Getting to the point of making teams means the registration is complete and all the players have paid their fees.
- Players should be in an initial registration group aligned with our standard age groups that we do in Kincardine
- U4, U5, U6, U8, U10, U12, U15, U18
- Some divisions U8+ have Mixed and Girls teams
- Parents have limited ability to see what age group they registered
- If they save their emailed receipt from Registration
- Log into SportsEngine and look under Registrations will take them to a view of it
- Valuable inputs to have for the process
- Prior season coach input (we try to get coaches to complete a form at the end of each season that rates players)
- Evaluation days for U8 and U10
- An executive member that has also been coaching one or more of their children who has on field game experience across the age group
- Timbits is more straight forward as you can typically wait until we know how many team (10 players per average) and then go down the registration list and assign them a team number.... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, etc.

Tips
- Create a single spreadsheet (don't use SportsEngine) of all the players with this data you can pull in a report from SportsEngine.
- First Name, Last Name, Division, Data of Birth, Gender, City
- Create columns for Coach and Team #
- Coordinate with the Coach Coordinator to determine who is coaching (Head Coach and/or Assistant Coach)
- Insert Coach name and highlight the player line, this will become the baseline for your teams as we put the coaches players with them.
- Maintain a separate and central location for any player requests to play with another friend.
- We can accommodate, but can easily get unmanageable, so we don't promote it very heavily.
- Sometime getting people to agree to coach results in them asking certain players to be together.
