PLAYER REGISTRATION PROCESS - Important new information

There is a new process for the registration of players since the AGM earlier this year and I think some teams have missed the changes designed to make player registration easier for our member teams.

The NEW PROCESS is that the team secretary should add ALL the players they wish to register to a form (maximum of 12 on each form).  DO NOT do individual forms for players please unless you are only registering one player.

There is no longer the need to get the player or his parent or your witness to sign the form. No signatures required on the form now. You don't even need to print the form nor create a PDF. This makes registration easier for
the team secretary.

You then have to take a note of the following information from your created form.

Team Name
Team ID
Age group
Form number

You then collect all the electronic permissions for all the players and keep them safe.

You do however require to comply with the following rule for the supplementary and playing rules.  47. - Teams must obtain written consent from a player's parent/carer before
adding them to a registration form. A copy of this consent must be retained by the team for the duration of the season. This can be in an Email Format.  Then you MUST email
syfareg@scottish-football.com and give the following information. Please ONLY send one request to this email and not multiple emails.

Team Name - Team ID - AGE GROUP - FORM NUMBER and ask for them to be registered confirming you have collected the electronic permissions from the parents/guardians.

All the players on the form will be registered for your team.  If any players must be removed, you do that by cancelling the player on the system.

I hope this make life easier for you and for the registration process.
