Get Season Ready - GMS Training : Club Admins

The Game Management System (GMS) is England Hockey's system to record all hockey matches in England.

It is designed to hold all club team and player records as well as game data entered by the team captains or managers.

If you are required to be a Club Admin please contact gms.support@englandhockey.co.uk 

CLUB ADMIN

What do I have to do? 

Manage your club profile 

  • Manage your club’s public profile 
  • Managing teams – Assign registered participants to the different teams within a club to make them visible to the team admins 
  • Delegate admin rights - Create, assign and manage team admins within your club 

Fixture management 

  • View all club fixtures and rearranged fixture details 
  • Update fixture details to include the start time and venues so opposition teams know when matches are due to be played. This provides live information to other clubs and the leagues so will remove duplication of effort. 

Player Management 

  • Player registrations - Approve or decline requests from players to join your club 
  • Player types - Distinguish between traditional club players paying subs and guest players 
  • Assigning players to teams - Set up teams and add players to allow Team Admins to manage smaller groups. Players can belong to more than one team. 
  • Suspensions - View the disciplinary record for the club, teams and players and details of any suspensions  
  • Player transfers - Approve or decline requests from players to leave or to join your club. 

Officials Management 

  • External Umpire appointments - Appointed umpires are added to match sheets automatically.  
  • Club umpires –  Match sheets have umpires included so clubs can track who is umpiring club games 
  • Umpire contacts - View contact details for umpires
