The committed team of volunteers that makes up our organization has remained true to two basic principles: to educate our youth and to nurture passion in all that they do. We use the tools of competitive soccer to build these young players into strong, excited, productive members of society. What started in 2005 as a couple of dads sharing their love for a game with their bright-eyed daughters has developed into an opportunity to build up the corner stone of our community. This once small desire to coach and play now provides for more than 140 members, their families, and the growing fleet of supporters who see the chance to make a difference. It all began with one solid kick of a soccer ball, and currently represents nine full rosters of players both boys and girls, aged 7 to 18. The players are showing up and working hard. The fans are excited and the fields are full! We will continue to work hard so the kids can play. From a game, we will show them the values that support a healthy life. Hard work, dedication, team work and the courage to recognize the joy in taking care of others is our goal for them and for YOUR child! Join us in our mission. Take the time to investigate our club. We have the full support of the SJYSA, and they have played an essential part in integrating our competitive club in the Saint Joseph community. Thank you SJYSA!

Tryouts are held in June each year. All tryout participants must complete a Missouri Valley Soccer Club Registration Form As soon as tryouts are over, you need to finalize your roster – MUST be turned in to the Club Registrar (Diane Slawson) no later than July 1st. Winter tryouts will be allowed – however, any player you wish to add MUST NOT BE associated with any SJYSA rec team. Practice Teams choose their own practice times. Teams can practice at the SJYSA rec fields at Riverside. Feel free to contact any of the other MVSC teams to scrimmage at any time! Page 4 of 19 Revised 04.22.14 Required Registration & Documentation 1. SJYSA Registration - All competitive players MUST also be registered through SJYSA (even if they’re not playing on a rec team). This fee covers your players’ insurance for practicing at the rec facility at Riverside. a. This MUST be completed BEFORE your competitive roster can be created and finalized by the Club Registrar. [MUST be done prior to August 1st each year – please have your players registered as soon as possible once they receive their email notification that registration is open. ‘The sooner the better!’]. 2. Roster & Cards - Once all players are registered through SJYSA, contact Diane Slawson at SJYSA – turn your roster information in; she can then create, finalize and print your competitive roster. [Diane can begin this process no earlier than August 1st]. *Rosters are locked after August 1st. a. At this time she’ll also print your player cards. i. Player cards will be laminated. You should place them on a ring and have them available at all times when you’re playing – they’re checked by the directors and refs at all competitive games. b. Roster and player cards no longer require players’ signatures. However, you can have them sign both if you’d prefer. i. Rosters and player cards are replaced each season. 3. Medical Waivers – each competitive player MUST have a medical waiver signed each season. A copy of the medical waiver is attached to this document. (This document no longer needs to be notarized). a. You’ll need to have copies of medical waivers with you at each event as well. *Have your player cards & medical waivers in alphabetical order for each event – this makes it much easier at event check-in. Page 5 of 19 Revised 04.22.14 Uploading Players’ Pictures to GotSoccer www.gotsoccer.com User Login (at top of screen) Log in to your Team Account Home – then Roster (this is what you’ll see): First: You’ll need to have your players’ pictures uploaded to the computer you’re using for this. You’ll use your “pictures” folder and upload each player’s picture to their profile. Their pictures will print on the back side of their player cards. Click on the players’ name & this will open their profile: Click on ‘change’. This will allow you to choose the new picture which was saved on your computer. Browse your computer and find the correct photo then hit ‘upload image’: st This needs to be done PRIOR TO August 1 each year – so that way their pictures print on their cards when Diane Slawson prints them with your roster. (Helpful Tip: Either take your phone & take the players’ pictures at a practice OR collect their school pictures each year to use). Once you hit ‘upload image’ it will take you back to the players’ profile – check to assure photo has been uploaded correctly. Then move to the next player, continuing until all of your players’ photos are visible on your roster. Page 6 of 19 Revised 04.22.14 Travel Permits Anytime a team travels out of state for an event (league or tournament), you MUST register for a “travel permit”. [You need to do this at least 1 week in advance & have a copy printed out and with you when you attend the event]. 1. www.gotsoccer.com 2. User Login (at top of screen) 3. Under team account, “Create your account” 4. Events 5. Permission to Travel 6. ‘E-Travel Search’ for your event OR choose ‘e-Travel Other Event’ if not found 7. Complete your information Travel permit costs $15 for each event (League counts as “1” event for each season). It will show as ‘pending’ until they’ve approved it. (May take up to a week for approval). Once approved, you can click on “view” and open your travel permit and print a copy. Reminder: have a copy with you at the event! Page 7 of 19 Revised 04.22.14 Financial Information (Record-Keeping): Each team is responsible for keeping their own checking accounts. a. Debit Cards – much easier for registering for tournaments, etc… Financial information must be available anytime a Board Member asks for it – please keep your records up-to-date. The SJYSA Board of Directors requires copies of each team’s bank statements twice per year – in January and in July. a. We turn this in to Becky Lower, the MVSC Treasurer and she’ll turn the entire Club’s information into the SJYSA Board. Heartland League Fees – we like to send registration fees for league in KC together as a Club. Send your team’s registration fee to Becky Lower prior to the expected deadline & she’ll send one check in for everyone. All teams can register and pay for their own tournaments out of their team accounts. Teams are allowed to do their own fundraising and keep their earnings in their team account. Page 8 of 19 Revised 04.22.14 Volunteer Opportunities: o We, as a club, like to be actively involved in volunteering with the SJYSA rec. o Some opportunities: o Bingo – portion of the proceeds is donated back to the MVSC if there’s Club volunteers o Setting up Fields – moving goals, replacing nets, painting lines on fields, etc… - done before each season. It’s so much easier & gets done so much quicker with more volunteers! o Move Fields – periodically through the season, they move the fields to help salvage the grass. We volunteer to help with this process – again, it’s easier with more volunteers! o Any other opportunity that arises! o We also like to support one another & build comradery with the club. Anytime you have the opportunity, please watch another MVSC team’s game! o We also have begun holding MVSC events – some examples: tailgate at a Missouri Western soccer game; winter indoor practice at the Missouri Western Indoor Facility.

Anytime there will be a change in uniform, a committee is formed – each team will be asked for a representative for the committee. If teams choose to not send a representative, they will not be included on the committee. o Once a uniform is decided upon by the committee, it’s taken to the Board for final approval. Uniforms are ordered as a Club – each team’s uniform representative will be responsible for getting their order to the Club uniform representative for ordering. Payments for uniforms must be received prior to ordering. o Several teams have ordered warm-up jackets and other items. This can be ordered individually or can be ordered with the Club order in order to use the Club order discount. Fan Gear – each team’s fans can design and order ‘fan gear’ on their own. Several teams in the past have used Dreamweaver Graphics & 1st Street Graphics as their vendors.
