To login to the WYSA website as a Coach you will use your email address and your password.  (You no longer have a separate password for each team.)   If you don't remember your password enter only your email address and leave your password blank.  The system will email you a link to reset your password.
 

• Go to the WYSA website www.westfordyouthsoccer.com
• In the top right corner of the website click on the box that says "Sign IN+"
• Enter your email address in the box on the left
  • If you did not enter your password correctly you will see "Please Log In" and a login box.  Reenter your name and password and click on Submit.
  • If you still are unable to login see troubleshooting below.
  • Then if you are still unable to login email   for assistance.
• If you have logged in correctly in the top right corner you will see a welcome banner with your name, "Admin" and "Sign Out"
• You can click on "Admini" to see the Admin menu bar.  You can perform functions from this page or from your team page.
• TROUBLESHOOTING:
  • If you can sign in but can not see your team's roster, check the following:
    • At the top right corner of the screen it should say "Welcome" and your name.  If it has your spouse's name your account has the same email address for both you and your spouse
    • To fix this either change one of the email addresses (best solution) or if this is not an option make sure that the password for your information has a different password from your spouse's account.  To update your information:

• Now login at the top right of the screen with your new information and you should be all set.

TEAM ATTENDANCE
Coaches can poll their players for attendance at future games and practices.  On the Team Schedule page you will see a "thumbs up" icon.  Click on this icon to view the attendance responses.  Initially all team members will be listed under the "No Response" column.  Each of the 3 columns (Attending, Not Attending and No Response) have an envelope icon.  Click on the icon in the Attending or Not Attending column to send an email to all members listed in that column.  Click on the icon in the "No Response" column to send/resend the RSVP email to any members listed in this column.

Click on the "Email No Response" button.  This will send an email to all team members with "I'm In"  and "I'm Out" buttons.  The players click on one of the two buttons in the email.  Their name will be moved to the appropriate column. 

If you know that a player will or will not be attending you can indicate their attendance by clicking on either the green thumbs up icon (for attending) or the red thumbs down icon (for not attending).
