When a parent or player says they cannot see a registration to sign up, the cause is almost always a visibility rule, an invitation setup issue, or capacity.
This article is a quick checklist of the most common blockers and where to check them.
1) Program Dates or Registration Dates Are Not Open
What families see
The program does not show in Open Programs.
What to check
Program Start Date and End Date
Registration Start Date and End Date
Where to check
Programs > Manage Programs
Open the Program and confirm Start/End Dates
Programs > Manage Programs > Registrations
Open the Registration and confirm Start/End Dates under the registration’s setup (Basic Info)
How to fix
Update the Program dates and the Registration dates so the current date falls within both windows.
2) Grouped Registrations Behavior Is Misunderstood
What families see
The program shows, but they do not see any registration options.
What to check
Grouped registrations are enabled at the Program level
The registration is assigned to the correct Registration Group
The registration is within its active date window
Where to check
Program settings for Grouped Registrations
Registration Display Settings for Registration Group and Sort Order
Registration Start/End Dates
How to fix
Ensure the registrations are assigned to the correct group and have open dates.
Consider adding helpful Program-level Details if parents need guidance while drilling into grouped options.
3) Invitational Program Is Not Fully Set Up
What families see
A family expects to accept an invitation, but nothing appears to accept.
What’s happening
Invitational visibility depends on the team invitation flow. The system needs to know which registration applies to the invited team.
What to check
The player is rostered onto the intended team
The team is linked to the correct registration
The invitation has been sent
The parent is logging in under the same account that received the invitation
Where to check
Programs > Manage Programs > Program > Teams / Rosters (as applicable)
Registration setup where teams are assigned to registrations for Invitational programs
How to fix
Add the player to the correct team.
Make sure that team is tied to the correct registration.
Resend the invite if needed and confirm the login account matches the invited email.
4) Registration Is Full and There Is No Waitlist
What families see
The registration previously appeared but now is no longer available to select.
What to check
Total Max Capacity
Whether Enable Waitlist is checked
Where to check
Registration > Max Capacity tab (Step 6)
How to fix
If your club wants to keep accepting interest:
Enable the waitlist
If you want to allow more registrations:
Increase Total Max Capacity
Otherwise, leave capacity as is and communicate the registration is full.
5) Registration Does Not Match the Intended Flow
What families see
The program appears but the registration experience does not match what the club intended (or there is nothing meaningful to complete).
Examples
A Team Registration Form is used when the club expects player signups
Where to check
Registration > Registration Form tab (confirm form type)
Program type and Training Sessions connection to time slots (as applicable)
How to fix
Attach the correct form type (Player vs Team vs Training Sessions) to the registration.
For Training Sessions, ensure time slots are configured and connected properly.
