You may want to bookmark this page as we may add additional information as questions from the teams are submitted.   

Please note that we do not offer refunds to teams that withdraw after they have been accepted.  If you wish to protest, please email info@nomadssoccer.org and we will submit your request to the Nomads Board of Directors.

Fields are not booked until October. We start the game schedule generation mid October and finalize by early November.  We aim to release the schedule at least 20 days prior, with everything going as planned.  Note: games are subject to change and movement up to and including the night before kick-off (we don't like to make changes but if a field is closed on us due to weather or other issues beyond our control sometimes happens). 

Each player and coach must have a laminated card from a US Soccer affiliate; USYSA State Association / US Club Soccer, or other US Soccer organization.

NOTE: We permit unlimited guest players, however, they must possess a card from the same Association; for example, if you are from California and you loan a player from Hawaii, they must both have USYSA cards. You cannot mix association's cards.  One solution would be if you are borrowing a US Clubs player,  please make sure you check with your registrar at your Club to figure out what to do.

Please ask  parents and players not to call the Tournament Director's of the Nomads, only the designated contact from your team should communicate any questions or concerns.  Perhaps have regular meetings where you collect any questions that may arise and then send one email to the team. That is if the question isn't answered by looking through the information on this page.  Thank you for your support!

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TRAVEL PLANS ARE BOOKED APPROPRIATELY.

Friday:  Two (2) games.  One (1) between 8 am and Noon.  One (1) game between Noon and 10 pm

Saturday: One (1) game between 8 am and Noon.  Quarter Finals and some Semi Finals will be played between 2 pm and 10 pm. If the division is 4-6 teams, if the schedule permits we may hold a final in the evening.

Sunday:  Semi-Finals 8am - 12pm and Finals are played at 10 am, 12 pm or 2 pm.

The latest possible game will end (if overtime occurs) no later than 5 pm.  You may want to take this in to consideration if you are flying out.

Our Stay to Play policy 

You are required to make your team travel arrangements through our travel partner Traveling Teams.

Note:  All our partner hotels have specially negotiated rates.  Traveling Teams will help you find the hotel that best suits to your needs keeping in mind the proximity to all our field locations.  

Make sure the Coach and players know that we do not allow any type of casts to be worn during play, this includes soft casts and braces that contain hard materials.

Login to your team account and load your roster, each player must have a unique jersey number. 

Rosters must be completed and game cards printed to bring to team check in no later than two days before team check in.

Roster Size:

18 players per game for 11  v 11  and 9 v 9

14 players per game for 7 v 7

You will be limited on your roster overall by the maximum allowed by the association that issued you your cards; I believe US Clubs is 26 and Calsouth (USYSA) is 22 depending on the age of the players.

We absolutely cannot accommodate a coach who is attempting to:

1. Coach a team at the Surf Cup (which is 45 minutes to an hour drive with traffic from the fields that we use).
2. Three (3) or more teams.  We can accommodate schedules for two (2) teams.

The Coach's name must be spelled exactly the same way in both team applications for the software to do its magic; for example, both apps must say Michael if that's the coach's name and not Mike.

The Nomads do not maintain an RSVP for college coaches and do not guarantee that coaches will be on the sideline.  

It is the players that drive the college coaches to our event.  If enough players contact the College Coach then it will be worth his or her while to make the trip.  They never just show up not having a plan of which players they are going to watch, so you must advise your players to write and start a dialogue with coaches as soon as they know their team has been accepted to play.

In October we will start gathering information of which colleges are recruiting, what their minimum GPA is, what their academic focus is, which positions they are recruiting and what if any scholarship assistance they provide, this should aid in the player's writing campaign.

We have sent a survey to college coaches. If the players forward this to the college coaches they are interested in we will add their information when they respond.  LINK
