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 please call David Melendy
at 865-771-3038. Click on the link at
the bottom to download the Transmittal
Sheet.
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 $25.00. 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 (Updated
Feb 2019):
Beginning
in 2019 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 Knox County to handle all background
screenings. Knox County requires all coaches that utilizes Knox County
facilities to complete their background check. SMMSS and its team utilize
several Knox County parks. The background check is $18.50 paid online during
the background check application and is good for two years. Anyone that has
completed a Knox County background check for any other sport within the past
two years would not need another one for SMMSS. Since all of
the background checks go through Knox County, I MUST receive a list of your
coaches by the date listed under Important Dates. This is not optional, and you
will not be permitted on the practice field or games if we do not have your
name to verify the background check.
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 two
years. All coaches must complete our background check through SSCI which is
located on our website knoxcounty.org/parks then click on the link Looking for Sports
information and you will see the background check link.

Medical Release, Code of Sportsmanship and Behavior, and Concussion
