2020 - 2021 Seasonal Registration Open |
Insurance coverage from the previous season is no longer valid. The only way to ensure that your players, team staff and club officials, are covered for medical insurance and liability coverage is by making sure they are all listed in RosterPro as part of your organization.
Completing registration within the club website does not ensure coverage for players. They must be registered with NYSW as well.
