How to use the portal

Pick your role for step-by-step instructions on creating an account and using the portal.

Open the coach registration link from the Shrine Game committee (portal.ilshrinegame.com/register?role=coach).
Enter the registration code the committee gave you. If the link already includes it, it fills in for you.
Choose how you are registering: Head Coach for the Game, Assistant Coach for the Game, or Nominate a Player. Both coaching choices also let you nominate players.
Enter your full name, high school, classification (1A–8A or 8-man) and cell phone with area code.
Coaching in the game? Also choose your team (Red or Blue), shirt size and shoe size. Each team has one head coach.
Enter your email and a password of at least 12 characters, confirm it, and choose Create coach account. Save the recovery code that appears.

Create one account per coach. If you get a "registration code is not valid" message, contact the committee for the current code.

Open Nominations in the menu. The banner at the top shows whether nominations are open and the last day to nominate.
Each school may nominate two seniors: one First preference and one Second preference. Submit one nomination form per player.
School & coach fills in from your account. Check it, then enter the nominee’s name, preference, height, weight, jersey number, jersey and pants sizes, home address, email and cell phone.
Enter the parent or guardian’s name, email and cell phone. Use 10-digit phone numbers with area code.
Under Position, choose Offense or Defense, then the position and stats. Add any specialty positions (optional) and a Hudl highlights link if you have one.
Check any awards and honors, rate the player’s Character, Coachability and Dependability from 1 to 5, and choose Submit nomination.
Your nominations appear at the top of the page. Open one to review it, or choose Withdraw nomination to change it before the deadline.

Nominations close at the end of the deadline day (Illinois time) or when the Red & Blue draft starts, whichever comes first.
