Registration: 

Team placement will be dependent upon the number of league teams registered, normal promotion and relegation based on Spring 2019 Final Standings, team requested placement, along with other pertinent factors in the best judgment of the League Seeding Committee. Please be sure to submit your seeding request by the deadline, July 12^th, for full consideration of your requests: (link to follow.)

 

GOT Soccer is revamping some of its features such as the seeding application, fields, club admin etc. This information and their corresponding links are coming in the next few weeks. 

 

They will also provide a link to a new feature called the Team Summary page where every registrar enters basic information for their F19 teams:   team name, sex/age, last season and division played, and what F19 preferred division. The Team summary page will replace the team list you normally submit to me, thus avoiding duplication.

 

The deadline for all registration material (team summary, seeding applications, club registration payment and fines, etc) will be Friday, July 12^th. 

 

IMPORTANT:  Please encourage all of your players/parents to register themselves by creating an account, and uploading their photos (good for 2 years).  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:

• Team List:  Prior to your appointment, e-mail me a list of your teams (sorted by age, boys first then girls, youngest to oldest, higher divisions within age group first).  Indicate which teams are new and which teams have merged or disbanded.  Don’t forget to

e-mail this list to me prior to your registration appointment; (ldargenio@wyslsoccer.org).

• Registration Fees/Fines: Team registration fees and any outstanding forfeit fees or fines owed by your club must be paid at your registration appointment in two separate checks, made payable to WYSL.

Check off  “Notify on game change” for all contacts who want email notice of game changes. Print out this page when completed and bring it with you to your appointment.  This serves as the new “Officers” form for the League.

(If there is more than one team in an age group, highest division team is first.) At least two different contacts must be furnished for each team.

Instructions for permits are on the website. Tell the scheduler about special conditions or field issues.

Team contacts may then access the team page by clicking upper right “team log-in” using their designated e-mail address and password. Make sure all your teams submit their seeding/application online and either print them or have a summary sheet at your registration appointment.

• New player(s) ONLY: New players to WYSL travel soccer must submit a birth certificate and upload a recent photo. 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.

• New Coaches: New coaches should submit a copy of proof of licensing, if any. Only for one Fall season is a New Coach allowed a coaching pass without having taken the mandatory courses. That coach is required to be licensed by the following spring season by taking the NSCAA Level 2 (or equivalent or higher) course and the coach Orientation course. (More information on these courses will be forthcoming.) A coach may only coach for one fall season without having taken the required courses! A coach who fails to take the courses may not coach in the spring season and must forfeit his coaching pass.

• Medical Release: All players must fill out a medical release form. This is good as long as the player stays with the same club and the information has not changed.

• How to update Club information: Club officers, team pages, individual field directions are on the WYSL website. Club President or president’s designee (person with club administration rights) is responsible for updating club officers’ information and keeping individual field directions accurate for their club.
