MPSL REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

To register on a team in the MPSL for a given season you must do two things:

1. Register for the season and pay your League fee for the season using the LeagueApps website. There is a separate league fee for each season and this league fee must be paid before you start to play in that season. See the LeagueApps instructions below.

2. 2. Ensure that you have a current player pass from the California Soccer Association North for the current year and that specific team. Player passes are valid for a specific team from September 1st to the following August 31st. You purchase your player pass from the U.S. Sports Connect website (it used to be called Affinity, but that company was purchased by Stack Sports and renamed U.S. Sports Connect. See the instructions below:

LeagueApps
Go to: http://mpsl.leagueapps.com/leagues

• Scroll down and click on the green "Register" button.

• Then click on "Team Player" (unless you are the Team Captain)

• LeagueApps will ask you to log in. It will ask you for your first name, last name and email address. Use the same ones you used when you first created your LeagueApps account. If you have forgotten your password there will be a password recovery link on the next webpage.

• If you have never had a LeagueApps account, it will help you create one. Be sure to write down your password.

• Once you are logged in, there will be a drop-down menu that allows you to request to join a specific team. Then you will be able to get to your dashboard. However, your registration under this method may remain incomplete until the team captain approves it. Once the team captain approves, you will be able to pay your league fee. League fees must be paid before you play in your first game.

• If you already have an account in LeagueApps, it's possible that your team captain may send you a link that will take you straight to your payment screen. Contact him to find out if he will do this. If you get to the payment page by this method, be sure to update your mailing address and phone number.

U.S. Sports Connect (formerly Affinity Sports)
This is the website where you purchase your player pass for the year for a specific team. Player passes are mandatory for insurance reasons and must be presented to the referee before every game. Passes are valid through August 31st of each year. After than you must buy a new pass. The cost is $26 per year and includes a personal accident insurance policy with a maximum possible amount of $5,000 depending on the nature of the injury. Here are the instructions:

1. Go to: http://CalNorthAdult-MPSL.affinitysoccer.com

2. Click on the blue “Registration” button you see to the upper right of the screen.

3. Log into your Affinity/US Sports Connect account. If you have forgotten your password there is a “Forgot
    Password” link that may assist you in recovering or changing your password.

4. If you have never had an Affinity/US Soccer Connect account, you will have to create one. use the “Create an
    Account” button to create a new account. Follow the prompts and fill out the requested information. You will
    have to upload a color digital passport photo. Such photos must be taken on a neutral background showing
    your head and shoulders while you face forward not wearing hats or sunglasses. Do not upload a copy of your
    drivers license or passport. All you need is a recent selfie of your face and shoulders.

5. Select your team from the drop-down menu list of teams. (If the name of your team isn’t in the list, it’s because
    you team captain still has not submitted the annual team form to the CSAN office in San Francisco.

IMPORTANT ADVICE: if you log off, time out or your Internet connection breaks before you have completed the player pass purchase process, you have to log into your account again. And then you find yourself on your My Account page, not on the payment screen. From your My Account page, click on the “Applications” tab and then on “Create Order” – this will take you to the payment screens. (The online system uses the word “Application” as a synonym for “Registration:”.)

MORE IMPORTANT ADVICE: The player pass purchase process is more easily done on a laptop or desktop computer with Internet access. The player pass purchase process at one point uses a pop-up window to display information that the system thinks identifies you. If you have blocked pop-up windows or, due to lighting conditions and your device’s screen, you cannot see the navigation slider that is part of the pop-up window, you may be unable to proceed beyond this point. There is a continue button at the bottom of the pop-up window that must be pressed to take you to the next step in the process.
