1. The signature on the back of the card must match the name on the front exactly, as well as the roster. If you don't know the players you might want them to sign the cards first and type the roster later. All passcards must be typed.

2. Rip the cards apart. Do not send the blue membership half. Put the cards in alphabetical order and either rubber band them together or put them in a small envelope.

3. In Massachusetts we do not fill in the lines which say "member", "team #, or "ID #" so just leave them blank.

4. Coaches and managers must have passcards also. They use the same cards as the players, but it should say "coach" in the birthdate slot.

5. Pictures must be glued to the cards where it says "attach photo here." No paperclips or staples.

6. Black & white photos are not accepted.

ROSTERS:

1. Rosters must be signed by the coach and the club registrar before they are sent to your area registrar. If you are a small club and do not have a club registrar, then it is the coach's responsibility to check the birth certificates and Mass Youth Soccer affiliation forms and sign the Club/Town Certification box. Do not send these forms or birth certificates with the passcards.

2. All rosters must be signed by your area registrar who is listed on our website. Three copies must be sent to the registrar with the passcards.

3. Copies of the signed roster must be taken to the game and given to the referee and opposing coach.

4. If you have an out-of-state player on your roster a permission for them to play in Massachusetts must be on file before the player can be added to your roster. The parents of the player should contact the appropriate state organization to get this permission.

5. All rosters must be typed.

6. Out-of-state teams use rosters and passcards from their home state.

7. Rosters for U10 & U11 may have a maximum of 15 players. Rosters for U12-U15 may have a maximum of 18 players. U16 -  U18 teams may roster 22 players but only 18 players may dress and play in each game.

8. For the U10 age group, at least 50% of the roster must attain the age of 10 during the seasonal year.  Rosters will be checked by the area registrars and rejected if they do not meet this criteria.
