One hour before every match the coach MUST bring all of the rostered player with their photo player ID card to the Tournament Check-In table.

This is not only a player check-in it is also the player safety check. The safety checks are not done on the field, so when the players arrive for this check in they MUST be geared up and ready to take the field. This means sweatshirts/pants off, shin guards on, cleats on and all jewelry removed.

Please Note: Prior to the first game of the tournament the Coach MUST complete a team check in first. DO NOT bring the players up for check in until this has been completed. For this reason we strongly recommend the coach take advantage of the Early Check-In on the Thursday before the tournament.
