Clearances and Risk Management
Hello, managers! Thank you for stepping up to help. Whether you are new to the team manager role or a returning veteran, squaring away your clearances and risk management is the first place to start!
Pennsylvania mandates that all individuals working OR volunteering with children be cleared to do so. If you have volunteered for your child’s school or have obtained clearances for work or other volunteer activities, you may provide those results for the first three items below as long as they are valid. To be valid, clearances need to have been issued after July 31, 2020. The remaining three risk management items are required annually.
Step 1: Obtain your clearances and complete your risk management training:
You have been linked by our staff to your team’s GotSport account. As a result, the below tasks can be completed directly within your personal GotSport account – the same account you use to manage your team’s activities. The User ID is your email address. CLICK HERE for instructions on how to access and complete requirements in GotSport.
Alternatively, you can use the links below and then upload the completed documents to your account. Reminder: If you have current PA Child Abuse, PA Criminal Background Check and FBI clearances (issued after 7/31/20), you are ready to go with the first three items! If you do not have valid clearances, start here or use the links in your GotSport account.
Step 2: Upload Everything to GotSport (if necessary) and Complete Final Item
Once everything is uploaded and complete, please email the club’s Operations Manager to let her know. Be sure to include your team name and age.

Tournament & League Registration Instructions
After you are linked to your team GotSport account, you are ready to register for tournaments or leagues. Your Zone Director will share the Event List with you, and then you can go ahead, and apply.
Steps for Applying:
*******Registration is not complete until Susan P. receives the application PDF!*******
Registering for a tournament involves signing up your team entity (not specific players) for an event weeks or months in advance.
Checking-in for a tournament takes place about 2 weeks before the event and shows tourney officials which approved players are participating. It typically entails both inputting an EVENT roster and also uploading your OFFICIAL LEAGUE roster (and possibly player pass) PDFs. The EVENT roster includes any guest players and enables the tourney to generate game cards for referees. Your OFFICIAL LEAGUE roster proves your players are age appropriate. Since guest players are not on your OFFICIAL LEAGUE roster, passes for them also get uploaded to show they, too, are age appropriate.
There may be additional requirements such as completing a waiver or team info cover sheet. Tournaments will email specific check-in instructions to the team coach and manager. Completing the process generally only requires a couple of minutes.
Click HERE for instructions on building your EVENT roster.
Click HERE for instructions on uploading your OFFICIAL roster PDF.
All rosters now include the player’s picture except for ECNL and ECNL Regional teams. You may see that only the roster needs to be uploaded if it contains photos.
The FC DELCO OPERATIONS STAFF will handle scheduling referees for all HOME games through our Referee Assignor.
Referee fees are split between both opponents for ALL (home and away) league games. Referees are paid according to league guidelines and must be paid in cash and in the exact amount.
Your coach will submit a form for the appropriate amount to the club and be provided with the necessary funds. For a given game, it is good practice for the exact amount to be split between envelopes for the refs involved (Referee or Assistant Referee). The envelope should be marked with the date, your team name, the opponent and the amount included.
The number of referees for a game is determined by the team’s age. Specific structure and fees should be available on your league’s website.
