Registration 

All head/assistant coaches need to register via Stack Sports by using the registration link posted on the Competitive page. Coaches should use the same account as their child to register, select "Coach Pool" (don't select the name of your team, that is for players only), and complete all requirements for concussion training, abuse prevention, and background checks listed on your Stack Sports account profile. In addition, head coaches and Age-Level Coordinators need to submit an application to :  

• Head Coach Application

• Age-Level Coordinator Application

​

Team Communication and Scheduling

Coaches or team managers are encouraged to use the Team Connect software provided by Stack Sports to post game schedules, directions, assignments (e.g., snack duty), and other relevant information for parents. Coaches can also track player availability for upcoming games and use the text alert to quickly communicate with parents (e.g., game cancellations). Team Connect can be accessed on a smart phone or similar device using the Sports Team Connect App for iOS or Android.
