   • If this setting is left unchecked, all team assignments will need to be made on the management side by staff
7. To add coaches to a team, select a Coach/Instructor from the drop-down menu, you can also search by the Coach/Instructor Assignment Type
   • You must mark the individual as a coach for them to appear in the drop-down

Assigning a Coach/Instructor

1. The instructor must have a public household account with your site
   • They must be a member user in their household
2. Once they have set up an account, you can make them a coach/instructor
3. This is done by going to their member page (View/Search Members > click on the Member Name) from the management side

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

6. Next, go to the program > activity that you would like them to coach and click on the activity
7. 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

8. 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. 

5. Click Submit 
   • This process is repeated until all teams have been created for the activity

Note: If a team is full, Management can override and overfill the team on the management side only. The public does not have this ability.
