Cincy SC players must be registered with either US Youth Soccer or US Club Soccer to compete in league and tournament games. Most players are registered with US Youth Soccer. Our youngest players (U8, U9, and some U10) may be registered with US Club soccer.
US Soccer Connect
In 2018, US Youth Soccer and it’s local subsidiary Ohio South Youth Soccer Association (OSYSA) implemented US Soccer Connect, aka Stack, a new system for registering players and coaches with US Youth Soccer and its member leagues. Parents will create a member account and then add their family members. The member account is permanent, as is the birth certificate and photo that must be uploaded (pictures can be updated later).
All parents need to then complete the next step of registering each player with Cincy SC in Stack each year.
Your PA or a club administrator will use the information entered into the website to create rosters and player cards. There may be an additional form or two to sign at a later date related to tournaments.
US Club Soccer Registration Info
For teams playing in the EPL or other league sanctioned by US Club Soccer, we must have the following documents for each player:
- Headshot photo for the player card (a .jpg or .png file)

- US Club Soccer player registration and medical release form (.doc)

Tournament-only Guest Players
Players that are not carded on any team can play in a tournament by registering as a'”tournament-only guest player” at http://tournamentteam.osysalive.com. The button/link is located on the left column of that page. The parent registers the player and then should notify the OSYSA office that they would like to pick up the card.
