You need a 3-ring binder to hold all the necessary documentation for each player for the season.  The Team Book should include, but not limited to:

• Team Contact Sheet (we recommend laminating one or storing in a clear document sleeve to keep it weather-proof)
• Generic SSC Shadow Team Roster
• US Youth Soccer Player and coaches cards
• Regional Club League (RCL) and State Cup Tournament game roster sheets
• A Medical Release Form of each player
• Emergency Protocol and Field Address Information

Your team may be disqualified from a tournament at registration check-in if you are missing even one piece of the documentation necessary in the Team Book.

Team Rosters:  Each Manager will be required to keep an updated copy of the team roster in the Team Book at all times.

• Team Rosters made from our own generic roster template.

Game Roster Sheets:  Each manager will be required to print out the game roster sheets prior to each RCL and State Cup game from Affinity.  A game roster should display all game/location information, as well as player information (jersey number, name, and birth dates) for the day.

Player and Coaches Cards:  The Club uses State-issued USYSA cards (League and State Cup). 

For players cards:

• Attach player’s or coach’s picture the back (print coaches photo from the SSC Shadow website)
• Laminate each card (self-laminating sleeves available at Office Depot or Staples work perfectly or Kinko’s can laminate them for you).
• Punch a small hole in the top left corner
• Link them together on a key ring or lanyard.
• Keep this key ring of player cards securely attached inside your three-ring Team Book when not in use.  Be sure to retrieve them from the referee after each game.
• Make a lost and found card with your contact information.
  
  The State-issued USYSA cards are delivered to us from Washington Youth Soccer in late August. USYSA cards expire August 31.
  
  Mid-Season Roster Additions:  Your team may gain or lose players as the season progresses.  If a player is added to your team roster after tryouts are completed, please contact the Club Registrar/Administrator to get them registered in a timely fashion.  Every new player comes to the Club from different backgrounds which makes each registration process unique.  The Club Registrar/Administrator will offer directions on Club Registration, Uniform ordering and duties for the Team Manager.
