Everything you need to get your child cleared to play — what to gather, what we file on your behalf, and how long each stage takes. Most families finish the form in about ten minutes.
This is the part families most often get confused about, so it's worth stating plainly: parents do not sign up with NISL directly. The league registers players through a system called GotSport, and only club administrators can submit into it. Your job is to complete our form and hand us the right documents. We do the rest.
Complete our registration form, upload your player's proof of age and photo, sign the club waivers, and choose a payment plan. About ten minutes.
Our administrator enters your player into GotSport, uploads the documents you gave us, and requests the league player ID card. You'll get an email once your player is approved.
Have these ready before you open the form. The single biggest reason parents abandon registration halfway is going hunting for a birth certificate or an insurance card mid-form.
NISL accepts a birth certificate, a state ID, or a passport. A clear photo or scan is fine, as long as the player's full name and date of birth are readable. This is used to confirm your child is playing in the correct age group.
Head and shoulders, facing the camera, plain background — like a passport photo. This goes on your child's official NISL player ID card, so it needs to actually look like them this season. A phone photo against a wall works perfectly well.
Your health insurance provider and policy number, your child's doctor, and any allergies, medications or conditions our coaches must know about. Plus two emergency contacts who are not you, in case we can't reach you on a match day.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and ACH bank transfer. Payment plans are available on every program and you choose yours inside the form — you do not need to pay the full season fee today.
NISL states that submitting a forged proof of age can result in the expulsion of the player, the team, or the entire club from the league. Please send us the real document. If you genuinely cannot obtain your child's birth certificate, talk to us before you register — a passport or state ID is equally acceptable, and there are almost always options.
Some of these are league requirements and some are ours. The right-hand column tells you which is which.

Five stages. You're responsible for the first three; we handle the last two.
Player and parent details, emergency contacts, medical information, and your team or age group. Available in English, Spanish and Polish — pick your language at the top of the form.
Attach them inside the form. If the upload gives you trouble, send us a message and we'll help you get them in.
Waiver, concussion acknowledgement, codes of conduct and media release are all signed electronically in the form. Then pick the payment plan that suits you and enter your payment details.
Our administrator enters your player into GotSport, uploads the proof of age and photo, and submits them to the league for approval. If anything is unclear or unreadable, we'll contact you before the deadline rather than after it.
Once NISL approves the registration, your player appears on the official team roster and is eligible for league matches. Coaches carry a printed Game Card to every match, which acts as the team's player passes — so you don't need to bring anything to the sideline yourself.
Have your four items to hand and you'll be done in about ten minutes. Stuck at any point? Message us — we'd rather help than lose your player to a form.
No parent should lose a season to paperwork. If anything on this page is unclear, contact us in whichever language is easiest.
