**The January 16 Roster Freeze is only applicable to U14 through U18 teams. It does NOT apply to U12 & U13 grassroots teams**
This year's roster freeze is around the corner, in just nine (9) days from now on Friday, January 16 at 12:00PM.
-
As of next Friday afternoon, changes can no longer be made to your TRRs. Existing players cannot be transferred to another team, and new players can no longer be registered.
-
Additionally, starting Jan 17, players on 'House League' or non-Coliseum TRRs are no longer eligible to play in Coliseum games. All players playing in league games from January 17 to March 1 must be registered to a club's Coliseum TRR (more info on what that means below)
We encourage teams to get the ball rolling on any changes they need to make immediately. Putting through a change requires action by a team manager, their club, Eastern Ontario Soccer (EOS) and the Coliseum. Because of this the process can take multiple days. Do not wait until the 11th hour!!
What is a TRR?
A TRR is a 'Team Roster Report'. This is the official Ontario Soccer Roster that your club provides you with - all players and coaches are listed on it with each individual's photo in the top right corner. Only your club officials have access to it.
How do we know if we need to make changes?
- Check your TRR (if you do not have it, contact your club). If all of the players that will be playing between Jan 17 and the end of the season are on it, you're all set and can disregard the rest of this email
- If you plan on using call ups, be sure they are registered with your club to a lower-level Coliseum TRR
- If you don't have your TRR, aren't sure which TRR a player is registered to, or have any questions regarding your TRR(s), contact your club
How do we make changes?
- Contact your club registrar and let them know which players need to be moved. They will put through the changes to the appropriate TRRs in Sports Engine
- The changes will be reviewed by EOS
- Add the new player(s) to the Coliseum website. If they have not been approved after 72 hours, follow up with your club. It could be a range of things such as the change might not have been put through by the club yet, or not yet approved by EOS, or denied by EOS for another reason
- Once EOS has approved the changes in Sports Engine we'll review and approve the change(s)
Are callups permitted from January 17 onward?
- Yes, but the player you're calling up must be registered to a lower-level Coliseum TRR (i.e., not a House League, Tournament or Rec TRR)
- Players on a House League/Tournament/Rec TRR cannot be called up to play in any Coliseum League games
The information above has been passed on to club officials. If you're not sure of the status of your players or have any questions, contact your club official or the league at admin@coliseum.ca
Thanks,
- Your Coliseum Team
