• NYSWYSA this year had adopted GotSport for player rostering, rather than RosterPro.  Please make yourself familiar with this site see the PLAYER REGISTRATION tab of this website for details, and reach out to NYSWYSA's Mike Kozak if you have questions.
• Clubs can "sign up" players however they like: Demosphere, local web pages, paper forms, etc.  In the end, player info collected during signups must be imported into GotSport so that players can be rostered.
• Risk Management and SafeSport requirements (if any) must be completed for every coach and assistant in your club.  See the RISK MANAGEMENT tab of this website for more information.
• New for 2024: Players who are 18 years of age, or who will turn 18 during the seasonal year, must also complete the Safesport training.  It is free of charge, and details will be announced when they are known.
• Each game day, please watch the website for global game suspensions.  Hopefully, this summer will not ba a repeat of last summer with all of the air quality issues, but any such widespread postponements of games will be announced by 4pm on game days.  Games postponsed for such reasons must be made up within short order (e.g., 1 week) or fines will be imposed.
