IMPORTANT: Please encourage all of your players/parents to register themselves, creating an account, and upload their photos. In the event that they are unable to do so, the person registering them must register as the player, creating an account for that player and input all of their correct player information i.e. address, phone, e-mail address, etc.
The following must be presented on or before Registration appointment:
- Alphabetical Team List: E-mail me beforehand an alphabetized (by team name) list of your teams with 4 columns: 1. Sex/age 2. Team name 3. If they are a combo team, which teams combined to form it? At bottom, list the teams that are not returning from the fall 2012 season, and which teams have disbanded. Please e-mail this list to me prior to your registration appointment (ldargenio@wyslsoccer.org).
- Registration Fees/Fines: Team fees andany outstanding forfeit fees or fines owed by your club must be paid at this time, checks made payable to WYSL.

Please supply names, cell & work phone numbers, and e-mails for the following: President, Registrar/commissioner, field contact, referee coordinator, score reporter (and Rec administrator if applicable.) Print out this page when completed and bring it with you to appointment. This serves as the new “Officers” form for the League.
- Application/Seeding forms: Seedings are open for spring seedings December 10th. Print out all of your seeding forms or have a summary sheet of what your teams want for your registration appt. Sort them starting with boys, youngest to oldest, then girls, youngest to oldest, highest to lowest divisions. (If there is more than one team in an age group, highest division team goes first.) Two different contacts must be furnished for each team.
- Birth Certificates: Birth certificates are to be grouped by teams in alphabetical order by last name of player within each team, and then the team’s birth certificates placed in alphabetical order by team name. Teams will be gone through alphabetically, A-Z. Highlight First and Last Name, along with the birthdate.

- New Passes: There will be no “on demand” passes made. Pass information must be submitted three (3) days in advance of pass pick-up/delivery.
- Transfers: Transfer materials must be submitted, if applicable: $50, old player pass, completed transfer form. (A transfer is the movement from one club/league to another, not intra-club: going team to team within the same club.)
TO DO LIST:
- Field Information: Update your field information on the club Field Info Section of Club page. Each club will enter and keep current its field information as “permits” in the CLUB Field Info section of the club page on the wyslsoccer.org website and Manage Field Permits.
- Club Field Directions: These directions are designed for coaches and parents to be able to find fields alphabetically at www.wyslsoccer.org. Club President/designee should review the field directions on the WYSL website and revise them if you have added a new field and e-mail any changes to aolcese@wyslsoccer.org.
One full-day field is required for every six teams playing on that size field. (Preferably noon to dark for small sided and 9 to dark for full sided.) Get as much field time as you can for the WYSL to use in scheduling. Unused time can be returned to the community or other groups after the schedule is final. Field time needed for games is: U9/10 - 1:15, U11/12 - 1:30, U13/14 - 1:45, U15+: 2 hours.
All available fields and times for Sunday will need a permit. As examples, permits for all the spring 2013 fields will be on the web site by June 1. Those permits can be used as templates or cloned for a new season. Permits must be entered as early as possible and at least 6 weeks before the start of the season. Use preliminary information if that’s all that you have and correct it as early as possible. Instructions for permits are on the website.
- Special team requests: Send all team or club special schedule requests or coach coordination requests by email to the WYSL Scheduler (terrybenson@nyc.rr.com) as early as possible and preferably before the scheduling (5 weeks before the start of the season). Any request made after the preliminary schedule is sent out will not be accepted. Each request must include: Club / Team Name / Age Group / Request / and, for coach coordinations, coach name. DO NOT PUT SPECIAL REQUESTS ON THE APPLICATION/SEEDING FORM!
The league only coordinates games for a head coach of two WYSL teams. We do not coordinate for co-head coaches, trainers, assistant coaches, or club officials. Coaches may not be head coach for more than two WYSL teams playing in the league.
- Co-insured Form: All insurance certificates previously requested by clubs have been automatically generated and e-mailed to the president of that club late August. If the president’s e-mail address has changed, please let the League know. It is suggested that clubs get an e-mail address that will not change over the years (i.e. PO Box). The Certificates of Insurance are good for one year. If there is a new facility, please enter the formal name of new facility on the Certificate of Insurance request form and e-mail me.
- Application/Seeding Request Form: All teams must fill out an online application/seeding request form to provide information to the WYSL Seeding Committee, listing two different contacts. The information that is submitted on the Application/Seeding Form will create the contacts on the Spring 2013 team page, which can be added to and revised by the authorized team reps. Team contacts may then access the team page by clicking upper right “team log-in” using their designated e-mail address and password. The start date to submit online seeding forms is December 10th. Make sure all your teams submit one online and either print them or have a summary sheet.
· Passes: Passes must be turned in for returning high school teams from last season. All new passes will be made, so make sure all players upload a recent photo.
- New player(s): to the League must submit a birth certificate and upload a recent photo of themselves. Parents, coaches and club registrars will also have the ability to upload photos.All photos of new players/coaches must be uploaded and those sessions will then be submitted to League.
- Transfers: players moving to different teams in different clubs are considered transfers in the spring season. Their old pass, completed transfer form and $50 must be submitted by club they are going to. Make sure they upload a recent photo and a new pass will be made.
- New Coaches: New coaches should submit a copy of proof of licensing, if any. Only in the Fall Season is a New Coach allowed a temporary coaching pass; however, that coach is required to be licensed by the following spring season by taking the WYSL 8-hour certification (or equivalent) course and Orientation course, and by returning that temporary pass to his/her registrar along with uploading a picture in order to get a permanent coaching pass (no temporary passes will be allowed in spring season!) A coach may only be a temporary coach once.
· Risk Management:
