Dear Direct Member Representative,
This message contains important information regarding MSYSA registration in GotSport for the Spring 2024 season. Please review carefully. If someone else from your club/league should receive this information, please forward accordingly.

Registration in GotSport:
The process to submit registrations to MSYSA in GotSport is the same for Spring 2024 as it was for Fall 2023. As a reminder, only those participants (players, coaches, & managers) who are approved on event rosters within MSYSA affiliated events will be registered with MSYSA. Teams must be enrolled in A) an event from one of MSYSA’s affiliated scheduling leagues, or B) one of MSYSA’s State Registration events. A club cannot use their own ‘event’ to submit registrations to MSYSA.
For MSYSA ‘scheduling leagues’:
Continue maintaining league event rosters for your participating teams, in your respective league events in GotSport.
For MSYSA non-scheduling league direct members –Below are links to updated registration resources.
Viewing Individual Registrations in GotSport:
Clubs and leagues can now view a list of individual registrations in GotSport by going to Club Management > Registrations> Details (at the top), and using the ‘Saved Reports’ button, choose ‘23-24 Invoiced Registrations’. This allows the club or league to see who has been registered by MSYSA in MSYSA events for seasonal year 23/24. Clubs can change the ‘Registrations As’ filter to ‘Club’ and it will show all the invoiced registrations for that club in all events for the seasonal year. Additional filters can be used at that point to find more specific information.
Registration Assistance Offer:
As we’ve done in past years, MSYSA is extending optional GotSport Registration Assistance to our direct members, for a nominal fee of $0.50/participant. If your club experienced issues using GotSport to coordinate your registrations in Fall 2023 consider taking advantage of this service! For more details, please review here.
Pool Teams:
If using pool teams for your club’s in-house registrations, MSYSA recommends that clubs hide the team player lists. For more information and instructions on this, please review this support article: How to Hide the Player List from Coaches/Managers/Players
Player Account Minimum Required Fields:
The minimum required fields to add a player into GotSport are: First Name, Last Name, Gender, DOB, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone Number, Parent First Name, Parent Last Name, Parent Email/UserID, and Competitive Level. MSYSA is required to provide player data to US Youth Soccer and US Soccer, but we cannot do so if these fields are incomplete.
Player Account Locks:
Once a player has been approved on a roster, their account info (name, DOB, and gender) will be locked from editing. If you need to make a change to a player account that is locked, please contact the appropriate affiliated league, or the MSYSA State Office, so the change can be made to the player account.
Other GotSport Resources for Clubs:
*Note Regarding Duplicates- When merging duplicate player accounts, be sure to ‘keep’ any player account that has a USSF ID number.
Risk Management Resources
The Risk Management Resources page of the MSYSA website includes help guides pertaining to Risk Management in GotSport, including MSYSA RM FAQs. As a reminder, all participating adults must maintain the following Risk Management certifications (known as “Requirements” in GotSport):
- Background check (annually)
- SafeSport training (annually)
- CDC Heads Up (every 3 years)
Clubs/leagues must ensure that participating adults complete (and maintain) the 3 required Risk Management certifications prior to, and throughout the duration of, their affiliated participation and contact with minor players.
