How to Submit Online Entries

STEP 1—ACCESSING YOUR DIRECTATHLETICS ACCOUNT
Each coach must have a DirectAthletics username and password for his/her school. If you don’t know your username and password, you will be able to create one or retrieve your existing account by following the instructions below. You will use the same account to enter all meets run through DirectAthletics.

If you already have a DirectAthletics account for your Track & Field team, and know your username and password…. If you do NOT know your username and password….

1) Go to www.directathletics.com
2) In the login box, enter your username and password and click Login.

(Remember that your password is case-sensitive)
1) Go to www.directathletics.com
2) Click on the link “New User? Click HERE”.
3) Follow onscreen instructions. You will be able to create an account online or retrieve forgotten information for an existing account.


**NOTE ABOUT ACCOUNTS: Most coach accounts control a school’s Men’s AND Women’s team. You control only one gender at time, so you will complete the below steps for your Men, and then switch to your Women’s team and repeat the process (or vice versa). The team you are controlling is listed on the blue navigation bar across the top of your account, for example:

Sport: Track & Field Team: Plano East HS (M)

This indicates that you are controlling the Plano East HS MEN’S team (M=MEN). To switch to your Women’s team, you would select “Plano East HS (W)”.

STEP 2--SETTING UP YOUR ONLINE ROSTER
Before entering an athlete into a meet, you must add all attending athletes to your roster. If an athlete is already on your roster (from previous seasons or meets) you do not need to add him/her again.

5) You may add, edit or delete athletes on your Team Roster at anytime by clicking the TEAM tab. To add athletes, click the green “Add Athletes” link at any time. To delete or edit athletes, check the box to the left of each athlete(s) and then click the red “Delete Selected” link or the blue “Edit Selected” link respectively.

STEP 3--SUBMITTING ONLINE MEET ENTRIES
