Effective June 1, 2026, all staff registrations must begin within the GotSport platform in order to obtain US Club Soccer staff approval.  ECNL league approval will continue within the Athlete One platform, requiring all staff to be registered and approved with the league before they can be rostered for an ECNL, ECNL RL, or Pre-ECNL match.

Step 1: Register staff with US Club Soccer via GotSport into the ECNL pass card/registration event.

Once registered in GotSport, the staff data will automatically sync to Athlete One where ECNL league registration will be completed.

Note: GotSport and Athlete One accounts are matched based upon staff legal name, DOB, and gender.

Step 2: After uploading and submitting staff members in GotSport, navigate to the Athlete One platform and log into your club account. Click Here

Select My Accounts > Club Account > Select Your Club.



Step 3: From the left-hand navigation, select 'Associations' and select 'Unfinished Staff Profiles'.  If the staff member does not already have an Athlete One account, adding them in GotSport will automatically create a new staff account in Athlete One.  These staff accounts will need to be completed here prior to the staff member appearing under the league registration bucket.

The staff member will appear on the list of Unfinished Profiles until all remaining information is completed, including:
  • Staff photo
  • Email address
  • Role Assignment
Note: Once a staff member’s profile is completed, they will appear in their team’s registered association to proceed with submitting them for League carding.

Step 4: Select the organization where you would like to register staff.

Note: New registrations for 2025-2026 season, submit staff in the 2025-2026 GotSport season bucket.



Step 5: Select 'Staff Reg' link listed within the league.
