PLEASE READ: If you used TeamPass online player registration for your Spring 2024 season you do not need to submit your regular season team rosters. They are automatically associated with the National Database. You will only need to create your tournament rosters prior to your District Credentials meeting.
This guide is for leagues that franchise 18U, 15U, 12U, 10U, 8U and 6U regular season teams for Diamond Youth Softball (DYS) leagues who do not use TeamPass online registration software to create, submit and print regular season rosters. Regular Season rosters for leagues who do not register players online are created by downloading an Excel spreadsheet template and inserting in the template all players and coaches for all teams in the league.
Put all teams in one spreadsheet. Do not make a separate spreadsheet for each team. Do not leave blank rows between teams on spreadsheet. Once the spreadsheet is complete, select all rows and columns to copy and paste in the league’s roster upload page and click submit. All regular season coaches and players must be submitted on the league’s rosters to be eligible for tournament play. Tournament Rosters will be created from the league’s regular season team rosters of coaches and players only!
