Tournaments

Travel permits and guest player registrations will now be submitted through their respective programs in PlayMetrics. Filling out these forms is similar to registering for leagues and tournaments under the programs tab. The requested information is the same as that previously required in the HTG Tournament Center. At the end of the process, you will be taken to a checkout screen (similar to league or tournament registration). These programs are free, so no charges will be applied.

Application

Wisconsin Youth Soccer now uses PlayMetrics for tournament sanctioning applications. Only Club Admins have access to the Tournament Applications Program. Using your Club Admin account, go to the “Programs” tab and click on “Tournament Sanctioning”. Applications will then be submitted and approved by WYSA.

WYSA’s insurance policy does not provide coverage for your team when participating in the tournament or games not sanctioned by US Youth Soccer. Please make sure that you inform the players on the team and their parents that the tournament or game(s) have not been approved by US Youth Soccer or WYSA; the rules of another organization will govern the competition; US Youth Soccer and the State Association do not have any control or supervision over the tournament or games or its participants; and certain benefits of WYSA and US Youth Soccer will not be available to you.
