Player and Coach Cards are issued via Mid New Jersey Youth Soccer Association (MNJYSA).  The Club pays all card fees to MNJYSA.   Player cards are issued to the club and are held by the Team Manager (for Travel teams) or the Director of Coaching (for Pre-Travel players).  This ensures that all cards arrive at the field for Travel games or Pre-Travel inter-club scrimmages.

It may seem like an extra hassle to have to register your child twice (once to MTSC and once to MNJYSA).  But once this initial hassle is done, life becomes much easier for us and for you.  The key benefits of carding are:

-- A consistent proof of age for all players that is recognized by all clubs, coaches, and referees.
-- Ensures that your child is playing only with appropriately aged players from the other club.
-- An online system so that we at the Club don't have to deal with paper forms, and you don't need to send us paper documents.
-- A consistent liability waiver that you can approve online (again, saves on paper forms).
-- Ability for us to manage team rosters online, and automatically generate game day rosters for referees and coaches to use.
-- Insurance at favorable rates for the Club
