Last Update: October 5th, 2023

This guide is designed for the public customer to use when accessing their coach information. This guide is not for the department staff to use in setting up coaches. If you need to add access for a coach/instructor, please see the article Assigning a Coach/Instructor.

Rosters for Coaches & Instructors

The Rosters icon brings you to a page that shows all of the activities and/or team sports to which you are assigned. Please note that each recreation department shares different information with their coaches, so you may not have access to all of the items listed below. (Please note: mobile device viewing will not have the soccer ball icon. Please use the Utilities menu to find your rosters instead.)

Each activity or team will show a list containing any of the following links

  • View Roster: Provides all player information with filtering abilities across the top of the page. It is ideal for carrying to games along with Emergency Cards
  • View Digital Sign In/Out Sheet: Used to record when attendees arrive and leave. Simply tap to note the date and time. Records for past attendance sheets are also available
  • View Custom Disclaimers: Displays signed disclaimers, if applicable
  • View Dynamic/Custom Forms: Displays form responses, if applicable
  • Export Roster: Exports roster information to a spreadsheet file
  • View Attendance/Sign In Sheet: Displays basic information along with multiple attendance boxes, as well as several other boxes. Must be printed out to use
  • Email Roster: Displays a list of player email addresses. This can be copied and pasted into the Recipients field in any email message
    • For best results, send the same email to a few players at a time
    • For email privacy, place your own email address in the To field and the player addresses in the "BCC" field
  • Text Message Roster: Displays a list of player mobile phone numbers. This can be copied and pasted into the Recipients field in any email message. Keep your message to less than 160 characters
    • Place your email address in the “To” field and the player addresses in the “BCC” field. If you do not see this field, ask for assistance
    • Keep your text content under 160 characters
  • Manage Teams and Team Rosters: Allows the head coach of a sport to create teams, and assign coaches and players to those specific teams
