Hello NISL Board of Directors,

The "Collaborative Scheduler" is now open and will remain open all season long.

The games will automatically lock within 5 days of the scheduled game time. If in the event of an emergency you still need to change a game time within the 5 days, you will have to email the league and the usual late reschedule policy will apply. 

The Collaborative Scheduler is located in every Admin account under the "Leagues" tab, in the "S2019 BOYS - 04 - CLUB/CONF DIVISION" event.

Instructions for the Scheduler are located here: http://northernillinoissoccerleague.com/index.php/u-s-soccer-connect/u-s-soccer-connect-tutorials/u-s-soccer-connect-collaborative-schedules

 SCHEDULING GUIDELINES:

1. Each Home Game needs to be updated with your team's preferred Game Day, Time, and Field Location. You can update this information immediately and then begin to contact your opposing teams to start scheduling. 
2. When changing your game day, please do notmove the game to a different week without first emailing your opposing team asking for their approval. The schedules are laid out to give each team one game a week. By moving a game to a different week you will be doubling up your opposing team's schedule, so make sure to check with them first.
3. If both teams agree to a date or time change, you can play your game whenever you wish, including during the week.
4. Each Home Game MUST have a Home Location/Field selected individually and saved into the Scheduler. Without a location, the referees will not be know where the game is being played! The Field Locations are located inside your "Locations" tab. 
5. You can email your opposing team by clicking on the little blue envelope that is directly next to each team name. (Schedules and Contact Sheets will also be emailed individually to each team contact over the next few days)
6. Only Club Representatives with "Admin" access will be able to use the Scheduler. You club has full control over who has this access. If you have any questions regarding Administrator access, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. 
7. If you are not hearing back from another club promptly, email us by clicking the blue envelope under the "League" column in the Collaborative Scheduler and we will try to find an alternate contact for you.
8. Please note, Easter is on Sunday, April 21^st and Memorial Day Weekend includes May 25^th and May 26^th. You may have games initially scheduled on these dates, so please adjust games accordingly if you do not wish to play games on these dates.

 ADDITIONAL INFO: 

- The Mandatory DOC and Administrator meeting will be held on March 13th at the Wyndham Garden Schaumburg from 7pm – 9pm.

- We will only print passes for your club upon request. Passes are not needed for any NISL League games, but your club may be participating in Tournaments that require them. If that is the case, please email us with at least one week advance notice with the team or player names of the passes you require.

- For those advancing in the Chicago Cup, the third round of games will be in the system this week.

If you need any online assistance related to your US Soccer Connect accounts, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
