How do I register my team for an event?
If this is the first time you want to apply for a NorCal event for your team, apply through the posted  Public Link of the event you would like to apply for.
If your team has already applied to a NorCal event, submit an application for a subsequent event via your Team Page, otherwise you will create a duplicate for your team in the Demosphere system.

How to Access your Team Page?
For Team Managers and Coaches:
In order to access your Team Page, you select your Club from the Club Directory, then click on your Team. In the top right corner of the screen click on ’Team Login’. If you do not have a Pin # go ahead and request one then login. If the system does not recognize your email you will need to contact a current team contact or a club administrator and ask that they add you as a contact for your team.
You may add team contacts and apply for new NorCal events from your Team page, you can even have your team picture, update your team uniform colors, and much more.
If you have any questions about how to access your Team Page contact websitetech@norcalpremier.com

How to schedule a home game?
Useful Scheduling information for Team Managers and Club Schedulers. As a Team Manager or Coach, you are responsible for scheduling your ’Home’ games.

• To start the process, you will need to login to your Team Page and update Scheduling information.
• Once you have accessed your Team Page, your team’s schedule will be available and all your Home games will be opened for Edit.

Please adhere to the following NorCal scheduling rules:

(1) It is the Home Team’s responsibility to schedule all Home games, including confirmation of Date, Time and Field Location by the League established Timeline Deadlines.

(2) All Games can be played either Saturday or Sunday, or in any other date if agreed by both teams.

(3) All communication between team contacts regarding the scheduling of a game, like in the old web site, should be done via the online communication tool. Click on ’Log’ and edit your comments as remarks for communication purposes. When saving the system generates an email automatically and leaves a record of your update for audit trail purposes

(4) Remember the rule is  to respond to communication by opponents regarding Game Scheduling within 48 hours or sooner. Be responsive, be flexible, be patient. Arrange all your scheduling directly with opponents, no need to involve NorCal League Coordinator.

Also, please note that Demosphere has developed this custom functionality specifically for NorCal Premier Soccer and you might encounter errors, especially in this first season with the software. Please be patient and report any errors or bugs in the system ASAP so that we can forward to Demosphere for fixing. Also, any suggested improvements in the process or the tool that we might want to consider to make your job easier.

Some Clubs have a Club Scheduler eho will schedule all the home games for the Club in a centralized fashion. Club schedulers need to be registered as Club Officers with Full Club Admin rights. Once registered with Full Club Admin rights, Schedulers will then be able to Edit Club Home games by entering the Club Page and selecting ’Club Schedule’.

How do I create a roster for my team?  [US Club Soccer player data transfer to NorCal site]
In order to play NorCal Premier Soccer, all players need to have a valid US Club Soccer player card. In order to generate a team ID, roster and player cards within USCS for your team please ask your Club Registrar or visit www.usclubsoccer.org

Once your players are registered with US Club Soccer, you will need to create a roster in the NorCal web site for your team by selecting the players available in your Club Pool. Your Club Pool players will be available through a data transfer process between US Club Soccer and NorCal (Demosphere) systems.

In order to create your team roster go to your Team Page, select the ’Roster’ tab, then click on ’Add player’. Add your roster players one by one.

The Team roster will be used to automatically print in the Game Cards. So, unlike in the past, you do not need to print out and bring US Club Soccer rosters to match day.

Having official valid rosters as part of your Team Page in the NorCal web site will allow the implementation of Disciplinary Procedures that otherwise were difficult to track.

Any problems or questions reagarding this, please contact Eric Lafon at websitetech@norcalpremier.com

How to add jersey number to your roster?
Jersey #s can only be added to your roster by a Club Officer from the Club Page.

Please ask your Club Registrar or any other Club Officer with Admin Rights to follow the steps below:
1- Access / Login to your Club Page from the Club Directory
2- Click on Roster Administration
3- Select the appropriate League and then Team you want to update
4- Click on Edit Jersey #’s tab just above the roster

Note this is a work-around solution and Demosphere is currently working on adding the functionality to be able to add Player Numbers by the Team Managers from the Team Page.

For further question regarding this contact NorCal Roster Management support administration at Jason@norcalpremier.com
