How does the registration process work – without getting into all the details?
1. Register your team(s) by using your Player First Account or creating a Player First Account for your organization. Your Username and password will be used for all 3 Step Brands: Hogan, NXT, Aloha, Robinson Sports, etc. Each coach can create their own account.
How do I send Waivers to my families?
Invite players from your Dashboard for each team separately – these are your waivers. See Waiver process below. After invites are all accepted – submit each team’s complete roster separately.
Which Division should I register my team?
We are striving for an equal level of competition while providing for a safe and fair environment for the players to compete in all age groups. We encourage all teams to push themselves to play against the highest level of competition possible – without jeopardizing the safety or experience of their players.
Here are some suggestions:
For most teams, refer to playing level in your spring league or prior tournaments to determine the most appropriate divisions for our tournaments. You may also call or email us directly and we can provide you with personalized guidance to help you through the process. We will try to accommodate any special scheduling requests possible, but please note that we will not cater schedules specifically to certain teams that might create any sort of competitive advantage or at the expense of other another team. The bottom line is that we want the players to have a fun, safe, and competitive experience. It’s not always going to be perfect, but we will do our best to make this happen.
I want to pay by check – how do I do that?
We will hold your registration for seven (7) calendar days while we wait to receive your check. If we do not receive your deposit check within those 7 days, you will risk losing your spot to another team that completes their payment ahead of you. Checks should be made payable to ‘Aloha Tournaments’ and ALL checks should be mailed to the following address. Please note team name and invoice number.
Checks made payable to: Aloha Tournaments

I have another coach or team administrator that handles waivers and rosters – can I assign that role to them?
Yes! You can assign another person as an Administrator for your team. Under your Player First Team account click ADD CONTACT. They will have the same access to player waivers as you.
HOW TO ADD AND MANAGE YOUR ROSTER
All players must sign a waiver to participate in an Aloha Turnaments event.
We recommend you start sending your waivers out at least 4 weeks before the event to give our staff ample time to confirm rosters and eligibility. There are some changes to your dashboard to make it easier!
All waivers are good for one year and when a waiver is signed it will automatically be applied to any other event for 1 year.
Please follow the steps below and feel free to reach out with any questions! At the top of your dashboard is also a tab HOW TO ADD & MANAGE YOUR ROSTER.
