USA Registration is required every year and needs to be renewed on or after September 1, 2020.

Annual registration runs September 1 to August 31.

It is highly recommended that you register while using this step-by step video tutorial.

Important:  If your player needs to additionally register as a referee, you must follow this video in order to pay double fees.  This type of registration is known as a Multi-role registration.
Total fee paid should be:  Player fee + additional minimal fee for referee).  I think it is an extra $10.
