Coaches must be 21-years-old to coach in any ASA sports program.

All coaches must register online every season for every sport they will be coaching.

This process was created in an effort to let parents register directly to their team instead of having to wait for the ASA staff to move everyone manually. Some sports do not use the Team Invitation Code process. Those sports include: Inline Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer and Track.

In order to get the team code the Head Coach MUST register online for the current season, This is especially important for the head coach because they are the ones who will be sent the Team Invitation Code.

Once registered, coaches will receive an email from ClearStar, Inc requesting a background check ($5 fee). Once the background check has been completed ASA staff will move the head coach to the roster. Then an email will be sent out to the head coach that contains the team code. When registering please make sure contact information, specifically email address, is correct. If it is not, the coach will not receive the team invitation code email.

If you have registered and have not received a request for background check from ClearStar, Inc. and it has been MORE THAN 4 days, please contact the ASA office and we can check and see why the email has not been sent. It could mean the email address is not correct in Sportspilot.

Sportspilot Tutorial: Manage Team Roster 

Please be sure to monitor the team roster often during registration. The ASA office staff will not be responsible for moving players over manually so players must register with the team invitation code to get placed on the team roster. If they end up in the draft pool for some reason or another, the head coach must contact the ASA office and let us know so that we can get the player moved to the team before registration closes.
