The registration is not ready. The Waiting on column says why:
This team asks a coach to check each registration before the club official does. The registration waits until a coach selects Endorse. If a coach does not act, you can select Endorse in the three dots menu instead.
Each team has its own setting. To change it, edit the team and choose under Who approves registrations. If you choose Secretary approves alone, registrations that wait for a coach come to you at once.
You cannot approve the registration until the family pays this season's fee, unless the fee schedule is pay as you go. The status shows Awaiting payment until then.
Select Registrations in the menu, then FA Club Portal entry. Select Open beside the player. The page shows the photo and the proof of identity. It lists the players who are ready for you.
In the registration queue, the three dots menu on a row also has Download photo and Download proof of identity.
You get one zip file. Each file has the name of the player and their date of birth, for example Smith_Jack_14-03-2015.jpg. A proof of identity ends in _ID. Upload each file to the player on the FA Club Portal.
Use FA Club Portal entry. When you select Tick off, Sideline records that the player is registered on the FA Club Portal, with the date and your name. The player's record shows it under FA Club Portal.
If you confirmed the registration from the queue, open the player in Players and select Mark as registered on the FA Club Portal.
Sideline skips games in the past, games with no date yet, and games between two other clubs. A game is skipped as another club's game when neither team name contains your club's name. It tells you how many it skipped.
FA Full-Time shows 07:00 for a game with no kickoff time yet. Sideline treats that as not set and shows Time TBC. When the league sets a real time, import the page again.
A postponed or void game that is not in Sideline is not added. A game you already have is listed under In Sideline but no longer on Full-Time, so you decide what to do.
Yes. Sideline does not add a game twice. It changes the kickoff time of a game you have not put on a pitch, and it tells you about the others.
Sideline says so and imports nothing. Save the page again from FA Full-Time. A page that says "Attention Required" is a "check your browser" page, not your fixtures. Open the fixtures page, wait for it to load, and save it again.
A season is the stretch of time your teams play and parents sign up for, for example 2026/27, 1 August to 31 May. Fees, teams and registrations all belong to a season. Most clubs pick the shared season. Name your own only for something with different dates, for example a summer league.
Yes. Each workbook adds new records. It cannot change a team, league or fee that already exists. If a row uses a name that is already in use, the check page tells you.
Add the coach to the Officials tab with the same email address, or ask them to join your club first. Then check the file again.
Undo the whole set-up from the result page or from Recent bulk changes. Sideline keeps anything that is already in use. You can also change any single record on its own screen.
A new club must finish the first five steps of the setup wizard first. Only an owner can use Sideline until then. Ask an owner of your club to finish the set-up.
FA Full-Time is where leagues publish fixtures, results and tables. Sideline matches your fixtures on FA Full-Time by the team names and your club's name. If a name is different, the fixtures for that team do not match.
Keep the dates the wizard shows, for example 1 September to 31 May. Sideline does not start the season on the day you set up.
Yes. Choose Add this fee again on the Fees step for each extra fee, for example one payment for the season and monthly subs. A parent picks one of them. A registration fee is a separate one-off fee with This is a registration fee, paid on top of the plan they pick ticked. Parents do not pick it. They pay it when they register, on top of their plan.
A team opens to parents when it has an affiliation number and a head coach who has registered. Add what is missing on the team, and the team opens.
