Looking for instructions for team officials (coaches, managers) to manage Assignments?

See the "Assignment Management (Team Officials)" article here.

Members (parents/guardians, and players) can now be assigned by a team official to a particular task at an event (e.g. half-time snacks or net setup/teardown for a game). They can also self-assign themselves to a task for an event, or decline an assignment that a team official assigned to them.

Use the links below to jump to a specific section.

On the Web

Assignments for individuals are presented and managed in the PowerUp Member Zone. Guardians and players can see their assignments in three places:

1. On the Home page, in the player widget for the next event, presented under the Attendance box (if applicable). It includes the assignment type and the note (underneath) that may have been entered by the team official.
2. On the Team Hub page, under the Schedule tab
3. On the Team Hub page, under the Assignments tab

Members may have been directly assigned and notified of an Assignment by team staff, which they can either accept (no action needed) or decline, or they can self-assign to pre-set Assignment Tasks.

NOTE: All assignments are publicly visible. All volunteers can see each other in the event listing.

Once on the Assignments tab:

1. Accept an Open Assignment: Click on the yellow hand icon to accept the assignment

2. Self-Assign to an Unlisted Task
   1. Click the Volunteer button of the desired event
   2. Select the desired assignment type
   3. Click the Save button

3. Decline an Assignment: click the red X on the assignment
   1. If the member was assigned by a team official, the assignment reverts to an open assignment
   2. If the member self-assigned to the assignment, the assignment is deleted
