Mahtomedi Team Managers 2017 Season

Step-by-Step Background Check Rosters/Player Passes Rescheduling Games Team Pages Misc.

Background Checks As a team manager you will need to complete a background check through Affinity Sports. A background check is valid for one year. Link to background check is below: http://minnesotayouthsoccer- bgc.sportsaffinity.com/reg/index.as p?sessionguid=

Rosters Once you have completed your background check, you will be assigned to your team and have access to the Affinity features. You will need to do the following: Cross reference the roster in Affinity with the Roster your coach gave you. Make sure all the players have photos and birth certificates, this is required for their player passes. Before each game you will need to be sure to set the rosters and have it on hand for the game. You might not need it, but just in case.
