How do I register as a team official, and what am I responsible for?

Your club must register you through Ontario Soccer's registration system: each team head coach and each assistant coach must be registered by their club, and each team official must be registered with Ontario Soccer through the registration system.

• You are responsible for the team you are assigned to.
• Only a team official who meets the certification requirements for that age, division and classification can take part in a game, be listed on the team match day roster and be in the team's bench area.
• Each club team may have team managers, assistant managers, assistant coaches, goalkeeper coaches and fitness coaches as team officials.
• Team officials are the people who produce the photo roster at competitions (see the match day roster question).
