Rosters for Travel Coaches

How to print out color rosters 
Once SSSL releases printable rosters, all coaches will be responsible for providing 2 copies of their printed, in color, rosters for EVERY GAME. (If
you use the player pass, you need 2 copies of their roster as well.)

​*Note that rosters are printed through the SSSL SportsPilot account which is
different from the QYS SportsPilot account. Logins are below.
​When it becomes available, (typically a week before the first game of the season), you can print your roster by:
  1. Clicking the link above for the SSSL login
  2. Login to your account using the SAME credentials you use for QYS SportsPilot
  3.  Under ‘Members’ --> Click on your name
  4. To the right you will see your ‘Registration History’ --> Click on your ‘2023 – Fall’ team
  5. Click on Reports
  6. Under ‘Reports’ --> Click on ‘SSSL Photo Roster’
We suggest printing 16-20 rosters and keeping them with your credentials. This way you only have to do this once and you'll have 2 ready for each game.​
Mass Youth Soccer provides session plans for all coaches to use which are grouped by player age and training themes. Note that all Mass Youth Soccer Session plans follow the US Soccer Grassroots Play-Practice-Play Methodology.

You can access session plans here. Scroll down and find the age appropriate to your team. If you believe that your players need more or less challenge, feel free to try Practice Plans in an older or younger age group. 

Coaching Apps

Mojo - Both in-house and travel coaches have access to the Mojo app for training sessions and planning. In addition, the QYS in-house program uses Mojo for games scheduling and for communications between players and coaches.

Quickclub is utilized by the QYS travel program only as it is the required platform for all towns in the South Shore Soccer League.

To Download & Sync Your Team's schedule, please follow these directions:
*Note you cannot download your schedule until it has become available on SSSL for the upcoming season. 
  1. Go to https://www.southshoresoccer.com/Schedules
  2. Under Program:  Choose the season you are trying to download. (i.e. SSSL-Fall-2024)
  3. Contest: Choose your division (If you don’t know it, you can view this in your SportsPilot account.)
  4. Once you choose a division, it will pop up below. Click on it.
  5. It will expand and show all the teams. Look for ‘QYS’ and your head coach’s name. Click on it.
  6. On the next page, at the top of your schedule, there will be a button to ‘Add to QuickClub’. (This step often works better from a desktop computer but does work via a smartphone as well.)
  7. If you already have an account, it will prompt you to login. If you don’t, download the app (on a smartphone) and then create an account using the same email address you use in SportsPilot.
  8. From here, you will be prompted to sync your schedule and then sync your roster. Do both.

If you have any problems downloading, please send an email to ​[email protected], but PLEASE try to do it first on your own.

Once this is downloaded, all your games will populate. (This can take up to 10 minutes. If it stalls out, you will need to try it again.)

Adding Your Practices: Once the QYS practice schedule becomes available, you can add these to Quickclub in a few easy steps by creating a ‘reoccurring event’.
  1. Navigate to the calendar at the bottom of your screen.
  2. Go to ‘Add Event’ (top of your screen).
  3. Enter ‘Skills Practice’ or ‘Team Practice’ depending on which you are adding first.
  4. Choose the date of your next practice adding start and end times. (Date should be the same.)
  5. Under ‘Repeat Event’ choose ‘Every Week’.
  6. Under ‘Repeat End Date’ choose the date 1 week after your last practice
  7. Enter the location.
  8. Click Done at the top right of the screen.
  9. Repeat for your other practice day.
