CONFLICT NOTICES - link at PreSeason Conflict Notification
=== === === === === === === === === === === ===
Conflict Notification submissions are due from League Contacts about the time Final Flighting is posted.  Check the calendar page for the exact date for the upcoming season.  If teams are not familiar with Preseason Conflict Notifications (PCN's), please get in touch with your Club's League Contact.

• COACHES - Review the Game Dates on the web calendar and check with your team families now for any major date conflicts. If you find there is a conflict on a date where you can not field a team, get in touch with your club's League Contact so they may submit a PCN (Preseason Conflict Notice) by the deadline.

• If necessary, one or two conflict notices may be submitted for any team who know there will be a conflict for the majority of their players and can not field a team on a particular published game date.

• PCN's may only be be submitted by League Contacts

• PCN's may only be submitted for teams that have registered and who's registration record is not flagged with an error.

• A PCN's submitted by your League Contact by the deadline will allow a rescheduling of a game falling on the conflict date.

• PCN's submitted after the deadline can not be honored.

• NEW - As PCN's are received they will be logged on the Preseason Conflict Notices Received page so you can see what has been submitted and received.

• PCN's will be reflected on the Home Game Schedule files sent out to club Field Schedulers.  All date conflicts must have alternate details (date/time/field) are resolved by both teams and included on the Home Game Schedule Files returned by the clubs in late March.

CARDING PACKETS (distributed to CLUB REGISTRARS)
=== === === === === === === === === === === ===

NJYS Player and Coach passes are valid from September 1 through August 31 (the soccer seasonal year.)

• Spring teams that played in any league the prior Fall season, and have already been carded with NJYS passes, do not need new passes and are termed "RETURNING" teams.

• Teams playing this Spring Season for the first time are termed "NEW" teams and will need NJYS passes.

• Teams that do not have NJYS passes are always termed "NEW" teams and will need to register with NJYS via the GotSoccer to get passes. (US Club Soccer passes can not be used in MCYSA.)  The GotSoccer registration system went into effect commencing with the Fall 2010 season.  Your club's Primary Carding Contact will let you know the proper procedure for that process.

• Division 1 or 2 teams that have already purchased and received a Carding Packet do not need new packets, but should be listed as  "NEW" teams on the club and team registrations in order for our counts to be correct. If you've already paid for the packet, there are NO additional registration fees due - but a full registration record must be submitted for the team.

• Carding Packets will be ordered based on the number of registrations received and will be distributed at a League Contact meeting or special carding meeting.

• IF you have not mailed in your clubs Registration Fees remember they must accompanied by the new Payment Form (can be downloaded from the REGISTRATION or FORMS link on the home page.)

• Checks are no longer mailed to the Parsippany PO Box - new mailing instructions are included on the update Payment Forms.

REFEREE Courses

We encourage anyone interested in becoming a referee or upgrading their referee license continue to check the class listings at www.njrefs.com 

• Clubs: There are many budding Referees amongst our coaching, parent, and player ranks. Please encourage folks within your community to become Youth Soccer Referees. Teenage and college age players are motivated by a recent increase in game fees and the potential for experiences that can last a lifetime. For those who have hung up the boots it's a great way to stay close to a game many of us love. Parents have an opportunity to give back to the game as a Referee or simply an opportunity to participate in a class to better understand the laws of the game. I've known many coaches who have encourage existing players to participate as Referee's to better their knowledge of the game. I've never met a coach or X-player that regretted the experience of becoming a Referee and many retain their licenses for years to come.
