State Pass (Formerly At-Large) Players

A Missouri State Pass is an option for any individual player that wishes to register with MYSA without belonging to any specific MYSA member club/organization. State Pass players may guest play with any team that invites them to participate. The state office issues you your player card and effectively becomes your registrar. You will need to go through the state office for any guest player forms to be processed. 

• You cannot be on a “club team” and be a state pass player, it is one or the other.
• A State Pass Player cannot participate in a State Cup or Presidents Cup as a guest player.
• This registration is ONLY FOR THOSE PLAYERS STAYING INSIDE THE STATE OF MISSOURI TO PLAY SOCCER.
• If you are a Missouri Resident wanting to register for a team from another state, please see the Out-of-State Player Registration tab.
  • IF YOU ARE A NON-MISSOURI RESIDENT, YOU MUST FIRST GO THROUGH YOUR HOME STATE ASSOCIATION FOR A RELEASE BEFORE YOU CAN REGISTER FOR A MISSOURI PLAYER PASS

SEE BELOW FOR A TRAPPED PLAYER STATUS (generally an 8th grader or HS Senior whose teammates have moved on to HS or College respectively).
 

FEES

The State Pass (At-Large)  total cost is $50 / player.

• The STATE PASS card will be mailed to you within 5 – 7 days, if you want the card within 48 hours of submitting the request (weekend days do not count in the 48-hour calculation) there is an additional $50.00 service fee for expedited service.
• If you wish to have your card overnight mail, there is an additional $20.00 postage fee, if you lose your card there is a $10.00 reprint fee.
   

“TRAPPED PLAYER” REGISTRATION

If you are considered a “trapped player” (in 8th grade or senior year of HS) and the remainder of your school grade has moved on to freshmen year or college. Missouri Youth Soccer considers you a “trapped player” meaning you do not have a team to register with the entire season. You may register through this link, the state office will issue you your player card, you will guest play with your team for league/tournaments and then you may transfer to a team when your registration becomes available.

Before you sign up for this player card be sure the above paragraph applies to you, if we start the process and find that you are not eligible we will email you and apply your registration to the “state pass” instead and additional fees will be added. The fee for a trapped player is $24.00  ($19 MYSA Registration Fee + $5 Player Card Fee).

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER  and select the Trapped Player team for the Birth Year of your player.

TRANSFER WINDOW CLOSES IN:

CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE THE PLAYER TRANSFER FORM

This form is for registered players who wish to change their primary club/organization during the current season.
The $400 fee serves as an automatic release from a club during the open transfer window (see below).

PLAYER TRANSFER

Once registered, a player is tied to their club for a seasonal year. It is possible to transfer from one club to another with approval from the departing club and within the restrictions noted below & in the MYSA Registration Policies. The full policy may be found HERE

It should be noted that a transfer, either with approval or without, does not absolve a player/parent from any financial arrangements within a “Player’s Agreement” or other signed legal documents between the player and their current club.

d. PLAYER TRANSFER AND RELEASE

Player Transfer Policy: Once the player or the player’s representative executes the registration form and pays the appropriate fees, that player is bound to the member organization for the duration of the seasonal year. The seasonal year for Missouri Youth Soccer runs August 1 through the opening date of tryouts or, for those teams which are advancing, the conclusion or elimination of the team in any remaining USYS National Competitions. This policy is specifically for the rostering of competitive players that wish to move organizations and has no bearing on recreational participants who can move freely within organizations.

Some latitude does exist for the movement of a player within a seasonal year as follows:

A player may be granted a no-cost transfer at any time during a seasonal year from one club to another provided there is approval from both the sending and receiving teams/clubs. A Director from the sending club must provide written notification directly to Mo Youth Soccer granting permission for the transfer to occur (email is acceptable). A club is not required to grant a release and may require payment of fees to grant a release per their player agreement.

If needed, players have opportunity to transfer during the soccer season without approval via the process below:

Between December 1st and January 15th of the seasonal year, a player may request, and be granted, a transfer from one team/club to another team/club once the following provisions are met:

1) There will be a $400 transfer fee charged. $100 of the fee will remain with the Missouri Youth Soccer Association for administrative purposes and $300 to the team losing the player for administrative purposes. This fee is paid as part of the transfer request process and must be completed, you should anticipate a 3-7 day delay between the request and the transfer to occur.

Only in an extreme situation would a transfer without a fee or club permission be considered, in these rare instances a written statement fully documenting the reason for the occurrence should be directed via e-mail to the District Commissioner for your area. District Contacts are available HERE. Lack of playing time & team placement are not reasons for exception and these matters should be discussed directly with your club’s Directors.

Update to Permission to Participate Policy
Effective August 1st, 2017 it is no longer required to obtain a “Permission to Participate” form to attend an event outside of your club team. All recruiting rules still apply and have been recently updated. You cannot be offered a roster position during a seasonal year.

TRAVEL PERMITS & NON-USYS EVENTS BOTH IN-STATE AND OUT:

Missouri honors all Applications to Host from other State Associations but may not, at its own discretion, extend insurance coverage or pass card usage to non-USYS sanctioned events both outside the State of Missouri as well as inside the state borders. You should contact the MYSA office should you intend to participate in a non-MYSA  sanctioned tournament within the state to find out if your coverage is in effect prior to applying to those events.

Any Missouri-registered team that is traveling outside the state of Missouri for a tournament, league play, or friendly, is required to get a travel permit. Any team that is playing or participating in any event that is sanctioned by any other state, and happen to be playing in Missouri you will need a travel permit. (for example, you may be playing at Swope Park in Kansas City but the event you are playing in has been sanctioned by Kansas and not Missouri – you will need a travel permit)

If a team is participating in an out-of-state event and does not request (and receive) a travel permit, your team will not be covered under the MYSA insurance policies. Therefore, the players will not be covered under our accident policy in case of injury for that event.

THE TOURNAMENT CENTER:

Travel permits are now exclusively done through The Tournament Center.
