Checklist for starting your season

 

There are many steps necessary to create your registrations and online stores. To ensure the success of your registrations, here's a step-by-step guide to help you along the way.

 

Changing seasons

To change your active season, go to the top of the page and click on the breadcrumb trail. Click on the season, and the drop-down list will expand. Select the season you wish to work in.

You'll notice a yellow banner at the top of the page. You can still set up your new catalog and online store despite this warning. This banner lets you know that you're working in a season other than the one currently active.

REMINDER: Affiliation fees must be activated by national, provincial, and regional organizations before the local organization can create registration fees.

If affiliation fees are not activated, the division will be grayed out in the drop-down menu when creating registration fees.

BEST PRACTICES FOR YOUR REGISTRATION FEES

  • Name your registration fees generically.

  • Do not include season date, year of birth, age, practice days, or match days in the name of your registration fee.

    • EXAMPLE:

      • Summer U09-CDC Male

      • Summer U14-REG Female

      • Winter U17-LDIR Male

      • 9U - Mixed

      • 13U - Female

      • Rally Cap - Mixed

  • Keep in mind that your registration fees can be used next season. This will save you from having to change all your registration fee names.

  • Don't forget to update the additional questions, which will be displayed in your registration fees.

  • Ensure you indicate the correct amounts for your regular, early, and late fees.

  • Make sure that the status of your registration fees is active.

** Best practices for creating your online stores **

 

  • You must create a single online store for all your players and divisions. EXCEPT for organizations with multiple cities. For example, you could name your store :

    • SUMMER 2024 REGISTRATION

 

  • For organizations with more than one city, you must create a single store per city with all divisions, for example :

    • SUMMER 2024 REGISTRATION - JOLIETTTE

    • SUMMER 2024 REGISTRATION - L'ASSOMPTION

 

 

You can put your referees, coaches, and volunteers in the same store.

  • You MUST Share your store with all other organizations for coaches, referees, and volunteers.
