Welcome to our new registration system, SportsConnect.  We hope you are as excited as we are about the transition to this new system which comes highly recommended by many other sports organizations. Below are some guidelines to help each group navigate this new system. 

Quick Jump to: All Parents | Travel League Parents

All Parents

Since you are already here, you have found the right place.  Bookmark our home page at melroseyouthsoccer.org.  This will be your new starting point for everything Melrose Youth Soccer.  It even supports Google Translate (see the icon in the header) if you need to swap from English to some other language.

To login to the site, you will need a new account in this new registration system.  You can start that process easily using the REGISTER in the banner above.  You will need to enter all of the usual information appropriate for a new account.  Note that if you have created an account using a SportsConnect site for another organization (such as Mass Youth Soccer or as Melrose Rec Department), SportsConnect may transfer some of that information over to your Melrose account which might skip some initial steps setting up your account. 

After you have a working account on this site, you can LOGIN using the button in the banner and switch to your account (if you aren't there already) with the "MY ACCOUNT" button.  You can manage your existing info on that page and chose to Volunteer or find a link to your child's team page if they have been assigned to a team. 

Under each player listed in the account, you'll see a blue bar for any program in which they have been registered.  The first section of the blue bar will show the program in which they are registered.  The second section will show the grade grouping.  And after they have been assigned to a team, you'll see that in the third section of the blue bar.  If you are on a mobile device, the UI may not have the "blue bar" but the info will still be there with a listing of program, grade, and team (if applicable).   

If you add a player in the future, you can do so using the very subtle "..." button on the main My Account page to the right of the word "Participants". 

You may also want to add a spouse/partner/caregiver to your account so they get updates about the players too.  To add an Additional User account to an existing Primary account, use the gear icon on the My Account page and scroll to the bottom to find the plus sign for adding an Additional Account Holder.  Enter the adult information there and that e-mail address will receive an invitation.  That adult should then click on the e-mailed invitation to accept the account and then they will be able to log in to SportsConnect too.   

If you have not yet volunteered for a coaching role or team parent role, you can do so from the My Account view.  Use the Volunteer link in the left navigation bar and then click on Find Volunteer Roles.  You can add a volunteer role for yourself or for a secondary user or the secondary user can volunteer themselves. 

Travel League Parents

Our new SportsConnect portal gives us a view of everything that is happening that we in Melrose Youth Soccer have set up and organize but it does not include the content that is set up and organized by Middlesex Youth Soccer.  Unfortunately, for travel parents, this means that the most up to date game info, including schedules and standings, will be found directly on the Middlesex Youth Soccer site.  Locate the navigation on the left to find the appropriate info.  Information that may be included on SportsConnect portal is only a disconnected copy of what may be in the Middlesex system.  So if game schedules (time, day, location) change, any info in SportsConnect will not reflect those changes - only SportsManager will have the most up to date information.  We recognize that this disconnection is not ideal but we believe that the other features of the SportsConnect platform outweigh the nuisance of being disconnected and hope that Middlesex will some day soon make the shift so we can be connected on the new platform.
