A single check should
be sent, along with the transmittal sheet,
showing number of players and coaches registered, as well as other necessary
information. Please do not send individual player checks as this can become
very confusing and expensive if they do not clear. If you have any questions

There can be additional fees due to
the league if you:
a. Use
US Cellular for practice or home games. The cost to you for each usage period
is $20.00. If you use Cellular for your
home games you will be responsible for paint expense as well (TBD). I will line
the fields each week at no charge to the league.
b. If
you have Bob Bratta schedule referees for your home games through the season.
This fee is $40.00 per team and is paid directly to him. A transmittal form
accompanies your payment. This form available at sign-up meeting or can be
downloaded below.
Registrations:
Due to
late entries for the past several seasons we have been forced to send out
abbreviated schedules and have had to make changes to the schedule after its
initial printing. Teams have had to be moved from one division to another,
forfeits issued, and many unhappy parents and coaches who cannot make the
necessary arrangements for the games until the last minute. As a result, a minimum of $500 must be
submitted on or before the registration due date as posted on the Important
Dates page. This will enter you into the league. A team may follow up with
the balance and their roster within a 10 day grace
period, but failure to comply with the registration due date could result in
your team being omitted from the league.
You may register your team by
downloading the registration MS Excel file below. (Note: please download the file, do not open
it in your browser window). Once this
file is completed, please send the completed file via email attachment to Alan
Devan at Registration@smmss.net
Remember to make sure that you include the t-shirt sizes of all players
and coaches registered, and that the quantities match the numbers sent on the
transmittal form. Managers do not
receive a T- shirt unless ordered and paid for separately. In addition, it is required that the
information requested on the team registration form for Coaches, Assistant
Coaches, Managers, and Players must be completed for your registration to be
accepted.
Background Screening:
Beginning
in 2018 all Coaches and Assistant Coaches will be required to register for a
background screening. This is being done to protect those working with minors
in a position of authority and to protect the players. SMMSS takes this very
seriously and has partnered with Sports Ngin Verify,
a SportsEngine FCRA-compliant company to handle all
background screenings. With Sport Ngin Verify, all of the information collected for screening
purposes is encrypted and sent securely to the screening provider. At that
point, they will be conducting your background check. All of your information
is held in the safest manner possible. No one within Sport Ngin,
or any other company has access to your background check. Sport Ngin collects applicant's authorization and disclosure for
background screening only.
It will be
necessary for ALL Coaches, Assistant Coaches to register for the
background screening using the link provided. Any person that will have
significant direct contact with players during practice and/or games must be
listed as a Coach or Assistant Coach. The background screening is good for one
year. If this is the first time you are registering as a coach or assistant
coach with SMMSS this year, you will need to create an account to begin the
process.

Necessary Forms:
The Waiver of Liability and
Medical Release, Code of Sportsmanship and Behavior, and Concussion
forms must be completed and signed before any player is authorized to practice
or play in this league. The registration
file MUST have indicated the execution of all required forms before it
will be accepted and processed. You can
download the forms below. The team
manager must keep the completed forms on hand at each game. Please see the Concussion Policy web page for
