All-Clubs Webinar Prepares Coaches, Managers, and Administrators for the Season
CJSL Reference Guide For Coaches and Managers
The Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League (CJSL) kicked off the fall season with an energetic and informative All-Clubs Webinar, led by League Director Dimitrie Draguca and Director of League Club Development Ron Restrepo. The session equipped coaches, managers, and administrators with essential tools, tips, and best practices to ensure a smooth and compliant season across all CJSL clubs.
The purpose of the meeting was clear: to give club members the confidence and knowledge needed to manage rosters and match-day operations in GotSport, the league’s official platform. Attendees were shown step-by-step demonstrations of how to access, create, and print official team and match-day rosters, along with guidance on compliance and documentation.
Key Takeaways from the Webinar
Roster Access and Compliance: Coaches and managers learned how to pull official rosters, with a strong reminder that only compliant coaches—those who have completed their background checks, SafeSport certification, and concussion training—will appear on the roster. Proper headshots and ID numbers for players and coaches are also mandatory.
Match-Day Cards and Features: Participants were guided through creating match-day rosters, including adding and managing club pass players, and using the helpful “clone previous match roster” feature to prepare for the season in advance. Each roster should be printed in duplicate—one copy for the referee and one for the opponent.
Administrative Insights: From the administrator’s perspective, Draguca demonstrated how the league tracks registration and roster approvals, showing examples of pending coach and player requirements. Restrepo reinforced the importance of regularly updating player photos and keeping documents current.
Coaches Cheat Sheet: A new resource for clubs was unveiled—a Coaches Reference Guide available via QR code and email. This handy guide provides quick access to critical information including roster rules, referee fees, match standards by age group, and links to fan conduct guidelines and match-day reminders.
Throughout the session, both Draguca and Restrepo emphasized compliance as a cornerstone of a safe and organized season, while also offering practical strategies to simplify match-day responsibilities. They closed the meeting by encouraging all clubs to reach out with questions and by wishing everyone a successful fall campaign.
With a strong focus on preparation, organization, and accountability, the All-Clubs Webinar underscored the CJSL’s commitment to providing every coach, manager, and administrator with the tools they need to help players thrive on and off the field.
