Member organizations that use the U.S. Soccer Connect Club registration platform (old Blue Sombrero) and are properly integrated with U.S. Youth and Mass Youth Soccer do not upload player registration data. The video and help guide linked below will explain how to properly integrate your registration program which will allow your data to go directly to Mass Youth Soccer.
Should you choose not to use the integrated registration function, please notify Rachel Woo.

REGISTRATION DATABASE
Each youth soccer organization in the state must compile and maintain a registration database. Most organizations appoint a Registrar to oversee all such registration functions. The database will contain identifying information for each individual involved in the organization.
COMPILING THE REGISTRATION DATABASE
Due to new requirements from US Soccer’s implementation of their National Data Center and the convergence to new US Soccer Connect system we must receive more information than needed in the past. Certain U.S. Soccer questions have been added, but are not required (Country of Birth, Country of Citizenship and Played Abroad). One parent email address is now required.
