they are in their last semester before graduating, i.e., a student only needs to
be registered in one class if said student is in their last semester before graduating.
*Each Collegiate Women's All Star Team is allowed 3
Under 23 Women's Players, i.e., Women that are Under 23,
but not in school!
Each player will need to present the following
items at check-in:
-
Player
Participant Waiver and Release Form
(the Form MUST be filled out by each player before check-in)
Photo ID (drivers license, passport, etcetera)
CIPP card (or copy of USA Rugby CIPP page for your
Team with name[s] highlighted)
Proof of Health Insurance (if the players name is
not on, for example, the insurance card, generally where the person is covered
under a parent's or spouse's policy, you need not only the proof of the policy,
but also that the individual player is in fact covered under the policy).
Proof of citizenship, resident alien, or resident
player status (if applicable, i.e. copy of
birth certificate, passport, green card, or resident player documentation). See
the
USA Rugby web site for more information.
A recommendation:
If you haven't already done so,
as the Head Coach or the Manager, put together a binder containing a
single sheet for each player, and on that one sheet have a copy of the players
photo ID, CIPP card, proof of health insurance, and proof of
citizenship/resident player status. Put them in the binder in alphabetical
order. This will make things much easier at check in for the
Midwest Tournament as well as for Nationals. Plus, it is a useful resource
(quick access to a players health insurance info if necessary, for example).
For check in, each Team is to give their binder
(if they have one) to the person checking in players and to line up their
players in alphabetical order by last name. Each player should have with them
the 4 items mentioned above in case the photocopies are not legible. Each
player will be checked-in in order, and the
whole process should not take very long at all (5-10 minutes) if we do it in an
organized fashion.
If you have any questions please contact . . .
Tom Rooney, Midwest VP of Collegiate and
Youth, and/or
Roger Riley, Collegiate Women's
Coordinator
