Registration Paperwork
The St. Johnsbury Academy
Invitational is a UPA sanctioned event. This means:
1) Every participating player must be a member of the UPA, or pay a one-time
event fee. For information on how to join the UPA, visit this page. Youth
membership costs $20 per year. The one-time event fee is $5.
2) All players must have a waiver
on file with the UPA.
3) Every adult officially involved with the team must have a chaperone
waiver
on file with the UPA. All teams are required to have at least one adult
chaperone, age 25 or older, with them at all times. It is strongly recommended
that each team bring at least two chaperones.
4) A medical
authorization form
needs to be completed for each player. Each coach needs to have these
forms on hand for the duration of the tournament. These forms will be
checked at the captain's meeting on Saturday morning. These forms are
an absolute requirement.
You MUST
bring them. DO NOT
send them to the UPA.
5) All teams MUST
submit their roster to the UPA by Friday,
April 20th. There are three ways to submit a roster:
a) Print out the
PDF
version of the roster, complete it manually and mail it to
the UPA.
b) Open the Excel
version of the roster, complete it electronically and email
it to the UPA.
c) Use the online
rostering system
to submit your roster online. Player's names and UPA ID#'s
are
required to do this. The SJA
Invite
is now ACTIVE in the UPA's online rostering system.
6) Every player that pays the one-time event fee instead of joining the
UPA must submit one-time
event & waiver form to the UPA.
Event materials (waivers, chaperone forms, one-time event forms,
rosters) should be sent to:
UPA, Attn: Sanctioning
4730 Table Mesa Drive, Ste J200
Boulder, Colorado 80305
Rosters can be emailed to: Melanie Byrd (Melanie at hq.upa.org)
A registration checklist can be printed off at this
page. The UPA's outline of the entire process can be found right
here. Note:
Even though the UPA allows for materials to be submitted to the UPA up
until 3 days before the event, I am
requiring all materials to be submitted by April 20th. Start this
process now.
I highly recommend using the online rostering system. It's
ridiculously easy to use and is super helpful if you're participating
in
multiple UPA sanctioned events during the year since it allows you to
duplicate rosters with one click. If you're not going to use
the
online rostering system, you MUST
submit your rosters directly to the UPA, NOT to me. Also, please keep
in mind that rosters need to be at the UPA by Friday, April 20th at the
absolute latest. On Tuesday, April 24th I am going to get a roster
master list from the UPA. Only
players on that master list will be allowed to play in the tournament.
This is a firm deadline,
so please, please, please get all of your paperwork in to the UPA as
soon as possible.
If you have any questions at all about the process, please don't
hesitate to call (802.748.9857) or email (jseamon at gmail dot com) me.
