How do I activate my account?
Your club will provide us with their list of coaches and team managers for each team. We will add you. Once you’ve been added, you’ll receive an automated email to accept the team invitation: ‘To accept the invitation, click here.’
If this is your first time with the Coliseum, you’ll be asked for a password. Once done (or if you already have an account from previous years) you’ll be redirected to your team page to accept the waiver and team assignment.

How do I add players, coaches and/or team managers to my roster?

Why do some/all players still show as ‘outstanding requests’?
There are a couple possibilities:
- We haven’t approved them yet. It’s a busy time of the year, so please allow for a 3-4-day turnaround.
- EODSA haven’t approved them yet. We only approve players that have been approved by the EODSA
- The player(s) do not have their picture/headshot on the OS roster
Roster Freeze
Friday, January 10th is the final day to make changes to your roster. As of Saturday, January 11th changes can no longer be made.
We encourage teams to get the ball rolling on any changes they want to make at least a week before the deadline. Putting through a change requires action by a team manager, their club, EOS and the Coliseum. Because of this the process can take multiple days. Do not wait until the 11th hour!!
What is a roster freeze and how does it affect our team?
-
As of 12:00AM on January 11th, players are frozen to the roster they're on. This means they can no longer be added, removed, or transferred to another roster/team for the remainder of the Coliseum season
-
Players playing between January 11 and the end of the season must be on a Coliseum Team Roster Report (TRR) in Sports Engine (not a call up roster, tournament team, etc.). Players that are not registered to a Coliseum TRR will be deemed ineligible.
How do we make changes?
-
Contact your club registrar and let them know which players need to be moved
-
Once they’ve done this, shoot us an email to let us know which players have been moved
-
Once the EODSA has approved the changes in Sports Engine we'll make adjust your Coliseum roster(s)
Are call ups permitted in the playoffs?

A team may not call up an outfield player that is registered to another team in their division.
-
Tier 2 players are able to play down an age group, to a tier 1 team if they meet the age requirement (i.e., a U15T2-registered, U14-aged player can play up to a U14T1 team). Players registered to a tier 1 team cannot play down to a lower age classification, even if they meet the age requirements.
-
'House League Rosters' are a lower classification than Coliseum teams. Players registered to a House League Roster may be called to any Coliseum team they meet the age requirements for (i.e., a player registered to a U14 House League Roster can be called up to any U14 or older team).

Game Sheets
Game sheets are printed by the league. There is only one game sheet per game, which will have both teams’ rosters listed on it. Games sheets will be available at the front desk - just inside the entrance of the dome to your right.
Here are the reasons you’ll need to update your gamesheet:
-
Jersey numbers: You haven’t added them yet or there are changes
-
Callups: Callups must be handwritten on the bottom section of the gamesheet
-
Absent players: players that won’t be at the game must have their name crossed out. If you’re not sure whether a player will be attending or not, wait until halftime to cross their name out.
If your jersey numbers have already been added to the website, you don’t have any callups, and all of your players are expected to be there, you can go straight to enjoying the action.
Most importantly… ALL players that are playing must be listed on the gamesheet!
