SFYS PLAYER REGISTRATION
As with every season, Players may register on ONE TEAM only!
- While players are allowed to guest on multiple teams, each roster must have a minimum amount of unique players (SF Rec & Park rule). This is to keep field allocations fair across all leagues of play (SF Microsoccer, SFYS Recreational, SF Competitive Upper House, SFYS Varsity, CalNorth CCSL, NorCal/NPL, ECNL, MLSNext). So consider carefully where your player wants to practice and play before registering for a team, as it is not always possible to transfer to another team.
- Players are considered Free Agents for Spring registration. No team or club may automatically re-roster a player. Players determine where they play.

- Spring team fees are team-based and paid by a team administrator or club registrar. There is no registration cost for players returning from the Fall 23 season. Players new to SFYS will pay a $30 fee at registration to cover insurance and administrative costs.

- Spring team fees are team-based, but financial aid is still given on an individual basis. Once a player's application is reviewed, the aid amount will be applied as a refund to the team fee paid by a team administrator, who will in turn deduct that amount from the player's family contribution.
