ANSWER: How do I Add a Picture to the Website

Uploading Photo Files (Coaches, Team Moms, Parents):

  • Click on “LOG IN”
  • Put in your name (Two words--You must use your own name)
  • Password for adding pictures is: wiltonlaxpics
  • Follow directions for posting pictures to the Association Page. Guidelines are below.
  • Do not include a player's full name in the photo caption, or post a photo where a nameplate is visible.
  • Use the Browse button to display a file dialog box that you can use to locate your picture file (.JPG files only) on your computer.  Once you locate the file and submit the form, the picture will be uploaded to the web site and added to the list along with your description.  
  • Pictures wider than 580 pixels will be resized to that width.  Pictures taller than 600 pixels will be reduced to that height.  If you can, try to crop out unnecessary parts of the picture.  Also, please use your best judgment when submitting material for display here.  We don't want to have to censor anyone.

Problems?  When first going to the Picture page, you might be prompted to install an Active X file. You’ll need to do this in order to upload pictures.

COPPA Compliance:

The Federal Trade Commission has implemented the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). The main goal of the COPPA and the rule is to protect the privacy of children using the Internet. Publication of the rule means that, as of April 21, 2000, certain commercial Web sites must obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13.

We recommend not posting identifiable photos of children on the web site, unless you have permission from the parent.  Do not include a player's full name in the photo caption or post a photo where a nameplate is visible.

ANSWER: How do I Update My Profile Info

Changes to your information you may want to make:
  • adding a parent or guardian to a player's account
  • change of address
  • adding or changing email addresses
  • phone number changes or additions
  • turn on or off the automatic notification feature for game reminders
  • make your phone number public, private, or just on the rosters (our rosters do NOT have contact information available for the general public. This info is available via password to coaches and team mates only so there is no need to set to private. Set it to Roster so that coaches can see it).
All these edits are best done by the member--YOU. The instructions are simple:

From the Home Page, click on Edit My Account at the bottom of the left hand menu. Follow the instructions on the next page to log into your account and then click on your name to edit your information. Make sure the check box "no emails" is NOT checked and make sure all the email addresses you want to receive notices in are there. Put a semicolon and space between email addresses. Be sure to click on the Submit button when you are done.

BUT I'M NOT GETTING THE EMAILS being sent by the system and my email address is correctly in the system. What do I do now??:

If your email address is correct on your profile and the player is registered and placed on a team (check the team roster to make sure of this),  the emails ARE going out to you, Our suggestion is to:
    1- look in your spam folder
    2- add to your email address book
    3-Log into the "Edit My Account" area of the website (left menu on home page) and click on the "CLICK HERE to add us as a "Safe Sender"" next to your email for instructions on how to receive emails that are being sent to you. (To see that page now, just click on the link above)


 
 


ANSWER: How do I Add Text Messaging for time sensitive messages


 
Do you want to add TEXT MESSAGING to your alerts?
Once in a while, a field is closed due to lightning or a change in location or time occurs. Your coach wants to be able to notify you in the quickest, easiest way possible. To do this, we could send a TEXT MESSAGE to your cell phone along with the regular method of emailing and putting up a broadcast message on the team page of the website. In order to do this we need your cell phone listed on your profile and your carrier selected from the drop down box. To add this feature, follow the instructions above for editing your profile and select text messaging with your carrier listed. Responsible coaches will only use this feature when the information is time sensitive and critical.

ANSWER: How do I Check to See if I have already registered

ANSWER: How do I Check to make sure I am paid in full


 

To check your program registrations and payments for your entire family, follow these directions:
  • Visit the website at: http://www.wiltonlax.com (you are already on this site)
  • Scroll to the bottom of the home page and click on the left hand menu item: "Edit My Account". You will be asked to log in using your name and user id. Follow the prompts if you have forgotten your password.
  • When you log in, your profile will appear and you will be prompted to make payment if there is a payment due.
This is a great way to double check to make sure your account is paid in full and your players are all registered.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
PLEASE do no create a new profile by re-entering your information. Once you are in the system, duplicating your profile causes confusion for you when registering and for coaches when assigning teams. If you are tempted to start over and create new profiles, instead, send an email to and explain the problem. State player name and grade in your email.

 

ANSWER: How do I View a Team Roster:
Access to rosters is restricted to protect the privacy of the association's members. Members of teams will still be able to access their rosters using their email address and personal password on their account. Navigate to your team under the TEAMS tab at the top of the website. Choose "Roster" from the left menu of your team page. Log in using your email address and personal password.

Registration Problems/US Lacrosse Issues

Having problems with completing the registration?

All players must also hold a valid US Lacrosse membership in order to register for a Wilton Lacrosse Program. Here are some common issues that you might have during registration:

  1. US Lax page won’t move past the first screen: Before you press the “next” key, you must first press the “confirm” button to confirm that all the player information is correct.
  2. Error message on US Lacrosse site says to call: Please call them to resolve the issue. (410-235-6882). It is likely a mismatch of information between what you have entered on the Wilton Lacrosse site and what you have entered on the US Lax site. The player name, date of birth and zip code MUST match on both sites, or you will have trouble completing the registration.
