PLEASE NOTE:

• We recommend that you work with your database provider to ensure that all the required information gets exported.
• Clubs should do their best to minimize the number of spreadsheets provided to MSYSA each year.
• An invoice for every player listed on every spreadsheet submitted to MSYSA each seasonal year will be issued.
• It is the responsibility of the club to remove duplicate player registrations to avoid additional registration fees.

Players are not considered properly registered, and therefore not covered by insurance, until both the spreadsheet and payment have been received from the club.
