Can a TD coach any team within their club?

It is suggested that the TD should not be listed on PowerUp as a coach, but can be listed on the League’s E2E website as a coach for each team, in brackets “TD” should be put after that person’s name. I.e., John Doe (TD).

This only applies to Fully Qualified TDs, not a “TD in progress”

Can a TD be listed as a TD for more than one club?

Yes, only if they are a fully qualified TD.

There is a player that our club would like to have fast tracked, but our club does not have a TD. How do we get this player assessed?

If your club is unable to obtain a fully qualified TD, EMSA can provide you a list of those in the District. Once this is done, a club can choose which TD they would like to contact to make arrangements to have their player assessed. That process will be between the TD and the club.

I am a fully qualified Technical Director, and I would like to be on the ERMSA list. How do I go about doing this?

How many players can we fast track per team?

Currently, each team is allowed to have 3 fast track players.

As a Technical Director, do we need a coaches card?

Yes – this can be obtained from your club via PowerUp.
