CVSA Registration


The following is meant to be a guide for team captains to register their teams in the CVSA. In general, the CVSA accepts applications from individual teams, who then register their individual players. The league doesn't conduct a draft to place individual players on teams, but does have an Available Players page where individual players looking to get onto teams are able to post detailed biographical information in order to facilitate placement and contact from an interested team captain.

How to register your team and players for the upcoming CVSA season...

NOTE: This Guide is published by the CVSA Board. Its provisions supersede those of the CVSA Constitution and CVSA Bylaws, and do so under authority granted by Article XII.A.1 of the CVSA Constitution. It is written for the benefit of the players of the CVSA, and to cover situations not foreseen by the CVSA Constitution and CVSA Bylaws.


Registering Teams
    The Central Virginia Soccer Association (CVSA) holds registration meetings approximately 1 month prior to the start of each season. At these meetings, team representatives can fill out a Team Registration Form. An initial monetary deposit is also required. The deposit is generally the equivalent of the registration fees for 5 players. Teams are not considered registered for a season unless both the Team Registration form and a complete deposit have been received by the league. Information regarding the seasonal registration meetings is generally posted on the CVSA website with at least a week's notice
Registering Players
    Step 1: The first step to getting your players registered is to figure out which players you plan to have on your team and to gather registration materials for each of them

    For players new to the CVSA: Both a player registration form and a new player pass must be filled out

      Individual Player Registration Forms can be printed from the CVSA website. New players must complete these forms fully, including signing the waiver of liability at the bottom. Please note that any players under the age of 18 must have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian

      Player Passes must be filled out by all CVSA participants



        - Blank Player Passes can be picked up from the CVSA office
        - When filling out a Player Pass, please complete the Name, Birth Date and Player's Signature lines. Please leave the I.D. No. blank. A unique I.D. number will be assigned and filled in by the Registrar at the time of registration
        - A picture is required for the pass to be valid. Pictures must be in color, reasonably current and clear enough to verify players identity. Please make sure the picture is clipped or taped to the pass to ensure that the pictures and passes do not get mixed up
        **Please do not use Polaroid pictures as they will melt in the heat of the laminating machine

    For players who have participated in previous CVSA seasons: Any players who have played in the CVSA in the past, should already be in our registration database and the registration forms should already be on file, therefore new registration forms are not required. If these players have existing Player Passes, please collect them so that they can be validated for the current CVSA season. If they do not have existing player passes, new ones will have to be created following the above steps
    **Any players still using a Player Pass with a SSN as the I.D. No. are required to have a new Player Pass made which will then be assigned a new unique I.D. No. Those players will not be added to a roster until a new Player Pass is submitted

Step 2: Now that you've gathered complete registration materials for all of the players you intend to register, turn everything in to the CVSA office. The office is located at 1385 Overbrook Road

Please drop off your Player Passes and Player Registration Forms. Registrations will not be processed "on the spot." Please allow 1 business day for your Passes to be Processed

Step 3: Once the CVSA has received your team's Player Passes and Registration Forms, we will enter any new players in the CVSA's registration database, add each player to your team, validate all Player Passes for the current CVSA season and print a team roster. Once complete, you will be contacted to arrange pickup.

Step 4: All that's left to do is to retrieve your validated Player Passes and roster. It is highly recommended that you call or e-mail the office to verify that someone is there. operations@cvsasoccer.org

What to do during the season

Regular Season Protocol: Make enough copies of your roster to have one available at each of your games. Make sure to have a copy of your roster and all of your Player Passes at each match. Before each game, the referee will request a copy of your roster and your Player Passes. They will check the passes against the roster and the players at the field. The roster will be kept and submitted to the league as a final game report. Your Player Passes will be returned to you at the completion of the match

Adding or removing players once the season has started

Player Additions: Players may be added to your roster once the season has begun by following the above guidelines. For any player added, the team is responsible for the entire player fee for that player, regardless of what point in the season the player is added. Whenever a team's roster is altered, a new roster is created by Shelley. It is important that the new roster be used for all subsequent matches. Any Player Additions requested past the announced Roster Freeze Date are subject to and reliant upon CVSA Board approval

Player Removals: Players may be removed from your roster only if he/she has not participated in any games with your particular team. Game reports will be reviewed to verify that any requested removals have not played. Whenever a team's roster is altered, a new roster is created. It is important that the new roster be used for all subsequent matches. Any removals requested after the first game are subject to and reliant upon CVSA Board approval. After the announced Roster Freeze Date, there is a $25 player removal fee for any approved player removals

Players registered on multiple teams

Restrictions: Players may be registered on as many teams as they'd like. However, per Article II.F.3. of the CVSA Bylaws, "Under no circumstances may a player be registered on two or more teams within the same division at the same time"

Player Passes: Players who are on multiple teams are encouraged to have multiple Player Passes made, one for each team with which they are playing. This will help alleviate the occurrence of a player not having his/her Player Pass at their match because they forgot to retrieve the Pass from their other team
** Any players still using a Player Pass with a SSN as the I.D. No. will need to replace their old Player Pass by having a new one made. When a new Player Pass is made, a unique I.D. No. is assigned to replace the SSN. The team rosters will no longer show the SSN as the I.D. No. and therefore, your old pass will no longer match the roster. Replacing your old Player Pass with the SSN will rectify this problem. Again, any player with an outdated Player Pass using the SSN is required to have a new Player Pass made which will then be assigned a new unique I.D. No.
