Confirm that a player has left, on your phone

When a coach or a parent tells the club that a player is leaving, you can confirm it on your phone. The payments after the leaving date stop, and the player's place in the squad is free again.

Before you start

You need the Enter teams into seasons and approve registrations permission. The club owner can give it to you.

To open the club app from the full site, select App at the top of the screen.

Confirm a leave

1. In the club app, select Inbox, then To do.
2. Select Players leaving. Each row says who reported it, for example "Reported by the coach: left on Sat 3 Oct".
3. Select the player.
4. Check the Leaving date. It starts from the coach's date, or today. Change it if you need to.
5. Check what the family still owes by that date.
6. Type the reason in Why are they leaving?.
7. Select Confirm the leave.

The list opens again. The family gets an email with the leaving date and anything still owed. Remember to remove the player from the FA Club Portal too.

A leave cannot be undone.

Common questions

Why did the screen ask me to confirm again?

You changed the leaving date. The amount owed depends on the date, so the screen shows the new amount first. Check it, then select Confirm the leave again.

The family still owes money. What can I do?

Select Email contacts about this balance to email the family about it. A leave with money owed needs someone who can override payments, such as your treasurer. They see a box to leave the player anyway.

Can I confirm a leave in the full site instead?

Yes. The full site uses the same rules and sends the same email.
