What is an Officials role on COMET?

An Officials role on COMET is basically a committee role that is undertaken for the entire club, as opposed to a Coach role which is for a specific team within a club.

Unlike any Staff roles, no formal qualifications are required for these roles, so organisations are free to self-register people in these roles.

The full list of relevant roles are:

  • Accreditation Officer
  • Assistant Secretary
  • Chairperson
  • Club Volunteer
  • COMET Champion
  • Commercial Officer
  • Committee Member
  • Community Officer
  • Disability Access Officer
  • Disciplinary Officer
  • Equality Champion
  • Fixture Secretary
  • Other
  • Parent Liaison Officer
  • President
  • Referees Officer
  • Secretary
  • Steward
  • Supporter Liaison Officer
  • Treasurer
  • Volunteer Co-ordinator

 

Find or create the Person's record

Once you have logged into COMET, click on the Clubs button on the left hand side of your screen to open the drop down menu.

Firstly check the system in case this new person already has a record on COMET with a previous/different club.

To do this, select Search Officials.

Input the person's details to try and find them on the System

If the person has never registered for your club before, then once on the Search officials page, you will firstly need to remove the organisation and your club name from the Organisation and club boxes highlighted.

By leaving these boxes blank it is now allowing you to search the entire database.

However, you can only find people that are new to your club if you have one of their following details:

  1. Their COMET ID number
  2. Their Surname AND date of birth
  3. Their 6 digit number from the previous FAW registration system.

Once you have input one of these into any of the relevant boxes highlighted, just click Search.

If the person has a record that appears in the search results box, simply click on their name to proceed to the person's registration page (1).

If you get the above screenshot saying no data found, then you can proceed to create a new record on COMET.

To do this you just need to click the New official button highlighted (2).
