How to Submit a Youth to Adult Permit

Once a Youth Player has successfully signed up for the Youth Pool, then you can call up the Youth Player.

The initial sign up of youth player to the Youth Pool may take up to 7 days – and must include the payment of $50 as outlined on the website before they are eligible to be called up.

If a youth player has initially signed up 1-3 days prior to a scheduled game, there is no guarantee they will be processed in time and eligible to play in the game in question – do not email league staff to check on status.

Youth-to-Adult Permit Submission Information

All permits follow an established approval chain: Youth Coach → Youth League → LIWSA. Once fully approved, the permitted player will appear on the game day roster with a player ID card.

Important

Do not email, text, or call League staff or colleagues to rush a permit. Staff are not responsible for last-minute or late submissions.
Permits submitted after office hours will not be reviewed until the next business day.
Teams are fully responsible for submitting permits on time. Late or incomplete submissions may result in the player being ineligible.

Permit Submission Timeline

To ensure proper processing, all teams must follow these timelines:

Earliest Submission: Monday afternoon of the game week.
Latest Submission: Friday at 12:00 PM (noon).
Friday Evening Games: Must be submitted a minimum of 24 hours prior to kickoff (per BCSA rules).
Saturday & Sunday Games: Must be submitted by Friday at 12:00 PM, regardless of the 24-hour minimum, as league offices are closed on weekends. Only genuine emergencies will be considered outside this timeline.
No Weekend Submissions: Permits should not be submitted the weekend(s) prior to a scheduled game.

While the system allows to initiate a player permit in advance – League staff will not review/process until the week of the upcoming scheduled game in question.

Failure to follow these requirements is the team’s responsibility and may result in players being ineligible to participate. League staff and colleagues will not be pressured to process late or last-minute permits.
