PLAYER REGISTRATION

All players must have a complete registration packet including complete financial forms before registration will be accepted. (see checklist below)

All applications must be submitted via the electronic registration process. No handwritten forms can be accepted.

Please read the following paragrpahs before entering the Cal South (website) electronic registration system. The link is a the bottom of this section.

For Returning Players: Once you are on the Real So Cal front page of the Cal South website, Click on “register” and then log onto your existing account. If you have forgotten your user name and/or password, you can enter your player’s personal information and the system will locate your player for you. If you still cannot find your player, please call the Cal South technical assistance line listed at the bottom of the website’s front page and have it reset. (THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD CALL CAL SOUTH DIRECTLY.) DO NOT simply create a new account. The reason this is important is that your child has been assigned a player number. The player number on the card must match the player number on the form. If you just open a new account, your child will be assigned a new player number on the form and then the registration form and the player card will not match.

Once you have gotten into your account, follow the instructions.

Make sure that you print a copy of the registration form and sign it. The Volunteer Agreement/Parent Acknowledgment form will also print at this time. The original of this document also needs to be filled out and submitted with your registration.

For New Players: Once you are on the Real So Cal front page of the Cal South website Click on “register”, the “new player”. Make sure that the name you register your player under is exactly as it appears on their birth certificate (no nicknames). Your club is Real So Cal and your playing level is “competitive”.

Make sure that you print a copy of the form and originally sign it. The Volunteer Agreement/Parent Acknowledgment form will also print at this time. The original of this document also needs to be filled out and submitted with your registration.

All Players:

Payment: You may pay your club fees either by check or with a credit card. (Credit card payments may be made from our Online Payment Link on our website.) Attach the check for the players fees, credit card authorization and promissory note as needed. No card will be issued without proof of required payment.
Pictures: Each player pass requires a headshot photo of the player. One of the new options on the Calsouth system is the capability to upload your player’s picture. This is a great function and should be done where possible. However, please note that the picture inserted should be a passport style, cropped headshot only (from the top of their head to the tip of their chin). If you did not upload your player’s picture during the registration process, you will need to provide two pictures of your player to your manager at time of registration.
Birth Certificate (NEW PLAYERS): Your team manager will need to take the players original birth certificate or certified copy of the birth certificate to team registration to show our club registrar. The original will then be returned to you. Please submit the original birth certificate to your manager along with one copy. Under NO circumstances will a hospital birth record be accepted. According to CYSA regulations this constitutes an ineligible player, and all games this player participates in are subject to forfeit.
Parent/Player Agreement and Volunteer Form – An originally signed Parent/Player Agreement and Volunteer Form must be submitted at the time of registration.
Promissory Note: A promissory must be completed if full payment is not paid at time of registration. The amount of the promissory note should be the amount left unpaid.
Financial Aid Application: Financial Aid is only provided on a need basis. Please note that you must also fill out a financial aid application if you are paying full price but request a different payment plan other than the three payment program. At the beginning of the season, all Financial Aid Applications must be submitted to Howard Fink by May 15^th for approval. (BE SURE TO WRITE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS ON THE APPLICATION)
