FutsalSJ - Checklist

Pre-Season check list

Please make sure to follow this checklist precisely, otherwise you might run into problems! You can print this list for your convenience.
O Check that your team is listed on the list of teams. If it is not you do not have a spot in the league yet. Please contact Secretary Claudio Fleiner at [click to show email] for more information and DO NOT register with USFF as described below.
O   Register the head coach and all assistant coaches with USFF. Instructions are online. You will have to pay $12 per coach.
O Register your team with USFF. Instructions are online.
O Register all your players with USFF. Instructions are online. Any player not registered before Thursday evening before the first game will NOT PLAY the first weekend. No exception! If you have a player that is new to your team ask the parents to fill out and sign the Youth Registration Form for Futsal.
O The USFF registration system allows you to print 'Player Application Form'. Do so for all your players that have not yet a signed a Youth Registration Form for Futsal and have the parents sign those forms. They include the medical consent paragraph, you need to show them when you check in your team the first time.
O Get the password for your team web-page on futsalsj.org. This is NOT the same password as the one used to register your team with USFF. You need access to this page to request byes and enter scores.
O Enter your USFF team ID on your teams web page after you have registered all your players with the USFF online registration system (top heading, under team information, field 'League ID'). Until you do this your player player passes will not be printed, and your team name will have a question mark after the name in the list of teams. Originally you were asked to email the Team ID, but with 80 teams email is not an option anymore.
O It turns out that you cannot print player passes, instead you will get them when you check-in your team. Make sure to have a picture with you for all your players and coaches. We will inform about check-in times once the schedule for the first week is out. You will have to laminate the passes after the first weekend.
O Make sure to enter any byes you require for the next four weeks on your teams web-page.
O inform your parents about
  • the team web-page, as that will be the place where they find your team schedule and links to the gyms pages with addresses and information
  • that one of them will have to be score keeper for home games
  • that they need to check the gym pages for special information (cost of parking, etc.)
O Prepare the paper work for checking in your team before the first game:
  • You need the signed player application form for each player
  • You need a picture for each player and each coach
  • You need either the CYSA player pass OR a copy of the birth certificate OR a copy of the passport of every player
  • If you have 11 or 12 players on the roster you need to bring a check over $10 or $20.
O Buy the necessary equipment: 2 futsal balls of the correct size (size #3 for U12 and younger, size #4 for the older age groups).
