Update from KSYSA: 

All players 18 years and older will be required to complete the Safesport protocol under their individual accounts in the Got Sport system.  To be carded for any tournament and or league play for the 2022-23 upcoming season they will have to go to their account and look under the requirement tab for Safesport protocol.  Please make sure they allow for enough time to do this.  The process can take up to an hour.  
 
Most of these players are not registered yet for this season.  Team administration will need to send in registrations for the player to be registered.  Once that happens they will need to sign in to their account and do the protocol.  
 
 
CARDS AND ROSTERS CAN NOT BE COMPLETED WITHOUT THIS BEING DONE.
Please think ahead this will require some time.  You need to have your registrations submitted at least 3 weeks before you need your documents to assure that you will get them.
 
Please contact the registrar with any questions.
