Registering your team for an event
This guide walks you through registering your team for an event on SportCerts.
Who this is for
Admin/Coaches who have a team set up on SportCerts and want to register that team for a tournament, league, or event hosted on the platform.
Before you start
You'll need:
Your SportCerts login
Your Code of Conduct signed (required before you can register for events)
Your team already created with players on the roster
The event's name or organization (so you can find it on the schedule)
A payment method, if the event charges a registration fee
For best results, your players should be Verified before the event's registration deadline. See the article on understanding player verification status.
Steps
Step 1 — Find the event
Log in at sportcerts.com.
Go to the public schedule (or click Events from your dashboard).
Browse or search for the event you want to register for.
Click the event to open its detail page.
Step 2 — Register your team
On the event detail page, click Register Team.
Choose the team you want to register from your list of teams.
Confirm the team's roster looks correct.
Complete any registration requirements requested by the event (division, age group, additional info, etc.).
If the event charges a registration fee, complete the payment.
Click Submit Registration.
You'll see a confirmation, and the event will appear on your team's dashboard as registered.
What happens after you register
Your team is added to the event roster. The event director can see your team and roster.
Your players are checked for eligibility. Only Verified players are typically eligible to play. Unverified, Pending, Expired, or Denied players may need to complete or renew verification before the event.
Your card packet becomes available. Once registered, you can download your team's card packet for the event. See the article on downloading your team's card packet.
Notes
Each event has its own registration deadline. Check the event page for specifics.
Each event sets its own fee (if any). SportCerts doesn't set event fees — those come from the event director.
You can register multiple teams for the same event if you coach more than one team eligible for it.
Your players need to be verified by the event's eligibility deadline. Verification can take 1–2 business days, so don't wait until the last minute.
Troubleshooting
The Register Team button isn't there. Either you haven't signed the Code of Conduct, or registration for this event hasn't opened yet. Check the event detail page for registration dates.
My team doesn't appear in the team selection list. The team may not be set up correctly — for example, if it doesn't have an organization assigned. Confirm your team is fully created and try again. If it still doesn't appear, contact support.
The event won't accept my registration. Common reasons:
The registration deadline has passed
Your team's age group doesn't match the event's eligibility
A required field is missing
A required player isn't verified
The error message on screen usually explains the reason. Contact the event director if it's unclear.
A player on my roster wasn't included in the registration. Most events automatically register all eligible players from your roster. If a player wasn't included, they may not be Verified yet. Check the player's verification status on your roster.
I registered the wrong team. Contact the event director to cancel the registration. Self-serve cancellation isn't currently available for most events.
I paid the registration fee but my registration didn't go through. Refresh your dashboard. If the registration still doesn't appear within a few minutes, contact support and include the date and time of payment.
FAQ
How much does it cost to register for an event? It depends on the event. SportCerts doesn't set event fees — each event director sets their own. Some events are free; others charge a flat fee or a per-player fee.
Do I have to register every player on my roster? Most events register all eligible players automatically. Some events let you pick a subset — check the event's registration page for specifics.
Can I register for multiple events at once? You register one event at a time, but you can register for as many events as you want. Each event has its own page and registration flow.
What if a player on my roster isn't verified by the event date? That player generally won't be eligible to play. Most events go off the verification status as of the registration deadline. Check with the event director if you have a player whose verification is pending close to the deadline.
Can a parent register for an event independently? No. Event registration is done by the team's coach, not by individual parents.
Can I see which other teams are registered for an event? Some events publish a list of registered teams; others don't. Check the event detail page.
What if the event is cancelled? The event director will communicate any changes. Refunds for registration fees depend on the event's policies — contact the event director directly.
Where do I see all the events I've registered my team for? Your coach dashboard shows your team's upcoming registered events.
