Pick-up Process
For the purposes of this section, ‘player’ refers to both players/skaters and goalies.
To pick-up a player, the following steps must be followed:
- The team requiring the player(s) must first contact the Head Coach of the lending team.
- The Head Coach of the lending team is to:
- Make a recommendation regarding which player they feel is most suitable;
- Contact the player and parents, or adult player, to see if the player is available and willing;
- Obtain the parent’s or adult player’s permission; and
- Contact the requesting coach to inform them who will be coming to the specified game.
- The team requiring the player must then log into the RAMP Games Portal using their team login. RAMP InterActive Content Management System (rampcms.com)
- The option to request a Pick-Up (AP) Player will be on the left menu panel ‘Players/Staff AP Request’.
- Provide all the requested information before submitting the request.
- Once you complete the request and submit the document, an email will be sent to the team that you wish to pick up from.
- That team will then have to log into the RAMP Games Portal via their team login to approve the request. (Left menu – ‘Players/Staff Approve’ – click on the request and hit Submit.)
- Once the request has been approved, the player will then automatically be added to the Pickup teams Electronic Game sheet.
This is the only way to add a player to your Electronic Game sheet.
Change the player number for the pick-up player to be the jersey number they will wear for your game. To do this, click on the number beside their name on the player list in the Gamesheet app.
Of course, there will be situations where you find out shortly before a game that a player is ill or can’t make it and you need to quickly pickup a player. Be sure to talk to the other coach/manager and player in addition to making the request on RAMP. Ask the other coach/manager to approve the request on RAMP ASAP so the player will be on your gamesheet for the game.
The RAMP Game Portal can be accessed from your phone using your browser. There is not an App for the Game Portal.
