Use the Team Manager Portal for your tournament entry
Open the link Playlee sends after you enter, finish entrant onboarding with your club, team, squad and kit, then keep players, guardians and match scores up to date from the portal.

Before you start
- A team entry sent through the tournament’s signup page, or added by the organiser
- Access to the email address (or mobile number) given as the team manager’s contact
The short answer
After your team enters, Playlee emails (and texts, if you gave a mobile number) each team manager a secure link. Open it, sign in or create your account, and work through Entrant Onboarding. After that, the Team Manager Portal shows what still needs doing for each entry.

What you will do
You will open your manager link, confirm your club and team details, add your squad and kit colours, and send them to the organiser for approval.
After that, the Team Manager Portal is where you keep the entry up to date: players and their guardians, payment, extra managers and, if the organiser allows it, match scores.
Before you start
- The manager link lasts 14 days and works once. After you have used it, sign in to Playlee as normal to get back to the portal.
- If the person who filled in the signup form is not the team manager, they get their own link too.
- If your link has run out or never arrived, ask the organiser to send a new one. They can do this until your onboarding is complete.
- Your Playlee account works across every tournament, so a later entry joins the same portal.
How to do it
- 1
Open your manager link
The page shows the tournament and your entry. If you already have a Playlee account with that email, select Continue to Entrant Onboarding. If not, enter your Full Name and Create Password, then select Create Account and Continue.

Work through Entrant Onboarding
Go through Club, Team, Players, Kit and Review, selecting Next each time. Add each player’s first and last name. Some tournaments require player names before you can carry on. Set your shirt, shorts and socks colours on the Kit step.
Good to know: Select Save Draft at any point to keep your progress and come back later. - 3
Send it to the organiser
On Review, check everything and select Complete Onboarding. Playlee takes you to the Team Manager Portal. The entry still needs the organiser’s approval.
- 4
Clear what still needs doing
Each entry has a What still needs doing list, such as payment, missing players or guardians without contact details. If an online payment is due, start it from the entry. Contact and affiliation details can still be corrected under Club and Team Details.
Good to know: Once onboarding is submitted, Kit Confirmation only shows your colours. If they need to change, ask the organiser. - 5
Keep players and guardians up to date
Under Players and Guardians, use Add Player for new squad members. Under each player, use Add Guardian for a parent or carer, then Send Invite Link to email them a link to confirm their own details and preferences.

Submit match scores, if the organiser allows it
Once your entry is approved and the organiser has switched on team score submissions, your kicked-off fixtures appear under Match results. Enter both scores and select Submit score. When both teams send the same score it is recorded as Agreed by both teams. Different scores show as Result in dispute until the organiser decides.
Check you are ready
- Onboarding is submitted for every entry, with the right club, team name and kit colours.
- Every player on the squad list has at least one guardian with an email address or phone number.
- Guardian invites have been sent to anyone who needs to confirm their details.
- Payment is settled. Paid does not mean approved: the organiser still has to accept the entry.
- Anyone else helping you run the team has been added under Collaboration.
If something looks wrong
If something looks wrong
If the organiser or a referee has already entered a result, the fixture no longer appears under Match results and their score stands. Speak to the organiser on the day if you think it is wrong.
Common problems
My link says it has expired or has already been used
Each link lasts 14 days and works once. If you have already created your account, sign in to Playlee to reach the portal. Otherwise, ask the organiser to send a new manager link.
The portal says no team entries are linked
You are signed in with a different email from the one on the entry. Sign in with the email the link was sent to, or ask the organiser to correct the manager email and send a new link.
How do I add another coach or manager?
Under Collaboration, enter their email, pick a role and select Send Collaboration Invite. They are sent their own manager link. Only the entry owner can do this.
I cannot see Match results
Scores can only be sent once your entry is approved, the organiser has switched on team score submissions, and the match has kicked off.
