These instructions are for coaches/team managers of Vikings Select/Traveling Teams only (teams playing in the Alvarez/Redwood/Abronzino/ Delgado and Golden State League).

One person can bring in paperwork for a maximum of two teams for which they are associated.

Hint: Prior to making your appointment, know when the team plans to play their first game.

Please allow THREE weeks for Vikings and the District Registrar to process your paperwork.

Step 4: Complete Team Registration Paperwork

You may submit one or multiple checks, although we prefer one check. Write team name, TIN, and player name in memo field.

c. CYSA YOUTH SOCCER MEMBERSHIP FORMS 1601 (rev 05/05 or later) for each player signed by parent in two places. If players are 18 or over they must sign the form, not the parents.

Step 5:  Attend Appointment to Submit Paperwork and Have Field Requests Ready
All Registration steps (online and paperwork) must be 100% completed by your appointment or it will be cancelled!
Please submit the paperwork as listed in the order above for each player/coach as they apply. Then put paper-clipped set of paperwork in alphabetical order by last name with coahces/adults on top of the stack.

Save Time: PUT THE YOUTH FORMS IN LAST NAME ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

When you attend the registration appointment, have in mind what your practice days, times, and fields will be. Have a second and third choice ready. Check with coach/es ahead of time on what days/times they are available.

We will ask you for your first date of tournament play and the name of your tournament. Please check with the coach or team manager prior to attending your appointment.

Step 6:  Complete District Paperwork
In addition to registering with the Vikings League you may have other paperwork requried by District 1, such as the District 1 Application for Fall Play. This form is due on April 18. Please make certain the head coach signs the form. District forms will be turned in to the District registrar and Commissioner for you by the Vikings League.

Additional Information:
All Select Team registration materials must be reviewed and approved by the District Registrar. After the Vikings League processes your paperwork, we will deliver it to the District Registrar. Paperwork going through other leagues or districts may have other deadlines.

Check with your Club for any additional requirements. In addition to registering with the Vikings League you must pay your Annual Vikings Club dues of $50.00 plus any other fees as requried by your team coach/manager to cover expenses. Please make those checks payable to SF Vikings Soccer Club. Please put your team name, age and player last name in the check memo. Parent Pledges should also be filled out and submitted to the team manager/coach. Teams must also follow any playing league deadlines and requirements. Please allow THREE weeks for Vikings and the District Registrar to process your paperwork.
