How to Register a Player via the Public Registration Form

Intro

BallersBook provides a public registration form at /add-player/:clubId so parents can enroll their child without needing their own account. This is perfect for open-enrollment periods or when you want to streamline player intake. The form includes a team picker dropdown (where you select the group or team the player will join) and a passcode field to keep submissions secure. This guide walks you through the process from start to finish, whether you’re a parent registering for the first time or a club manager helping a parent over the phone.

Prerequisites

• A registration link provided by the club (e.g., https://app.ballersbook.com/add-player/abc123).
• The club’s player passcode (shared by the club separately; typically a short alphanumeric string).
• The player’s basic information (full name, date of birth, and contact details).

Step-by-step

1. Open the registration link in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox). This will take you directly to the club’s public player registration page.

2. Select the player’s team or group from the Team/Group dropdown. The list shows all active groups the club has defined. Choose the appropriate team (e.g., “U12 Boys”, “Recreational Coed”) - this is the public team picker mentioned in the operator’s note.

3. Enter the player’s details into the form fields:

• Player First Name
• Player Last Name
• Date of Birth
• Parent/Guardian Email (this will be used for communications)
• Parent/Guardian Phone (if required by the club)

4. Type the club’s player passcode into the Passcode field. This passcode is set by the club in their global settings and ensures only authorized parents can submit registrations. If you don’t have the passcode, contact the club administrator.

5. Click Submit Registration. After a successful submission, BallersBook will display a confirmation message. The player’s record is now created under that club and assigned to the selected group. You may also receive a confirmation email (if the club has enabled that notification).

Tips & Pitfalls

• 💡 Tip: If you don’t see the correct team in the dropdown, the club may need to add the group in their Groups settings first. Contact the club admin.

• ⚠️ Warning: The passcode is case-sensitive. Double-check for any typos before submitting.

• If the form does not load, verify the URL includes the correct club ID (the part after /add-player/). A broken link will show an error page.
• After submission, you cannot edit the player’s details through this public form. Changes must be made by a club admin in the Players section.
• This form is public and does not require you to log in. However, the passcode prevents unauthorized submissions.

Summary

You’ve now successfully registered a player using BallersBook’s public registration form. The player is added to the selected group and linked to the club. You can ask the club to confirm the enrollment or update additional details. If you need to register more players, simply repeat the steps - each submission creates a new player record.
