  • Have an authorized representative from your club/Organization Member complete the 2025-26 US Club Soccer Organization Member Certification Form. As a reminder, this form is used to confirm US Club Soccer membership renewal and must be completed prior to US Club Soccer player and staff registration or participating in activities within US Club Soccer’s jurisdiction for the applicable registration year. An authorized representative from each club/Organization Member must submit a certification form as an annual requirement beginning. As such, please coordinate with your leadership and colleagues to coordinate who is submitting the form so only one form per club/organization is submitted each year. Further instructions are available here.

  • Ensure your club/organization has at least one active person designed as a “Safeguarding and Compliance Contact” within the “Users” (organization administrators) section of your organization’s GotSport account. Instructions are available here.

  • If you are a new club joining US Club Soccer or a new registrar within an existing US Club Soccer-affiliated club, register for an onboarding webinar. During these webinars, attendees will be provided with an overview of US Club Soccer member administration resources, the player and staff registration process in GotSport, and opportunity for Q&A.

  • View the recorded GotSport-US Club Soccer registration training webinar.

  • Instruct your coaches, managers, org leadership and other individuals to complete their 2025-26 staff registration requirements as soon as possible. We suggest passing along this link, which includes instructions for completing those requirements. Please note that staff (coaches, managers, etc.) are not able to be added to rosters until all registration requirements have been completed.

  • Review and bookmark these links:
  • Release players that are no longer playing for your club.

  • Upload proof of birth documentation for new players.

  • Purchase US Club Soccer player and staff registrations.

  • Complete the SOR-Adverse Eligibility List Review certification for applicable players (ex: those youth players who will be 18+ years old on or before July 31, 2026 as part of the 2025-26 season).

  • Coordinate SafeSport completion for applicable players (ex: those youth players who will be 18+ years old on or before July 31, 2026, as part of the 2025-26 season). Please review the SafeSport section of the Player Registration web page for details.

Changes for the 2026-27 registration season:

Please be advised that US Club Soccer – along with US Youth Soccer and AYSO – will return to an age group formation based on Aug. 1-July 31, rather than Jan. 1-Dec. 31, beginning with the 2026-27 registration season. More information can be found in this Member Update. The Age Groups web page is also a helpful resource.
