No players passes needed BCSA-FL Expressway League some tournaments |
- Coach/Manager must request player passes from the Registrar and include payment of $8 per pass at least 2 weeks in advance of when needed. Be sure to indicate if any of the players need a secondary pass rather than a primary pass.
- Coach/Manager must attach a recent photo of the player (~1" square, full face, no sunglasses or hats). Signature of the player is no longer needed.
- The pass must then be laminated. Options are:
- Return to the registrar at least 1 week in advance and Registrar will laminate
- If the coach/manager has access to a laminator, request the pouches from the registrar at the same time passes are requested. Then laminate yourself).
- It is recommended that the coach/manager keep all players passes for the team, as they must be given to the referee before the start of the game/tournament.
"Secondary" Players
- For leagues that require player passes, players are generally limited to being on two NYSWYSA team rosters. One team is the player's primary team (player pass is laminated in clear plastic). The other team is the player's secondary team (player pass is laminated in yellow). Note that leagues may have their own requirements regarding rostering on more than one team.
- Coaches of both teams must agree on the player's primary team, so a "release to Secondary Team" form must be completed. The form requires signatures (the player, the player's parent, and both coaches) and then returned to the LSC Registrar. The form is available at the bottom of the Player Registration page.
- Note that State Cup teams require that all players be primary on the State Cup team.
Details on field use
- Outdoor ... LSC can assist teams with access to game and practice fields; contact the LSC Field Coordinator as far in advance as possible. Teams may be charged a fee to cover costs associated with maintaining the fields.
- Indoor ... Game fields are provided by the league in which you are playing. For practice time and/or "friendlies", each team arranges (and pays for) their own practice time with the facility.
Uniforms
- Teams determine their own uniforms (and each player must pay for his/her own uniform, which generally is separate from a team fee). Most leagues require jerseys of the same color with unique numbers on the back (though some rec-like leagues do not enforce the unique number requirement). Some leagues have additional requirements regarding uniforms.
- Pinnies may be used when necessary to distinguish teams, or to distinguish the goalkeeper.
