If your team's original registration paperwork was submitted to Vikings for Fall 2011 play, then San Francisco Vikings Soccer League is your Home League.
Vikings League does not run a recreational spring season. The spring season is run by SFPAL (Police Activities League). However, as your league of registration, all roster changes are handled by Vikings League. This means that all scheduling questions should be directed to SFPAL and all roster issues should be directed to Vikings League.
To begin with, a clarification for your PAL documentation:
Teams need to follow PAL registration rules, which differ from Vikings.
Note that PAL will honor new CYSA guidelines for transfers (see Transferring Players section below).
All teams will need to attend a registration appointment with PAL.
Completed paperwork (for at least the PAL-required minimum number of players) must be complete before your PAL appointment.
What must you bring to your PAL Appointment?
Visit the PAL website at: http://www.sfpal.org/soccer/ for their requirements.
Major differences include:
- PAL requires at least 2 F-licensed coaches on the roster
- and any adult (coach, manager, etc.) on the roster must get a criminal background check
Does your team need to update its roster for the Spring season?
If so, Vikings teams make desired changes with the Vikings office in advance of their PAL appointment.
Remember, PAL charges a fee for every player listed on the updated roster. Therefore, you may want to remove any non-participating players from your roster (see below: Only removing players or adults).
Getting your paperwork processed
Paperwork for spring play is much simpler to process and can be done while you wait - and some processing can even be done electronically. (see below: If your team is...)
If your team is...
- Making no changes from your fall roster
Cost: (FREE)
Action Deadline: Jan 10th, 2012
If your Fall roster requires no change, you must only notify Vikings by January 10th, 2012 that your team will not be updating your roster. Email sfviking@pacbell.net and don't forget to include your Team Name/TIN.
If your Fall roster is fine as is, you do not need to come into the Vikings office, just bring your Fall player passes to your PAL registration meeting along with PAL's other required paperwork.
- Removing players or adults
Cost: (FREE)
Action Deadline: Jan 10th, 2012
