Before you begin
Attendance is taken per tryout registration and session. Make sure you are viewing the correct tryout registration for the date you are running.
Take attendance on web
Step 1: Open Take Attendance
In the left navigation, select Tryouts.
Open the tryout registration you are running.
Select Take Attendance.
If there are multiple attendance sessions configured, select the correct Session.
You will see a list of players, along with columns like Player Pool, jersey number, position, and an attendance control on the right.
Step 2: Use filters to find players faster
If you have a large list, use the filters at the top of the page to narrow what you are viewing before checking players in.
Common filters include:
Last Name to search for a specific player
Birth Year, Gender, and Grade to narrow to an age group
Attendance Status to show only players who are attended or not yet attended
Test Players to include or exclude test records
After setting your filters, click Search to refresh the list.
Tip: If you want to reduce what shows in the table, use Selected Fields to choose which columns are displayed.
Step 3: Mark a player as attended
To check a player in, select Attended on the far right of that player’s row.
Tip: The Attended button marks the player as attending that session.
Step 4: Add jersey number and primary position (optional, but recommended)
You can add details while checking the player in by opening the Player Information window.
You can open this window in two ways:
Select the pencil icon to open the Player Information window without changing attendance
Select Attended to mark the player as attended and open the same Player Information window
In the Player Information window, you can confirm and or update:
Primary Position (useful if you want to group or evaluate players by position)
Tryout Jersey Number
Jersey number formatting tips
Jersey numbers can be alphanumeric.
Enter numeric digits first, then any other characters to indicate color or group (example: 12B).
To ensure rating pages sort by jersey number accurately:
Use the same number of numeric digits for all jersey numbers.
Example: use 01, 02, 34, 99 instead of 1, 2, 34, 99.
Step 5: Export attendance data (optional)
To export the attendance list and player details:
Select Actions.
Select Export.
This exports your attendance data to a spreadsheet format that you can open in Excel.
Take attendance in the mobile app
Step 1: Open the tryout registration
In the mobile app, go to the your Staff (Coach, Director, Team Manager) tab.

Step 2: Mark a player as attended
Tap the radio button next to the player to mark them as attended.
In the Player Information window, you can confirm and or update:
