Required Forms – EventConnect

NSC Sanctioned Tournaments are Youth Events – All waivers must be completed by the parent or legal guardian of each player (even if the player is 18+yrs). 

In order to complete a waiver, the parent or guardian must select the link provided by their team manager, fill in their child’s information, and agree to the waiver. This step is required in order for the player to be listed on the tournament roster. 

Need further assistance? Please contact the specific event Registrar.
