5/25/22 Registrars Meeting Recap

  • Got Sport is the new onboarding platform for LIJSL. Our club will be using SportsEngine because of their superior customer service and user friendly app. After our players register on SportsEngine the registrar will upload registrations to GotSport. 
  • All players that were previously verified will still be verified (do not need to upload new birth certificates). But players may need to upload new photos – Vanessa to double check. 
  • Vanessa and Stefana will have weekly meetings with SportsEngine until new platform is implemented and ready for parent registrations.
  • Fall registration meeting with LIJSL on Friday July 15th at 10:00.  Club registration must be closed by July 10th.  Remember we can add players after that, but we cannot add a team late.  ALL TEAMS MUST BE CREATED BY JULY 10TH.
  • We are aiming to open registration by June 20th
