Payment in Full - If you are paying your club fees in full, you are eligible for a $50 discount. On the payment screen, click the "enter promo discount code" button and enter the appropriate code below (case sensitive) for the team's play level to apply discount.

  • FULLPAYC1 - Classic 1/PMSL team
  • FULLPAYC2 - Classic 2/OPEN team
  • FULLPAYJA - Junior Academy team

ADDITIONAL FEES (DO NOT APPLY TO TRYOUTS/EVALUATIONS)
Select/Jr Academy:
 A $50 fundraiser opt-out fee will be added by default for each player. If you prefer to sell/buy at least $50 worth of raffle tickets for the annual Jesse Eudy Memorial Charity Golf Tournament, you can uncheck the box beside the fee to remove it.
Recreation: A $25 volunteer opt-out fee will be added by default for each player. If you are assisting your childs team as a volunteer coach or have agreed to volunteer in another capacity, you can uncheck the box next to the fee to remove it.


Birth Certificate / Photo Information (IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ):

ALL players are REQUIRED by US Youth Soccer to submit a copy of their birth certificate in order to play. In addition, all Select and Jr Academy players are REQUIRED to have a current photo on file. Both items are required before a player can be added to an official roster for the upcoming season.

 

New players (or birth certificate has not been uploaded): please upload the player's birth certificate and photo during registration or email them to Lisa Simmons at registrar@congareerapid.com. See photo requirements below.

 

If you are a returning player: please be sure that the uploaded photo is current, very clear (not blurry/out of focus) and ONLY their head and shoulders are in the square. If the answer to any of these is "no", please email a new photo to registrar@congareerapid.com ASAP. See photo requirements below.

Photo requirements:

  • Must be a current photo, a close up head shot (ONLY from the chest up) and preferably against a blank wall (like a passport or driver's license photo).
  • Photo must be light and in focus, not dark or blurry. Look at the photo before you send or upload it. If you can't see the player's face very clearly, the ref won't be able to either!
  • The player must be the ONLY one in the photo, facing and looking directly at the camera.
  • NO other people in the photo or background
  • NO hat or sunglasses
  • NO action shots
  • NO group photos
  • Must be an image file (.jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .tif) - Do not send a photo in a PDF format.
  • Birth certificates can be a PDF or image file

Keep in mind that this photo will go on the player pass that is used to verify the player at games and tournaments, so if it is too small, blurry/out of focus, too much in the background, too far away, or a group or action shot, we will have to request a new photo. If you have an option to choose a file/image size, choose the largest size. I can crop and resize it down if needed but can't make it larger without it getting distorted. This also applies to photos of birth certificates.


Coach/Team Volunteer Requirements (IMPORTANT):

ALL coaches, team managers, team volunteers, etc (including Recreation) are REQUIRED by US Youth Soccer to complete the following BEFORE working directly with players or being added to a roster:

  • Submit a background check - SCYSA Background Check
  • Complete and submit SafeSport Abuse Prevention Program - US Soccer SafeSport Program
  •   Log in if you already have an account. If not, create one making sure to complete all questions.
