Q. How do I register a team?
A. The following steps help us determine what division and location for your team:
- New teams email us with the area you'd like for a home field and your name and cell number.
- New teams also provide us with their caliber of play and winter league team information if any.
- Returning teams complete and submit a Team Affiliation form online.
- We will send you the e-transfer information for you to pay the team registration and new team bond.
- When the payment is received your team will be registered for the season in the KSL.
- Player Registration login information will be sent to the manager.
- The field cost will be determined and sent to the manager for e-transfer payment.
Q: How do teams register players?
A: When the team registration is paid you will receive the username and password login for the Player Registration webpage that you can forward to your players. Let them know to be careful registering - on many smart phones the bottom of the registration page with the box to check that the liability waiver has been read and agreed to is often cropped-off, and although the player thinks he has registered it is not completed. Players will tell you they registered but their names will not be on the team roster.
Use the same login you used to access the Player Registration webpage - instead of using the Registration drop-down menu, click on Team Lists and then use the drop-down menu to find your team and see who has registered. You can also see the Printable Game Day List on the top right - use that to print two copies of the roster on game day to give to the referee prior to the pre-game player photo ID check. Every player must produce photo ID if asked by the referee; fall / winter ID is acceptable as is any laminated government ID. At this time you will also give the referee his $50 match fee.
Q. When does the league start?
A. Games are played through the spring and summer months. Most divisions start the second week of April; the Premier division usually starts later in April..
Q. How do I find a team to play for?
A. You can submit a player resume to admin@knightsoccerleague.org that we will post on http://www.knightsoccerleague.org/classifieds.htm - managers look here for new players. Make sure the information you submit is accurate and complete so people can contact you!
Q. How do I register as a player?

- if you did NOT play in the winter, or your winter team wasn't BC Soccer Affiliated, you will need to pay a $37 provincial registration fee. The league will collect this fee from you - the best way is to send an eTransfer to the league.

- You MUST be registered before you can play. If your name is not on the printed team roster, YOU CANNOT PLAY.
Q. Do we need league issued I. D. cards with photos?
A. No, you can use winter league photo I. D. or any government issued photo I. D. These MUST be brought to each game and shown to the referee before you can play; no pictures of ID on cell phones will be accepted.
Q. Do the divisional winners receive a trophy or money?
A. The winners of the Championship Final in each division will receive a registration credit to cover the team registration for the next season and the runners-up will receive a 50% registration credit for the next season.
