Coaches & Parents,
NSA does NOT allow Metal Cleats for any age group of Youth Play.
This includes 8u-10u-12u-14u-16u-18u
IF you are choosing to purchase metal cleats for your daughter to
play in High School, I suggest you look into interchangeable cleats.

Thank you,
Kathie Horton

Parents, Players  and Coaches -
 I have received many questions regarding "Borrowing" of a player for a weekend.
            If you have ANY questions, please contact me.
  Violations are severe....  Suspension of both the Coach AND PLAYER!
  
 ROSTER ISSUES:
    1. Players cannot be BORROWED for a weekend tournament and return to their original NSA team!
                  EVEN IF THE TEAMS ARE IN THE SAME ORGANIZATION! 
    2.  Players cannot participate without being listed on the Official NSA Online Roster, printed out with signatures.
    3.  Players cannot be listed on TWO NSA rosters without a release form in my office & APPROVED - Stipulations apply.
    4.  Players participating that are not on the NSA official ONLINE roster are illegal/ineligible.
    5.  Players playing under an assumed name or "borrowing a jersey" for a weekend is illegal/ineligible.

Returning for 2008:  NSA SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN EVERY WEEKEND!
