End-of-Season Registration Best Practices:

  • Before starting a new season registration, you should use the “Reset Team” function to remove all players from the Team Members list. This ensures that players are not mistakenly carried over to the new season who do not belong.

  • Alternatively, you can also “Archive” all of the previous players in the club before the season. This removes them from your Players list to avoid roster mistakes. Players’ roles with your club will be reinstated when they complete a new Registration

  • Copy your previous season’s GotSport registration Program to make your life easier! Using the Copy Program function will allow you to Copy the Program Settings, payment plans, club branding, etc, while still allowing you to update dates and other settings as needed. 
    How to Copy Your Registration Program
  • As we all know, U.S. Soccer Federation will be transitioning from a calendar-year age matrix to a school-year age matrix beginning with the 2026/2027 seasonal year. To ensure your teams are set up correctly ahead of the new season, please view the document below with instructions on how to change your Team settings to match the new Age Group matrix.
