E-Travel System

An E-Travel application must be completed by all teams attending an out of state event or a non-USYS sanctioned event.
Continue an application:

You will need to complete a Notification to Travel form anytime your team intends to play outside the state of North Carolina in a USYS sanctioned event. This includes tournaments, scrimmages, friendlies, or league play in another state.


Please read these instructions before beginning the process!

This form is NOT to be used if the tournament  is NOT a USYS sanctioned tournament.  It is the responsibilty of the person completing NTT to confirm whether the tournament is USYS sanctioned!  If the incorrect form is completed, a new NTT must be completed and there is NO refund for incorrect notification.

Please be sure to have the hosting club's information available before filling out the Notification to Travel form. The Permission to Host form can be found by:

  1. Searching the state association's website - look for Sanctioned tournament list and clicking on Permission to Host
  2. The tournament website - look under Documents or Team check-in for Permission to Host.

The fee for a NTT Request is $10, but if the request is received 7 days prior to the first day of the tournament, the fee is $50. Please note that fees are calculated based upon when payment is made online or check is received at the NCYSA state Office.

If you are taking Guest Players outside of your association to your event, you may also complete the Guest Player roster here. As in the past, the Guest Player Roster must be signed by both coaches, red stamped by the releasing registrar, and submitted to the State office. It will not be returned. Your association registrar can help you with this process.

Guidelines for Attending NON-SANCTIONED US Youth Soccer (USYS) Competitions

Several years ago the majority of in-state and out-of-state tournaments were sanctioned by USYS. As a member of NCYSA you are also a member of USYS and USSF (United States Soccer Federation).

There are other soccer organizations that are members of the USSF, but are not members of US Youth Soccer.These organizations, AYSO, SAY, USSSA, and US Club, may offer competitions (tournaments or friendly games) that are sanctioned through their organization, but not through US Youth Soccer. These are considered non-USYS tournaments, and applies to both in state or out of state non-sanctioned tournaments. 

A Notification to Travel/Non-USYS Sanctioned applicaition is completed in order to receive the Team Information Page which is used in lieu of NCYSA passes, rosters, or med waivers.

Your team should be aware of the following information when attending a non-USYS sanctioned tournament:

  1. The use of NC Youth Soccer player passes, rosters and medical waivers is prohibited at non-NCYSA/USYS Sanctioned events.
  2. NCYSA Insurance and Liability Coverage applies to NCYSA/USYS sanctioned competitions only so it is not valid for non-USYS sanctioned events.
  3. If attending a non-sanctioned USYS Competition, (in-state or out-of-state) please make sure all players and parents are aware that the NCYSA insurance will not be in effect for this competition.
  4. Contact the hosting organization regarding insurance coverage for their event.
  5. If the non-sanctioned event is out-of-state, then NCYSA cannot approve a USYS Notification to Travel form, nor does the non-sanctioned event have the authority to require this approval since the event is not sanctioned by USYS. The team will receive the Team Information page which is used in lieu of NCYSA passes, rosters, and waivers.

If you have further questions regarding non-sanctioned competitions please contact Lyn Halstead, lyn@ncsoccer.org, at the NCYSA State Office.
