Forms

- Required from any new or existing organization wishing to affiliate with Soccer Maine for the purposes of registering players or teams to play youth soccer in Maine.

Once approved at the ED level, it is then presented to the Soccer Maine Board of Directors for final approval. The documentation must be submitted a minimum of two months prior to any deadlines for team submission so that Soccer Maine’s Board of Directors have time to meet and discuss approval of any new club.

Receiving club must initiate this waiver form. Only the 3 conditions listed on the form are allowed – there will be no exceptions.
