PSO leagues strive to make every child a champion. Therefore, PSO coaches are led to encourage, motivate, and build each child’s self-esteem as well as his or her athletic ability.
Coach Registration
All head coaches must register online each season (registration is free). Please read through the directions below on how to register. This process will register you as the head coach and will sign up your team.
Assistant coaches no longer need to register in Sports Connect.
Those coaching more than one team must select all divisions in which they are coaching and list all teams during the registration process.
Mandatory Volunteer/Coach Screening Process
At Prestonwood Baptist Church, we are committed to creating a safe environment, free from abuse of any kind. Therefore, we require all staff members and volunteers to be approved through a two-step process:

Steps for Head Coaches to Register
- Create a new account if you have never logged in or log in with existing credentials by using the buttons at the top right of the page.
- Click on "Coach Sign Up" above, and then click on "Volunteer Now."
- Select the division(s) in which you want to coach. If you coach more than one team, please select all the divisions that apply, and then click "Continue" at the bottom of the page.
- Select yourself to be the head coach.
- Enter your remaining information. This is where you will enter your team name.
- Your team page is created! Go to your team page and click on the "Roster" tab. Then click on the "Manage Roster Invites" button. From here you can invite players to your team by entering their e-mail address. This page also tells you how many players have joined your team and what the minimum and maximum players per team are. Plus, the team code is on this page. You can pass out this code to anyone you would like to join your team. When you enter e-mail addresses on this page, each e-mail will already include the team code. Please tell your parents not to pass out the team code to invite others. Only you should invite players to your team. They should send friends that they want on the team to you.
- Coaches, keep in mind that there is a maximum number of players per team. If you played in our league last season, you must invite all of your players back to play for you. If you have an open spot, you can fill it with a new player of your choice; however, in most cases, any player that played on another team in our league last season is not eligible to play on your team. Please read the rules (link below) for complete details.
