INTERNATIONAL TEAM CHECKLIST

Team Checklist

» Preliminary roster is due June 15. All players, including guest players, must be listed on the tournament roster. Enter the player name, position and unique jersey number. Remember: there is NO jersey sharing. The player address, birth date and college coaches recruiting information (ages U16-U19), will be completed by the parent utilizing the online waiver. The information will automatically populate your tournament roster, making your job that much easier.

» Addresses required; addresses are directly linked to the NSC Liability Waiver as required by the State of Minnesota.
» Roster changes may continue until the following dates:
- » TBD: Schwan’s USA CUP Weekend
- » TBD: Schwan’s USA CUP
- » Final rosters will be printed on these dates/times for Final Team Check-in and will not reflect player addresses.
- » If a player must be added after these dates/times, print an updated roster and bring it to Final Team Check-in.
- » Players dropped at Final Team Check-in will receive a refund of the player fee following the tournament.
- » Players 16 and above may participate in the College Coaches Recruiting Program.
  - » Parents may provide the player email address, Grade Point Average (GPA), graduation year, and SAT or ACT scores on the online waiver for the roster.
  - » At a minimum, the player’s email address and graduation year are requested by the coaches for participation.
  - » Players 15 and younger will leave these fields blank

» 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!

» Contact your national federation for the permission-to-travel form.
» Include the USA CUP tournament sanctioning document (available here) with your permission to travel application.
