United Rec Cup-Fall

For the United Rec Cup no team check in is required. 

Rosters will be locked Thursday prior to the Tournament. Game Day Roster Sheet and Player & Coach Passes can be downloaded on Friday.

On the day of the tournament each team will go straight to field for their game. Teams will need to bring the following with them for each game:

• Your Game Day Roster sheet for the game being played.
• Your US Youth Soccer player and coach passes.

Each pass must have the player or Coach picture and should say recreational. Before each game, the referee(s) will check your team in with your player/coach passes and your Game Day Roster.
All participating players must be listed on the Game Day Roster sheet.

A liability waiver form is required to be completed. The Team official keeps a copy of this document. Fin the form here (LINK)
 

Roster freeze date is a set date prior to the tournament that the team roster is frozen. Meaning no additions, deletion or changes can occur. All teams should have active the players participating in the Tournament as well as any guest players (max. of 4 allowed).

The day after roster freeze allows the game day roster cards can be printed accurately listing both teams players (Friday). This eliminates inaccuracies for the referee during check in. 

The roster freeze date is Thursday at midnight prior to the Tournament. 

Each player that will be participating for your team during the Georgia Soccer United Rec Cup must be on your Game Day Roster before roster freeze date (Thursday before the tournament).
