3. Divisions, Teams, and Rosters:
Team Upload Email
We are using a new system this year. League Directors fill in the team import template Team Import CSV GameSheet will email the invitation codes directly to coaches/managers.
When the email is sent, the divisions and teams will be created. It is important that if you have Pools that they are created in the divisions (ex) U14AA Pool A, U14AA Pool B. This will remove the step of moving teams to the correct pools thus reducing errors.
In the Head Coach and Coach Email columns, the primary contact needs to be filled in. If you have a manager, please add their information as well.
