Player Registration

The Player Registration process through Backspin provides parish programs with a consistent and secure way to register athletes for CYO participation.

Parents complete registration online through their parish program’s registration portal using Diocese-approved forms, waivers, and payment tools.

Quick Summary

Parents can use the registration portal to:

  • Register athletes for CYO programs and divisions
  • Complete required forms and waivers
  • Submit emergency and medical information
  • Make secure online payments
  • Receive program communication and updates

Parish Registration Portals

Each parish program has its own registration portal within the Backspin system.

While the Diocese provides a common registration framework, parish programs maintain control over their own:

  • Registration dates
  • Program offerings
  • Pricing and fees
  • Division availability
  • Custom questions and policies

This structure allows programs to maintain local flexibility while supporting consistent Diocese-wide processes.

Online Forms and Waivers

During registration, parents complete the forms and acknowledgements required for participation.

Depending on the program, registration may include:

  • Participant information
  • Emergency contacts
  • Medical information
  • Liability waivers
  • Code of conduct acknowledgements
  • Uniform sizing or program-specific questions

Backspin manages the digital registration workflow so information can be securely collected and organized online.

Payments and Registration Status

Programs may collect registration fees through secure online payment processing integrated into the registration system.

  • Pay online by credit card
  • View registration confirmations
  • Receive emailed receipts and communication
  • Track registration status

Payment setup and pricing decisions are managed by the individual parish program.

Benefits of Centralized Player Registration

  • Simplify player registration for families
  • Reduce paperwork and manual data entry
  • Maintain organized digital records
  • Improve communication with parents
  • Standardize required forms and waivers
  • Support accurate roster and eligibility management
