Helpful Hints for processing your player passes

1. Remove perforations from passes before signing

2. Have child sign (NOT PRINT) the player pass; have coach sign the coach pass. Coaches DO NOT SIGN PLAYERS PASSES! (Cards will be VOIDED, disciplinary action occurs, and new cards must be purchased)

3. The front of the player pass must read as the player's birth certificate. If the players name on birth certificate is John Smith, the pass must be signed, John Smith, not Johnnie!

4. Glue a current photo on the card where it says "Attach Photo Here". (NO POLAROIDS. COMPUTER PICTURES must be printed on hi-gloss paper. DO NOT USE PHOTOS FROM OLD PLAYER PASSES - must be a current 'stamp size' photo of face)

5. PASSES: * DO NOT CROSS OUT or use WHITE OUT *. If an error has been made a new pass needs to be printed. If you run out of passes more can be purchased from NJYS for $10.00

6. Remember:
* Full-sided teams must have a minimum of 11primary players
* Small Sided teams must have a minimum 8 players
* U08 players may NOT play on a Full Sided team
* DC's # 55 will be entered when approved at DC
* MCYSA League # 12
* PLRSA Club #: 9209

7. Get Carding Packet to DC's for validation as soon as possible!! The team packet can be validated as long as you have the paperwork required minimum number of players and at least one coach.  If you do not have complete paperwork for a player or additional coaches, you can always Add them to the team with a Player/Coach Status form later on.  Depending on the volume of packets submitted to the DC it can take several days for validation.

8. Write contact number (name, phone, email) on each packet so you can be notified when packet has been validated and is ready for pickup.

9. If you are carding a team for a preseason tournament - on the packet envelope write TOURNAMENT and the tournament date.

Got Soccer Roster Instructions:

Prior to Printing Passes Review:
Correct players / no secondary carded players for initial roster / Name matches Birth Cert (very critical) / Birth Date / and anything else that may need to be changed. It is important that the there is a three way match between the Gotsoccer roster / Birth Certificate / and Membership form.  The name must be exactly same and the player must sign using the official name.

Log-In:
You MUST be logged into your account as a team account to print your roster and passes. The coach account access only allows user to change individual profile. I believe I sent most head coaches the temporary ‘Team Sign in”. If not, email me or Cristiane Jennings a request.

Go to www.gotsport.com, / login under Teams (coaches and managers) / home / roster

Player Updates:
Change Player information: / home / roster / Click on player / Update info / Hit Update button
Delete Player: / home / roster / Click on player / click “Delete Player” button

IMPORTANT: Prior to printing:
You need to make sure the scale factor in Adobe Reader is sent to "None" in print phase.  You will find this setting on the screen where you select the printer to use. The Got Soccer system also has a note about this telling you to check the scale.  It must be set to none to correctly print your player passes.

Generating Official Roster and Player passes:
Log in as Team / Home / League Event (MCYSA 2010-2011) / Roster / Freeze Roster.
Note: (Please review one more time prior to hitting this button as this can cost you a roster move if a player has to be released and then added later because he/she was not available to sign their card).You will see ID”s on all players after freezing roster and new links will appear above player lists.
Click on: “Standard NJ” and an ‘Official Roster’ is generated as a PDF file to be taken to DC. (If coach ID #’’s do not show go back to Coach Tab and generate a number –see above).
Click on ‘FRONT” for pre-printed stock and the system will generate ID cards in PDF format for all player’s/coaches on the team

Please use the copy page (make extra’s to experiment) and run some trials first. Once you are sure of placement of stock – then print actual passes. Save the PDF files to your PC for reference. 

Secondary Pass Instructions / Generating New Roster With Added Players:

To add a secondary player to your roster you will have to know the player's full name and the player pass number of the player's primary player pass.

·         In search box, enter player’s full name and primary # / click on search.

·         The Age and Gender boxes will be populated with the age and gender of your team. If you are adding a younger player, change the age to the appropriate age group. Once player is found in the system, their record will be displayed along with an Add button. Click on the Add button if this is the player you want added – BE SURE!

·         The player will be added to your roster as a secondary.
