HOW-TO GUIDE
MLS NEXT
Registration & Login Guidance
For the MLS NEXT Homegrown and Academy Divisions.
Are You a RETURNING Athlete to MLS NEXT?
If you have registered with MLS NEXT in prior seasons, you will already have an account in your club’s Kitman Labs Intelligence Platform. In order to complete your registration for the upcoming 26’/27’ MLS NEXT season, you will need to log into your club’s iP URL. Each club has a specific URL handle that would look similar to this yourclubname.injuryprofiler.com
If you do not remember your club’s iP URL, please reach out to your club administrator and they will be able to send this to you. Once you open your club’s URL, you will need to login with your username and password. If you do not remember your login credentials, please utilize the Reset Password functionality listed on the login page as this will trigger an email to be sent to you containing your username and instructions on how to reset your password.
Are you a NEW Athlete in MLS NEXT?
You should have received an email with the subject “Sign up to Kitman Labs” asking you to activate your Kitman Labs account. Click here to see a sample of what the email should look like. Please check your spam or junk folders in the event your service provider has flagged the email as suspicious.
Please Note: You will only receive your account activation email once your club has created a profile for you. Please reach out to your club administrator for support if you have not received this activation email.
Open your invite email and click the “Activate Account” button.
You will be taken to a webpage where you will be asked to create a password. You can enter your desired password and confirm this by entering the same password a second time.
Account Login
When you have chosen your passwords, you will be redirected to the sign-in page for the Club specific iP: Intelligence Platform (Club staff, Players/Parents) – we highly recommend you bookmark this page.
