A Discovery Player is a player that is not considered a full-time participant in the training environment of the ECNL Club to which he/she is registered. For more information on what qualifies a player as a Discovery Player, please refer to the ECNL Competition Rules.

Note: A player may play in the ECNL Regional League for a club that competes only in the ECNL Regional League (and not in the ECNL Club Competition) and also be a Discovery Player for another club competing in the ECNL Club Competition.

Step 1: Register the player with US Club Soccer via GotSport into the ECNL pass card/registration event and designate them as a DP player

Once the player is added and designated as a DP player in GotSport, follow the steps to register your DP player to ECNL league in Athlete One.

Step 2: Log into your Athlete One account and navigate to Associations.

Step 3: Select the 26-27 season registration bucket, the org and the team the player will be DPing for.

Note: If the player is not appearing on the team, check if they are in the unfinished player profiles section or if a returning player, confirm they are assigned to the appropriate team in club details.

Step 4: From your team list in associations, the player will be identified with a DP tag sent from GotSport.

Note: If a player's type looks wrong, the fix is at the GotSport status level, not in Athlete One's checkout screen. Update the player's status in GotSport and allow the sync to run before registering again.

Step 5: Select the checkbox next to each eligible player > click Register in the top-right corner of the page. A fly-out window will open.

Step 6: Confirm the player's Player Type shown in the fly-out is correct > Click Make Payment.

Step 7: A payment fly-out window will open. You can select an existing payment method on file, or click + Add a Credit or Debit Card > select Pay to process the payment.
