NSC FALL CUP PLAYER POOL PROGRAM

Coaches, are you short of players due to injury or other commitments? Aren't having any luck finding a player to complete your roster? Then the NSC Fall Cup Player Pool is for you. It connects coaches with players who want to have the NSC Fall Cup experience.

Pool Players Seeking a Team

  • »  Only players registered with a USSF or FIFA affiliated association are eligible.
  • »  Complete the player pool registration
  • »  Interested coaches will contact you directly by email.
  • »  Remember: Pool players may only participate on one team.
  • »  If you are picked up by a team:
    • »  Provide the coach with your player code for release of your information to the team roster.
    • »  Remove your name from the player pool for that event by unchecking the participation box.
    • »  Obtain individual permission to travel from your state association, non-Minnesota players only. This process varies among states. It may be a letter or a player loan/release form signed by an authorized representative of your state association releasing you to guest play.
    • »  Obtain your player pass from your regular season coach.
    • »  Your tournament coach will not be able to complete Final Team Check-in without your player pass, causing unnecessary delays. Either get your player pass to the coach prior to Final Team Check-in or check in yourself prior to the coach's arrival at Final Team Check-in.
    • »  Be prepared with the name of your team and the team's tournament ID number for faster service at Final Team Check-in.

Coaches Seeking Guest Players

  • »  Log into online roster management; select player pool.
  • »  Search for players by division, level and/or position.
  • »  Click the player’s first name for contact by email.
  • »  If the individual agrees to participate on your team, the player will provide his/her player code necessary for release of information to your roster.
  • »  Return to online roster management player pool. Click the green check mark before the player’s name; enter the player code, which will add the player’s contact information and liability waiver electronically to your roster.
  • »  You will not be able to complete Final Team Check-in without all player passes, causing unnecessary delays and maybe even a return trip to Final Team Check-in. Either make arrangements with your guest player to secure the player pass in advance of Final Team Check-in or have your guest player check in prior to your arrival at Final Team Check-in. Copies of player passes are not accepted.
