ONE SHARED SEASON STRUCTURE

Six stages. Three roles. One connected season.

The handbooks, Digital Vault and Team HQ use the same roadmap, so Managers, Coaches and Trainers can find their work without learning three different systems.

1 Pre-Tryouts Appoint the core staff, accept tryout registrations, book ice and establish the season's official requirements.
2 Tryouts & Team Formation Evaluate players, communicate decisions and turn the selected group into an eligible, contactable team.
3 Pre-Season Prepare families, practices, people, equipment, travel, finances and safety before the regular schedule begins.
4 Regular Season Run the recurring practice, game, development, communication, finance and safety work of the season.
5 Playoffs Confirm eligibility and logistics, then prepare each game and series without losing the team's normal controls.
6 Post-Season Recognize contributors, review the year and close property, finances, records, access and handoffs.
Tournaments & Travel A cross-season workspace for event selection, entry, rooming, meals, schedules, transport, call-ups and away-venue safety.
