Session Info and Recording
Thank you for joining us to learn about setting up coaches and instructors within MyRec.com. This session offered a walkthrough of the designation of members as coaches/instructors, adding coaches/instructors to an activity or to a team, viewing the information from the public side, and using the applicable reports for information on these assignments. We hope this session will help you with your activity setups and reclaim some of the time you previously spent printing and emailing information to your coaches/instructors. If you have any questions, reach out for more information from our Client Services team.
March Lunch and Learn Recording
Getting Started
Assigning a Coach/Instructor
- The instructor must have a public household account with your site
- They must be a member user in their household
- Once they have set up an account, you can make them a coach/instructor
- This is done by going to their member page (View/Search Members > click on the Member Name) from the management side

- Then click Edit Member at the top of their member page
- About halfway down, you’ll see a checkbox Member is a coach/instructor, select this box

- Next, go to the program > activity that you would like them to coach and click on the activity
- From the basic info tab, click view/add coaches & instructors (towards the top of the basic info area and to the right) to add them as a coach
- If you add coaches here at the activity level, they can be given the option to add/edit scores, which coaches added at the team level (in the team/group tab) cannot access
- Head coaches have more permissions available than other coaches, so be sure to assign the Type from the drop down
- If you want a coach to have roster access, you must designate the coach as a Head Coach
- Head coaches have more permissions available than other coaches, so be sure to assign the Type from the drop down
- If you add coaches here at the activity level, they can be given the option to add/edit scores, which coaches added at the team level (in the team/group tab) cannot access
- Just beside the link to add the coaches, you can edit their permissions
- This allows you to give them access to additional info, like registrant email addresses

Now the coach/instructor can access the rosters and additional info from their public account overview by clicking on the soccer ball icon for rosters.

Repeat steps 1-4 to assign multiple coaches to an activity. Assign coaches at the team level using the Team/Group tab for coaches with fewer permissions.
Coach / Instructors Video
The following video shares important tips and steps for using coach and instructor assignments on your activities and programs.

Use this convenient, printable guide for your coaches/instructors to learn how to access their rosters and more.
Public User Guide for Coaches/Instructors
This guide is designed for the public customer to use when accessing their coach information. This guide is not for the department staff to use in setting up coaches. If you need to add access for a coach/instructor, please see the article Assigning a Coach/Instructor.

Rosters for Coaches & Instructors
The Rosters icon brings you to a page that shows all of the activities and/or team sports to which you are assigned.

(Please note: mobile device viewing will not have the soccer ball icon. Please use the Utilities menu to find your rosters instead.)
Each activity or team will show a list containing any of the following links
- View Roster: Provides all player information with filtering abilities across the top of the page. It is ideal for carrying to games along with Emergency Cards

- For email privacy, place your own email address in the To field and the player addresses in the "BCC" field
-
Text Message Roster: Displays a list of player mobile phone numbers. This can be copied and pasted into the Recipients field in any email message. Keep your message to less than 160 characters
- Place your email address in the “To” field and the player addresses in the “BCC” field. If you do not see this field, ask for assistance
- Keep your text content under 160 characters
- Manage Teams and Team Rosters: Allows the head coach of a sport to create teams, and assign coaches and players to those specific teams
