NEW TEAM REGISTRATION

 

Note:  All teams are considered "new teams" at the start of the Fall season each year.

With the use of Demosphere, team carding with the league is much more simplified as all leagues within Ohio Soccer Association are also using Demosphere.  Families upload birth certificates and photos for each player into their Demosphere accounts.   The only forms that you need to collect are the Indiana or Kentucky Out of State Permission to Play forms for players that reside in Indiana or Kentucky.  Refer to the section below titled "IN & KY Out-of-State Permission to Play" for details.

Refer to the Team Admin>Coach Responsibilities page of the website for the Risk Management process for coaches.

Steps to get your team carded/rostered with CPL or TPL:

1.  Confirm Roster - Confirm that all players have accepted and are listed with your team in Demosphere.  Confirm that your team has at least two Coaches assigned in Demosphere.  (You can have up to three.)  If there is a Team Admin, he/she should also be assigned to the team.

2.  Verify Photos - Verify that a photo has been uploaded for every player and coach in Demosphere.  It should be a head shot only.  No one else should be in the photo.  No sunglasses or hats.

3.  Player Proof of Birth - Demosphere will show a player as Verified or Not Verified.  Verified means that their birth certificate has already been approved in the system.  No action is needed.  If the player is Not Verified, it either means:  1. They have not upload a birth certificate yet, or 2.  The birth certificate has been uploaded, but has not yet been reviewed/approved.  You will not be able to see if a birth certificate is uploaded.  For the players that are Not Verified, just check with your families to verify that they did upload the BC.

4.  Out of State Forms (IN & KY) - Send the approved forms to [email protected].  See section below.

5.  Coach/Admin Risk Management - Verify that all coaches and admins have completed all Risk tasks.  (You will not be able to see this in Demosphere.)  Refer to the Team Admin>Coach Responsibilities page of the website for the Risk Management process.

6.  Once all these steps have been completed, send an email to [email protected], to let the Club Administrator know that your team is ready for review.

** Deadline:  Complete at least 2 weeks before your first game.

The Club Administrator will let you know if anything is missing in Demosphere for players or coaches.  The Club Administrator will then let you know when your approved cards and roster are ready for pick-up.
 

ROSTER CHANGES DURING THE SEASON

 

Teams that already have an approved roster for the seasonal year will use these steps to make subsequent roster changes.

Teams that do not already have an initial roster (including high school teams only playing in the spring) should refer to the NEW TEAM REGISTRATION section above.

     ** Note:  If you do not have any changes to your roster from the fall to the spring season, no action is required!

 

Overview for Roster Changes:

For a Transfer:  Obtain the Inter Team Transfer Form (signed by player & coach of team player is transferring from) (see Team Admin>Important Documents)

For a Player Quit:  Obtain the Voluntary Quit Form (this MUST be signed by player, parent and coach)(see Team Admin>Important Documents)

Send the Club Administrator:
1.  Player Name
2.  Current team name
3.  New club and team name
4.  A photo of the current player card, cut in half, as proof that it has been destroyed.
5.  Completed Transfer or Player Quit Form


The club with the incoming transfer will initiate the transfer in the Demosphere system.  Our Club Administrator will either initiate the transfer or contact the Club Administrator for the other club to initiate the transfer, as appropriate.

Once the transfer is final in Demosphere and all required paperwork is received, a new card and roster will be provided.

 

IN & KY OUT-OF-STATE PERMISSION TO PLAY

Players that are residents of Indiana or Kentucky must complete the Out-of-State Permission to Play form for that respective state.  This form is good for an entire seasonal year (Fall and Spring seasons).  The form must be remitted to the state along with the required payment, if applicable.  The state will return an approved form and the approved form should be included with the registration paperwork.  Note that it might take a few weeks for the form to be processed by the state.
