WFC Rangers and other clubs within the state use US Club for travel, primarily out of state.  Most tournaments our teams enter are sanctioned by US Club so WSYSA out of state travel papers are not required.  When checking in US Club player cards, US Club roster, and US Club Medical/Registration form are all that is needed.  An important thing to note is that when using US Club soccer cards for a tournament at check-in you are no longer sanctioned by WSYSA.  Why is this important to know?  If a player on your team is injured you cannot file accident reports with WSYSA and if there is a complaint against a team/player you cannot file with WSYSA.  Instead you would use

US Club to submit claims and file grievances. 

US Club Soccer was founded in the year 2000 by a group of coaching directors from different geographical areas.  By 2001 it had grown to over 140 members in 35 states.  By the end of 2001 there were over 250 and by the beginning of 2009 US Club has grown to over 2,300 members in 49 states.  It is a non-profit organization committed to the development of competitive soccer clubs.  US Club Soccer is a National Affiliate member of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and as such, register players and sanctions teams, leagues, tournaments and other soccer programs.  Players and staff pay an annual registration.  In addition staff must take an on-line risk management questionnaire.  Staff cards are good for two years while player cards must be renewed every year.
