INDIVIDUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION & TEAM PERSONNEL REGISTRATION

Any person on the bench must be registered as either a player or Team Personnel and must be at least 15 years old.

Team Personnel registration is only required if you are not a player on the team with which you sit on the bench.

Individual Player Registration and Team Personnel Registration will open after Final Alignment when divisions have been set and teams have been accepted/placed in their final division. The team contacts will receive more information to forward to their players once we have placed the teams into a division. View the Outdoor Dates & Deadlines for opening/closing dates this season.

All participants will be required to register themselves online and must pay their Individual Player Registration or Team Personnel fee before they will appear on a roster.

Individual Player Registration fee is $45 per season. (This is over and above fees players pay as team fees to the Team Contact/Manager.)

Team Personnel fee is $11.10 per season.

Payment can be made at the time of registering via credit card through RAMP or you can pay at the office - CASH ONLY.

Please go to the Individual Player Registration page for full details.

RESCHEDULE PROCESS

Teams will only be allowed to submit ONE Reschedule Request per season. The fee is determined by the submission date in respect to the game date.

Teams are also allowed and encouraged to identify two scheduling conflicts on their team registration form which may be considered when the schedule is created. Please enter them in order of importance. We cannot guarantee we will be able to avoid the date(s).

See Forms - Reschedule Request Form for details.

 
GAME SHEETS

BOTH teams must print game sheets for games on GRASS fields.

SAS will print game sheets for the turf games and they can be picked up at admissions.

Game sheets will be pre-populated with players that have already been added to the roster. Please update the game sheet manually by writing in player names and current jersey numbers if additional players have registered since the game sheet was printed. Games will be overturned, and teams will be fined if they play ineligible/unregistered players.

Permit Players will also need to be manually added to the game sheet; please mark permit players with a “PP", "YP" or "GP" or penalties will apply. See below for more information.

NEW!! Injured players who are registered but not playing may remain on the bench and “TP” (Team Personnel) must be marked beside their name. (They will not need to register as Team Personnel unless they are not a player.)

SCHEDULED NIGHTS OF PLAY

The division names return to the prior style without specification of Competitive or Recreational.

SAS cannot confirm what nights each division will be playing on until the schedule is finalized. Often, we are able to keep divisions on the same nights that they played on in past seasons, but it is NOT a guarantee.

Sunday and Monday are secondary back-up night for all leagues.

THE NIGHTS OF PLAY ARE ALL TENTATIVE. This is our first season hosting full AND half field and so we cannot know what to expect.

WE ARE AIMING for the below scheduled nights but it is not guaranteed.

The day of the week in bold is the tentative primary night of play in the below breakdown for this upcoming season:

ID CARDS / PHOTO ID

A Player ID Card or Government issued photo identification (ID) is required at every game to play, and the card name must match the registration name. Photo I.D. Cards need to be shown to the referee before every game. You will not be allowed to play without a player ID card or Canadian Government issued photo I.D.

Driver’s License with a hole punch is permitted.

Player ID Cards no longer expire, and new cards will not have an expiration date on them. The expiration dates on older cards will simply be ignored. It is, however, each player’s responsibility to update their card if it is worn out or if the picture no longer resembles them.

AGE MINIMUM

You must be at least fifteen (15) years of age before you can participate or be on the bench in any SAS sanctioned games.
 

COMMUNICATION

You must provide accurate email addresses for team contacts. If you have not received any emails from our office by the time Final Alignment is released, then you need to contact SAS to make sure that the correct email address is being used or that it is not going to your junk mail.

EMAIL - RAMP ACCOUNTS

Your RAMP account is tied to your email address. You register in RAMP with your email address and your history is stored within your account. The same email address must be used for every registration in each season, so you won’t be charged more than once. Again, it’s tied to your address.

You can obtain receipts and verify your registration through your RAMP account.

If you don’t remember your password, please click Forgot My Password. We do not have this information.

PERMIT PLAYERS

SAS does not have a “pick-up” or “sub” players. For a player to be eligible to play on your team they must either be registered to your team, or be registered on a team within your league. Also, there are rules as to where players can permit. Ex: Division 1 cannot permit to Division 2 or lower. Permitting is allowed up divisions or within the same division under special circumstances.

Please refer to the Rules and Regulations to see what leagues your team can permit to/from as well as additional information on Youth Permits and Goalkeeper Permits. All Permit Players need to be manually added to the game sheet. Please mark permit players with a “PP", "YP" or "GP" or penalties will be applied.

Full details can be found in our Rules & Regulations - Permit Players.

Players can view their permit count on the Outdoor - Outdoor Permits. It is also the player’s responsibility to keep track of their permit numbers.

CITY FIELD NETS

Please be aware that ALL nets on city grass fields need to be put up and taken down, AND flags need to be put up and put away. Please lock the equipment box as well.

Those fields include:

• Newsham 3 & 4

• Umea 4 & 5

• Forest Park 4, 5

• Umea 6 (South)

• Lakewood

EQUIPMENT BOX KEYS

Teams are required to pick up at least one key for the outdoor session and return it at the end of the season.

Games will be forfeit in the absence of a key being picked up by the team by the specified date. Games will resume upon the key being picked up.

A deposit is required when the key is picked up. Deposits can be given by way of cash or cheques payable to Saskatoon Adult Soccer posted for September 1 of this year.

The deposit for the key will be deposited if not returned at the end of the season.

Each key requires a $50 deposit. Teams may pick up 1 or 2 keys.
