ELIGIBILITY
Teams that are not USClubSoccer (www.usclubsoccer.org) members must provide travel papers from their State Association. Some states do not provide accident insurance along with their travel papers, please check with your State Association on this issue as you may have to purchase this from US Club Soccer if they do not provide it. This does not apply to US Club Soccer Members. All players must have a current player pass or equivalent national association and medical release. Unlimited loan players will be permitted to a roster of eighteen (18). Members of USClubSoccer do not have to obtain travel papers. If your team is a travelling tream and requires a hotel, we require that you stay at one of the Nomads Partner Hotels - see our hotel list.
