Using Affinity – A Cheat Sheet
Affinity Soccer is the system used by PA West to handle registrations and scheduling. It tracks you (and your clearances) and your team. It contains everything you need to be an eligible coach, player team for MLSA.
There are four basic functions on Affinity Soccer you need to be aware of as a coach:
1. Entering your players' jersey numbers- this is not required, but comes in handy! You only need to do this once, at the beginning of the season, but it makes you look prepared and it's pretty easy to do. NOTE: currently, this information resets every season, so you need to redo this at the beginning of both fall and spring.
