PRE-SEASON

Pre-Registration

  • Finalize MSC website with relevant Information upcoming season details with registration open/close dates.
  • Update MYAA program registration.  Ensure each division has updated dates and explanations.  Things that change each season and require individual updating dates for late fees, for example.  This needs to be updated for each division separately.  Inputting the number of max registrants ensures teams can be properly managed as registration nears closing so teams are not over rostered.  (Ex.  A U8 team does not exceed 10 or 11 players in a 6v6 division)
    • Open registration, select close date/adjust division totals to utilize waitlist feature.

 

            Referees

  • Communicate with previous season youth referees to determine who is returning utilizing TeamSnap.
  • Announce a 2-hr referee course, coordinate instruction, set up a registration link to cap at approximately 15 new referees and allow for current to use as refresher.
