Team Management for Coaches

Player Management – Parent Approval

In an effort to ensure that parents remain involved with roster decisions involving their child, Nations

Baseball has created a process where parents can approve roster moves made by coaches. While this

process is currently voluntary, we will soon begin requiring Parent approval of rosters before the player

is legal to play in any sanctioned event with that team. Instructions are emailed to each coach when he

adds a player to his roster. This information should be forwarded to the parent when it is received.

The process of a parent approving a roster addition is very similar to a coach adding a player to his

roster. The parent must first create a login, just as the team manager created a login to register the

team, see instructions for creating a login.

Once the Parent has created a login and has logged into the Nations Baseball home page, under the

PARENT menu, choose PARENT ADMIN

Using the Add Your Child section, the parent should enter the information as it appears on the birth

certificate. This will make sure that the information matches the roster information that the coach

added. If the parent receives a screen that does not match any player in the system, then they are using

different information from the coach and will not be able to add the rostered player to their account

and approve the roster add. Parents should NOT create a new player.

If everything has been entered correctly, the parent should see a screen on the Player Search that

matches the player on your roster. In the following example, you will see the system located 2 potential

players. Choose the player that matches your roster by click the radial button next to their name and

clicking the Add Player button

The player will now appear on the Parent Admin page. The parent must confirm this is their child by

click the “CONFIRM” button next to their name and agreeing to Confirmation screen

Once they have confirmed the player as their child, they will see the player in the Roster Membership

sections.

Clicking the approve button provides an additional warning. By this we allow the parent to be fully

aware of the ramifications of adding their child to your roster.

The decline button will now disappear from the Parent Admin page and a check mark will appear on the

team’s online roster in the Parent Approval column.

If the parent does not agree to the roster move and clicks the Decline button, 1 of 2 things will happen.

1. If the team has not yet played a game, the player’s history will be completely removed from the

team and the team history will be completely removed from the player. It will be as if the player

never appeared on the roster at all

2. If the team has already played games, the player will be removed from the team’s roster,

however, the roster history will still appear on the player’s record and the player will still appear

in the Team’s Roster History page.
