Registration PRIOR TO TOURNAMENT: (Updated 5.13.2025) 

Digital Player Waivers are required for tournament play. Hard copy waivers at the tournament are not accepted. When a player is added to your digital roster on TeamSnap Tournaments, they will receive an email “invite” to be on your team. Accepting the digital waiver by parents/ guardians will move the team member to your active roster. This active roster is your team for the tournament. Please verify that your team members have accepted the TeamSnap ‘invitation’ to play in the tournament. Encourage those that have not to do so as soon as possible. Players that have not accepted the ‘invitation’ will not be permitted to play.
