1.     Club or team goes to www.usclubsoccer.org ; click the green menu tab on top called REGISTRATION; click “Apply Now” on the drop down menu bar – and will be at the registration page.

2.     Have 5 choices for registration – 2 of which are most applicable for a travel team using the passes in league play: CLUB (use this if you plan to register 3 or more teams with USCLUB) & LEAGUE TEAM (use this if you are an individual team looking to register & need a league affiliate).  Registering as a LEAGUE TEAM (instead of a club) means you register under our league affiliation and as such only pay the cost of your passes. A club membership means you must register 3 or more teams (and players) with USCLUB and will be required to pay a $1000. deposit, which pass costs are deducted from that account.  So, for many teams, registering a league team is easier to swallow financially! You can register more than one team under that established account - as you are registering your club, but under the league affiliation.  So, enter once, and your club is registered for future teams.

3.     When you chose league team – the league name scroll down tab will darken, and  scroll down to MSSL/MAPS (CJYSA-NJ)

4.     Club/team completes the application and submits it to USCS - BE SURE TO FILL IN THE FOLLOWING:

·        In the drop down menu list of member leagues, find correct league: MSSL/MAPS (CJYSA-NJ) and click to insert

·        Complete all fields – be sure to list yourself as contact if you are expecting to enter your team roster.  The password comes back to the contact listed

·        Be sure to indicate the number of players in each age class – U9 and below; U9-U11; and U12-U19.  If there are no players in that particular age group, be sure to put in “0”. 

5.  Contact MAPS/MSSL Administrator, jan@mssl.org, advising you have submitted application for approval. 

6.     Once approved, a password is sent via email registered as club/contact.  This password, along with your email address (user name) will allow access to the member’s only website.  If your club already has an existing account with US Club under the MSSL/MAPS affiliation, your application will be declined; but you will receive an email from the league administrator advising you who to contact within your club to register your team under the exisiting account.

7.     League (CJYSA) monitors registrants and informs USCS of any improper registrants, but USCS takes no action unless informed by the league.  If your club is already a member, you will be rejected, and advised to contact the club registrar to get your team registered.

8.     LEAGUE APPROVES CARDS AS DESCRIBED BELOW.

Teams are responsible for registering coaches and players online. 

After receiving your password, go to www.usclubsoccer.com and enter your email address and password in the upper right corner.  You will then enter your club site.  You will enter information as follows:

·        Enter STAFF first – for each coach; assistant coach and team manager - under Staff/Cards

·        Enter TEAM information second - under add/view teams

·        Enter PLAYERS third – under add/view players – you may add the players’ birth certificate directly to the site if you have a scanner to scan the BC’s into your computer.  This saves a lot of time in delivery of the passes to you.  You will note the box that indicates “BROWSE” next to it to locate the file on your computer.

·        Print off a copy of your roster - under view team rosters

·        Lastly, you must request the player cards – under Player Cards/Release – validate the information (check box) and check two of the three boxes in front of each player (medical release & birth certificate-2^nd & 3^rd box in front of each name-NOT release) and check the box at the bottom in red requesting the passes be sent electronically.

Submit a printed roster to USCS along with the birth certificates, coach risk management forms and check.  Passes are processed and sent to the club electronically for printing.  The following must be completed before passes are sent!

·        USCLUB must be paid for passes - $16. per player; $10. per coach  ($12 for U10 and younger).  You shall pay by credit card or e-check on line.   

·        Birth certificates may be individually scanned on the USCLUB site for players or they can also be mailed copies. Send to Sharon Young at US Club Soccer,

·        Be sure to request a copy of our roster be sent to the league for approval.  Be sure to include ALL players (up to 26)

·        Club/team has each player complete the R0002 form (registration and medical release).  Club/team MUST retain this form to produce upon request.

·        Coaching staff MUST COMPLETE RISK MANAGEMENT FORMS electronically on the website site: www.usclubsoccer.org .  Risk Management forms need only be completed every other year for coaches. Cards will NOT be issued for coaches until a risk management form is submitted electronically to US CLUB.  Registrar should register coach with each team they are coaching (separate cards are issued for each team they coach).   Risk forms must be complete with yes/no answers for #3 and #4 and a signature is required at the bottom.  

USCLUB must give final approval on cards.  USCS reviews information, and sends the passes electronically to the team registrar.  To print the passes, use Avery card #8471/#8371.  Team affixes picture, and LAMINATES THE PASS.  Please note, players are not required to sign the passes and the passes do NOT require a league stamp.

AFTER REGISTRATION

·        Team manages player database online; prints rosters, sanctioning forms, etc. as needed.  Players can be moved between teams, subject to any league roster rules.

·        Temporary cards will not be issued by USCS anymore with our new system.  Until the player is issued a card they are NOT covered by USCS insurance!

·        To complete a drop/add, the player must first be released online by team #1, and thereafter registered online by team #2.  The old player card must be submitted to team #1’s league.

·        For league play, roster rules (roster freeze date, primary/secondary league etc) are controlled by the league. 

·        Custom teams and rosters can be created online and printed for out-of-league tournament play.  No other roster approval is required

·        All other forms, requests for insurance certificates, etc. are available online at the USCS website.
