Team Contact Registrations & Renewals

All Club & Team Officials of SPL member clubs must register/renew on the SPL Contact System each season. This enables the league to send relevant communications as well as allowing teams officials to view opposition details in a secure directory.

Each individual must register themselves and keep their information accurate and up to date at all times.

It also allows members to view contacts that are relevant to them such as opposition information for fixtures through a members-only directory only accessible through a login created by the member. You will be able to consent to relevant information being shared when you register/renew on this system and can edit your record at any time or ask to be archived or deleted.

The information in this system must only be used for SPL fixture purposes and not shared.

Other features within the system allow a team official to opt in to tournament distribution lists and age group distribution lists.

If you were a Club or Team Official last season, you simply need to sign in, update your previous record for the coming season and renew.
