[LINK] LIWSA Rule 3-10 - Youth to Senior Permits

Do you know how many youth to senior permits are processed each week?

There are 20+ online permits submitted and processed each week since September 2nd.

Did you know that it may take up to 7 days of processing prior to a youth player being confirmed into the youth pool?

That is right! Up to 7 days, this is place in order to verify the submitted information is accurate and $50 youth pool player admin fee has been received.

How long does the approval process of a youth to senior permit take?

While the permit system is now online, it does not mean that it is processed immediately. League staff from both Youth and Adult leagues have a multitude of operational tasks on a daily basis.

A permit must be approved in the following order:

Youth club/team
Youth League
Adult League

It states that a youth to senior permit must be submitted with a minimum 24hrs to my game, however my game is on Sunday. Will the league approvers be processing the permits on Friday evenings or Saturdays?

There is no guarantee that league approvers will be able to process permits past 4:00 pm on Fridays. Leagues have asked members to submit permit requests between Monday afternoon and Thursday afternoon - in order to have permits processed.

How can I find out the status of the youth to senior permit I submitted?

You can contact the Youth Team Coach or Youth League Admin to inquire. Contacting the LIWSA Admin should only be an option once you know if Youth Team Coach and Youth League Admin have processed the permit. Please avoid unnecessary emails to the league administrator.

October 14, 2025

To ensure all members (Team Officials & Players) understand the expectations of the League in relation to photo uploads for LIWSA ID cards, an email was sent to all team officials and players as a final reminder.

We are entering into week seven (7) of the season, with many photo uploads not meeting the basic requirements as outlined on the league website and team officials guide/manual - and in the multiple email communications sent out to team officials pre-season.

The October 14 final reminder email communication clearly outlined that the reminder may not apply to everyone, however suggested for all to review their profiles to ensure that there photo had not been deleted due to lack of meeting basic requirements.

For clarification:

Action required if your profile's photo was removed/deleted in the recent audit. New photo upload required meeting basic requirements.
No action required if your profile still has uploaded photo from time of registration.

LIWSA ID cards have been in effect since first weekend of games (Sept 5). While majority have been following requirements as outlined on the website, team official operation guide and in multiple league communications - there are many team officials and players not abiding by the requirements.

To facilitate understanding the league expectations on having proper uploaded photos for generating ID cards, please visit the following webpage:

It is the responsibility of Team Officials and/or Players to ensure the appropriate photos are uploaded meeting at the very least the basic requirements. Any photos noticed at any time by the league will be deleted without notice.

Please check your team's Team Officials and Player ID Cards prior to your game to avoid ineligibility to be in technical area or play.
