CANADIAN TEAM CHECKLIST

Tournament Sanctioning and Insurance Information

» Preliminary roster is due June 15. All players, including guest players, must be listed on the tournament roster. Enter the player name, position and unique jersey number. Remember: there is NO jersey sharing. The player address, birth date and college coaches recruiting information (ages U16-U19), will be completed by the parent utilizing the online waiver. The information will automatically populate your tournament roster, making your job that much easier.

» Addresses required; addresses are directly linked to the NSC Liability Waiver as required by the State of Minnesota.
» Roster changes may continue until the following dates:
- » Friday, July 9 at 0900: Schwan’s USA CUP Weekend
- » Monday, July 12 at 0900: Schwan’s USA CUP
- » Final rosters will be printed on these dates/times for Final Team Check-in and will not reflect player addresses.
- » If a player must be added after these dates/times, print an updated roster and bring it to Final Team Check-in.

» Provide parents with the tournament ID number for this task. Players are not permitted to participate in the tournament without a completed NSC Waiver on file.
