NSC Liability Parents Waiver:
Before you pick up that phone, check here for important roster and general tournament information. Many of your questions will be answered immediately…no matter what time of day or night!
Preliminary roster is due June 1, 2008. Roster changes may continue until 1400 on Wednesday, July 9 for the Weekend tournament and Sunday, July 13 for the Week-long tournament.
Addresses required. Player addresses are directly linked to the NSC Liability Waiver as required by the State of Minnesota. Final rosters are printed prior to Final Team Check-in as noted above and will NOT reflect addresses.
A unique jersey number is required for each player; no jersey sharing permitted.
Provide each player’s primary position on final roster.
ALL guest players must be identified on the roster.
Provide parents with the tournament ID number for this task. Players are not permitted to participate in the tournament without a completed NSC Waiver on file.
You may monitor the progress of your parents by selecting View Roster from the online roster menu. The WV column stands for Waiver. Each time a parent completes the online waiver, an ‘X’ is displayed in this column to the left of the player’s name.
Waivers are tracked to each player’s address, not the parent’s email address. Therefore, a parent may complete the online waiver from any computer!
3. Player fees are payable by Visa, MasterCard, check, money order or cash. Team payment only; no individual payments.
To pay by Visa or MasterCard, use the online Balance Due Payment option (available in the Roster menu):
If you are paying by check or money order:
Make payment payable to either Schwan’s USA CUP Weekend or Schwan’s USA CUP.
Record your tournament ID number on check or money order.
If you are paying by cash, office hours are Monday-Friday, 0900-1700. The main office is located in the Administration Building on the NSC campus; enter the building from parking lot B off Davenport Street and proceed to level 2.
No invoice will be sent to your team.
For player fee breakdown, visit our fees section. Player fees are determined by the number of players on your roster.
4. Obtain guest player loan form for any non-Minnesota player on your team, if applicable.
If you have secured a player from the Schwan’s USA CUP Guest Player Program, add the player to your roster. The payment, liability waiver and permission-to-travel will be collected by the tournament for you.
If you have secured a guest player on your own from the State of Minnesota, simply add this player to your roster.
If you have secured a guest player from outside the State of Minnesota, direct the player to contact his/her state association or province for obtaining permission-to-travel to this tournament. Once permission-to-travel has been received, forward the document to the tournament and add the player to your roster. Players will not be permitted to play without permission-to-travel on file prior to Final Team Check-in.
All players must be currently registered with a USSF or FIFA-affiliated association and possess a current youth player pass.
Guest Player Limit: 6 guest players may be rostered per team. For a complete explanation regarding guest players, see rules.
Provide the name, city and phone number of the hotel (use the Roster menu to submit this information). Update as needed.
Hotel contact information is used in an emergency. In the event that we are not able to contact you using your cell phone, we will contact you at the hotel.
The National Sports Center is also required by the State of Minnesota to track for economic impact. Did you know that the National Sports Center is second only to the Mall of America for economic impact and the number of annual visitors?
6. Player passes are required for play.
Youth player passes are required at Final Team Check-in and at the start of each game.
MYSA player passes, AYSO, SAY, USYS, US Club Soccer player passes or Canadian booklets/province player cards are accepted for your guest players.
Copies of player passes are not accepted.
7. Print the rules. Coaches are responsible for knowing the rules in advance. Express concerns prior to the start of each game.
8. Print the Activities Packet. Check out all that USA CUP has to offer!
Taking place during the tournament, The NSC Sports Event Symposium will show you how to map your event's future by learning from the experts at the largest amateur sports and meeting facility in the world.
