Definition of “Club”
A ‘club’ is defined as an organization providing soccer to youth players. This organization must either be a direct member of MSYSA or one that registers players with MSYSA through an affiliated member. At no time shall an affiliated member of MSYSA who functions as a “scheduling league” also be considered a “club.”
In the case where a club sets up one or more satellite clubs in the state, those satellite clubs may only be considered part of the main club for the purposes of the Boyne Bavarian Cup Tournament if the teams and players from the satellite club are registered with the main club and their registration software. The only exception to this rule is if all of the following criteria are met::
The main club and satellite club have the same Board of Directors
The main club and satellite club have the same Tax ID number
The main club and the satellite club are in the same MSYSA District as determined by the MSYSA Board of Directors
