Dear Coaches/Managers,

As we enter the second month of the 2024-2025 LIWSA season, we would like to remind team officials of the following (as outlined in the Team Official Manual):   

TEAM OFFICIAL PROFILE REQUIREMENTS
If any team official profile is missing any of the following requirements, that individual will be removed from the team roster without notification starting this week.  The deadline of September 30 has now come and gone.

  • Photo upload for LIWSA digital ID card
  • Code of Conduct signed
  • Valid CRC results
  • Coaching Requirements (only for head coach)
  • (Link to information on BCSA Requirements:  https://liwsa.com/coachreq) 

Please check the Team Official Manual posted online, for further details on what steps to take and who to contact regarding items listed above.  Please do not guess who to email, take a moment to review the manual and direct your email to the appropriate league staff – you can always connect with your liaison for assistance. 

How can I check my team official profile?

GAME SCHEDULES

  1. When games are listed either as tentative and/or crossed out, this means that that schedule (day, time, field) has not been confirmed by the Home Team. You may want to contact your opposition or if you are the home team, your field scheduler - with a cc to your divisional liaison. 
        
  2. Request to Reschedule:  Please visit the following webpage:  https://www.liwsa.com/Reschedule#181 

Reminder to all that the rescheduling form must be filled out completely, following the steps as posted on the webpage - no exceptions.    




PLAYER PERMITS (Intra-club & Youth to Adult)
Intra-club permits –please do not leave it to the last minute, while it is easy to complete, sometimes technology may not want to behave, and we are not open 24/7. 

Youth to Adult permits (online) – A Youth player must first be set up and registered in the online Youth Pool with their own player profile which must be completed by their parent/guardian – and profile must be reviewed prior to player being eligible to be permitted up. Any LIWSA member listed as a Team Official on their team roster missing any of their requirements, such as, a CRC, a youth permit will not be allowed.  

Online Youth to Adult Player Permits must be submitted with a minimum of 24 hrs, as there is a chronological review/approval process in place. Once the requesting coach submits the online permit, the following must happen in sequence:

  • Releasing Youth Coach – review/approve/decline
  • Releasing Youth Association – review/approve/decline
  • Accepting Adult Association – review/approve/decline Requesting coach can check status of the permit online.

Please do not contact the LIWSA admin to inquire or request to process approval if approval from releasing coach and/or releasing youth association is still pending. It is important to note that while there is a minimum 24 hrs timeline for such permits, all associations have different hours of business. Submissions received Friday after 12:00 pm have no guarantee in being processed and approved in time for the game in question. Submit online permits with sufficient time for processing.

Best of luck to all teams in October.
