FAQs of the Alabama State Games

Snap Soccer does not allow mixed association guest players based on standards from major youth soccer sanctioning bodies.  

 

This means that US Club Soccer teams may only take guest players registered under US Club Soccer, and USYS teams may only take guest players registered with properly stamped USYS player pass cards. 

 

Mixed rosters with player passes from different organizations will not be accepted at any Snap Soccer event. 

 

All guest players are expected to have a proper loan form even if it is not requested by event staff. Please see below. 

 

Resources 

  • US Club Guest Player Loan Form 
  • USYS Guest Player Form – please contact your state association (ASA, LSA, FYSA, etc.) 

 

Always refer to the Event Rules to review Guest Player requirements or limitations.
