PLAYERS ELIGIBILITY One of youth sports biggest complaints is players age eligibility. Coaches must meet these 3 requirements, players that are home schooled must present legal information to prove home schooling. BECAUSE OF ALTERED BIRTH CERTIFICATES coaches that fail to bring players reports cards or school documents showing the date of birth of players will risk disqualification of the player, this will take place at registration when all documents will be review, AND AT ANY PROTEST, TEAMS ARE ADVISED TO GET STATE ID S FOR PLAYERS ELIGIBILITY. All coaches must attend or have a representative attend coaches & registration meeting, this meeting will be held on the Friday night prior to the day of the event, or Saturday two hours prior to first game. Failure to meet these requirements may strongly result in the teams dismissal from the event. Past history has shown that these are the teams that present the most problems because of lack of knowledge involving the event, or lack of credentials involving players eligibility. This behavior is what USC Sports 24-7 is promising to eliminate from all our events, giving our teams the confidents in knowing that they are playing in the cleanest and most honest events in America.
