events are also associated with a Division, like athletes.

28. Special Notices!  If you coach both middle school and high school, you will need to create two different, separate accounts and associate each one to the appropriate level.  If you cannot select a gender for your athletes when you are adding them, you have not selected a gender. Please go to [accounts] and add a team code.  If you do not see any gender codes to add, this means they are taken by another user, contact us and we will transfer them.  If you are having trouble logging in, please contact us so we may get you your login information, do not create a new account as the team code you will look for is taken by your “old” account and your roster will also be empty.  Remember: Meets have specific registration opening dates, if you are having trouble finding a meet to enter, keep in mind we try to have the meet open about a week before the date of the meet.
