Rosters, Registration and Medical Release Forms
As the head coach, you are required to register at least 45 minutes before your initial game. Please ensure you give yourself enough time. Our staff will be checking-in all teams at our main information booth which is next to the concession stand. Please bring two copies of your team stickered roster using the standard sheet from PA West. We will keep one and return the second copy to you. Your club will provide you with the PA West stickered rosters. The PA West rules specify that August tournaments can use the 2009-10 rosters if the 2010-11 has not yet been issued by PA West.Bring your player cards and copies of birth certificates for your guest players. You will need copies of birth certificates for your players that do not yet have their cards. You are allowed up to three guest players and their birth dates have to fall within the prescribed age schedule as outlined by PA West. We will verify your player cards/ birth certificates at check-in against your rosters. Our Field Marshall’s will also check your roster and player cards/birth certificates before each game (to clarify, a birth certificate is not needed if the player has a card) You also need to bring a
medical release form for each player which we will keep. The medical release forms are in the attachment. Medical Release Forms are necessary for each player. Please print a copy of the medical release form; have each player complete; and bring them to the registration table before your first match.
