Player registration for Fall 2010 is now available!
Before continuing, please read ALL of the following important information:

NOTE: This on-line registration form applies ONLY to GMSA teams.  We do not handle registration for NASL (Nonconnah Area Soccer League) at this time.  If you are playing with NASL, please contact their representatives for registration procedures in that league.

To register, you must already be affiliated with a team...meaning, you must have already contacted a team's coach/manager, or otherwise been "approved" by that team to register with them.  Coaches will review their rosters after registration...any "unknown" players will be dropped from the roster.  If you are currently looking to get on a team, please visit our league message form, and visit the "Teams Seeking Players" and "Players Seeking Teams" sections.

The soccer "fiscal year" starts over each August 1st through July 31st.  Every player is considered to be "new" the first time he or she registers during that "fiscal year", regardless of whether that player played in previous seasons.  All "new" players are required to pay the $25 TSSA registration fee during their first registration for that year, which is incorporated into all registration fees.  See below for this season's fees:

Pre-season fees for Fall 2010 (includes field rental & sales tax, league fee, and state registration:

If you are playing for one team, men's/women's OR coed:

$118.00
If you are playing for two teams, men's/women's AND coed (add $5.00 dual registration fee): $123.00
Register by 11:59 pm on Saturday, July 24th, receive discount of:

$5.00

In-season fees:
If you transfer from one team to another between seasons (between Fall and Spring, or between Spring and Fall): No Charge
If you transfer from one team to another after you register for either the Fall or Spring season: $25.00
If you initially registered for only one team, and wish to add to a second team (dual-register) during the season: $5.00
All players who register after 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, August 9th, add late fee of: $15.00

Please read the following information carefully before opening the registration form:

About Active.com:  The on-line registration service is provided through Active.com, which is also endorsed and utilized by Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA).  This registration option is provided through a secure server to assure confidentiality and security for your credit card information.  Registering on-line requires the use of a Visa, Visa Check Card, or MasterCard.  Please note that there is a small processing fee that will be charged for all on-line registrations by Active.com.  This processing fee is non-refundable.

When you open the actual registration form, PLEASE read all of the options on the registration form CAREFULLY.  There are a few different options which may or may not apply to you.  Please make note of the instructions on the confirmation page (after you submit payment), particularly those concerning the submission of a PHOTOGRAPH for your player card.
 

Player Card Photo Required:  We must have a "head-shot" photo for you, or your registration will not be finalized, and you will NOT be able to play.  No exceptions.  If we have a photo for you from the last five years, you do not need to submit another.  If you have not submitted a new photo in the last five years, please submit a new one as soon as possible. If your photo is missing, you will be contacted by the league when player cards are printed, though this will delay your eligibility.

Photos should preferably be emailed to our registrar at photos@memphissoccer.com.  Please include your name and team name(s) in the body of the email.  If necessary, photos can be mailed to GMSA Registrar, P.O. Box 382577, Germantown, TN  38138.  (Digital photos emailed in JPG format are preferred.) 

You can also attend in-person registration on Sunday, July 25th to have your photo taken.  (2:00-4:00 pm at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex Conference Room.)
 

Changing or Transferring Teams:  If you are changing teams at any point (from last season to this season, or at any point DURING this season), you are required by league rules to notify the coach of the team that you are leaving (via email) BEFORE you register (or fill out the transfer paperwork/fees, if applicable). 

This email must be sent to the coach/manager of the team you are leaving, and it must copied ("CCed") to the league at: results@memphissoccer.com.  This rule was put in place during 2006, to prevent coaches from being "blind-sided" by player defections, and to allow coaches the time and opportunity to replace players who are leaving their team.  Failure to give the proper notification may result in a fine, suspension, or both.
 

When Will I Be Eligible To Play?:  The registration schedule for Fall 2010 is listed a the bottom of this page.  Please be aware of these dates and times.  Note that you must register before the initial registration cut-off (August 9th) to be eligible for your first match.  If you miss the initial registration cutoff, the next registration update will not be made until the first Wednesday of the season...meaning you won't be eligible until that following Sunday, March 1st, at the earliest

(There is an extra gap after the initial registration deadline for our registrar to process the information, print player cards, etc. from the first group of more than 1,000 players.)  For a list of those players who are registered and eligible, please consult the registrar's report.
 

Refund Policy (Important):  Below is a summary of the league's current refund policy:

* Before a team’s first game: If a player has already registered, but determines that he or she cannot play during the up-coming season (schedule change, injury, etc.) prior to his/her team’s first scheduled match, then that player may request a refund of all fees paid during registration prior to the date of their team's first match (minus the processing fees charged by active.com, if that player paid on-line).

* During a team’s first game: If a player is injured during his or her team's first match, and will be unable to participate further in that season, that player may request that registration fees be "held" for future use. This means that fees cannot be refunded, but rather can be applied to a future season in which that player can participate, up to 18 months out from the date of the injury. (This is done for insurance purposes related to an injury.)

  • To request a hold on registration fees, the player must notify the league registrar in writing (GMSAreg@comcast.net) within seven days of the injury, or prior to his team’s next match, whichever comes first.
     
  • For example, if a player is injured during the first game of the Spring 2010 season, that player may ask that fees be "held" by the league, to be used for either the Fall 2010, Spring 2011 or Fall 2011 season. After the Fall 2011 season, the fees are forfeited to the league, if the player has not resumed participation at that point. The player would need to contact the registrar via email to indicate that they wish to use their "held" fees to be able to register for that season.
     
  • In either case above, the team’s manager must void any copies of that player’s league-issued player pass.

* After a team’s first match: If a player is injured at any point after their team’s first match, or determines that he/she cannot continue to participate for any other reason, that player is no longer eligible for a refund.  All registration fees (payable for field rental, state registration, etc.) are paid to the respective locations around this time, and are no longer refundable at that point.
 

Thank you for registering online:  We hope this on-line registration system continues to be a useful and worthwhile service.  It has proven to be extremely popular and well-received during the last few seasons that we have used it.  Almost 90% of all players registered on-line last season, so we believe that speaks for itself. 

Please contact our league registrar, Michael Dumas at GMSAreg@comcast.net, if you have any questions or comments about on-line registration.

Enjoy the season!
