WHAT ARE PLAYER ID CARDS FOR?

US Club Soccer/TCSL player ID cards are used for tournaments only. Your regular TCSL games use game sheets for each games.

WHO SHOULD CREATE THEM?

Player cards should be LAMINATED and then placed on a ring in alphabetical order. The Team Manager or Coaches should complete the player ID cards. 

HOW DO I CREATE THEM?

You can go the Team Manager TCSL Procedures page referenced under the TCSL Important Team Manager Links to the left on this page.

You should have, at a minimum 1 set, but it is highly encouraged to create 2 sets in the event you lose a set AND possibly have a player guest play with another team & their card doesn't get back to you in time. If you have 2 sets, keep one with you & 1 with the coach.

All team staff that have an ID card, should consider keeping 2 as well.

NOTE: Check the TCSL deadline to submit reschedules for Fall & Summer leagues!

TO GET A FIELD:

1. Managers from both teams should get 2 or 3 dates they wish to reschedule the games to. 

2. You should contact Josh Kopp jkopp@lakesunitedfc.org to check on field availability on those dates. Please use the following format:
