Team Captain FAQ

Who is the Team Captain of our walk team?

The team captain is the first registrant, the person who created the team when they registered.

I registered last year for the walk. Do I need my user name and password to register this year?

If you are a team captain and would like to have access to the prior year's list of team members and donors you will have the option to enter your user name and password or request them after you select the REGISTER button.  Otherwise you can select the REGISTER button and select "No" to continue your registration.  If you use the same name and email address from last year, your previous user name and password will be displayed at the end of the registration process. 

How do I know if I'm logged into Stride as the Team Captain?

If you can see "Roster", "Email", and "Donations" options at the top of your dashboard when you are logged in, then you are the Team Captain. If you do not see this information, you are logged in as another team member. If you are unsure, please complete this Support Form and provide the team name and indicate that you need to know if you or someone else is the captain.

Is there information I can share with friends and family?

There are several options to share information about The Extra Mile. You can share the link to your team page, share posts on social media or the DSAMT newsletter, or you can print and hand out the flyer found HERE.

Are there prizes if I fundraise?

Absolutely! There are several FUNdraising prizes available for teams that meet certain levels. Those can be found HERE. There will also be multiple contests and prizes posted to our social media pages and in our newsletter, so watch for those posts!

There are some companies that may want to sponsor, but I don't know how to ask. Can you help with that?

YES! DSAMT has sponsor level information that can be printed HERE. There is also an ask letter families can download and edit to request sponsorships for The Extra Mile. The ask letter can be printed HERE. 

I have received check and cash donations for my team. Where should I send the money?

Check and cash donations will be included in the team totals and will be entered by DSAMT staff once received by DSAMT. Please indicate the team name and the team captain for any cash or check donations. Checks can be mailed to DSAMT at 1310 Central Court, Hermitage, TN 37076. Please do not mail cash donations!
