Player Registration

Once your age group’s rosters have been submitted and tryouts have concluded, the SAC Office will send Managers a link to a shared document. This shared document will be used throughout the year to keep track of players’ registrations. The SAC Office will keep the shared document updated to reflect players’ current registration and payment status. Managers are asked to monitor the shared document and encourage completion of all tasks as well as enter a jersey number for each player.

PlayMetrics

All player registration fees will now be collected through PlayMetrics. As players accept a position on a Travel team, the SAC Office will send them a registration invitation through PlayMetrics. Players, Coaches and Managers must complete an MSYSA registration each year to be added to the team’s official MSYSA roster. Coaches and Managers must also complete the Concussion and Safe Sport Training and submit for a background check each year. Additionally, a coaching license must be uploaded for the team’s head coach before the team can be approved.


MSYSA (Maryland Youth Soccer Association) Registration

Players, Coaches and Managers must complete an MSYSA registration each year to be added to the team’s official MSYSA roster. Coaches and Managers must also complete the Concussion and Safe Sport Training and submit for a background check each year. Additionally, a coaching license must be uploaded for the team’s head coach before the team can be approved.



Any questions regarding MSYSA registration should be directed to Christine O’Brien (christine@sachc.org). Once all players, all coaches and the manager have completed all necessary registrations and trainings, Christine will submit the roster for approval.


Under Armour Travel Uniforms and Accessories

Ewing has uploaded all the players that were registered in PlayMetrics by mid-June into their new ordering system.  Managers can see their team when they log into their Ewing account and monitor who has purchased their uniform kit.  If a player is added to your team or registered after the upload, you will need to add them to the Ewing system.  Once added to the team account, parents can follow this link to create an order:  Ewing Sports
