Hello BENSC Families,
Starting in summer 2022, BENSC has partnered with Sports Connect for our future registration needs. Nebraska State Soccer and BENSC will be using Sports Connect as our registration platform for all programs moving forward.
New users will create an account with Sports Connect before registering. Once you have set up your players profiles with their birth year (and including a head shot photo) you can begin the registration process by selecting an available program that is open.

Important Information:
Before you begin the registration process, below are some important updates to be aware of:
​
-
Chrome Browser - If you are having any difficulties using another browser, please try Chrome. Also, if you have any difficulties on a mobile device (phone/tablet) please try on a computer or laptop.
-
Birth Certificate Upload - will be required within Sports Connect to upload a picture of your child's birth certificate so we are in compliance with Nebraska State Soccer regulations. You will be prompted to upload a jpg of the birth certificate to each player's profile in Sports Connect. If your file is too large, please take a screen shot of the birth certificate and upload the screen shot to the account. This should lower the file size. You can also try using this website to compress your file: https://compressjpeg.com/
-
Player Photo - Please remember to add a head shot of your child to their player profile. This head shot will be used for their player pass that is used at the beginning of each game for team check-in by the referee. The head shot photo is mandatory for competitive players and strongly encouraged for developmental players. The player's head shot should be similar to a driver's license photo so the referee can easily identify the player with their picture. Please do not have multiple people or pets in the photo, this should be a close up picture of each child by themselves.
-
Seasonal Registration Programs - Nebraska State Soccer requires clubs to open registration for one season at a time. You cannot register for Fall and Spring soccer at the same time.
-
Transaction Fee - Sports Connect will charge a $3.00 transaction fee for the initial order (regardless of the number of players on the order).

Play Up Request Information
Bennington Soccer Club (BENSC) has a Play Up Committee that handles all play up requests. When a parent asks if their player can “play up” to another team, the committee asks for an initial assessment of the players skills. This initial assessment can be completed by a member of the committee or one of the coaches involved with the players current team.
Prior to being allowed, the Director of Coaching would complete one final skill assessment, discuss the potential move with all coaches, and let the parent know of the decision once this is completed.
A few things to consider: a player can be a guest player on any team within our club for tournaments and or league games if they are younger. This will allow the coach to assess the players skill and/or allows the player the opportunity to play on a higher level team. Playing in a game/tournament at a coaches request does not automatically mean a play up request was granted or the process has been completed, it also does not interfere with their current team status.
​
All coaches are informed of a play up request (this means the players current coach and the coach of the requested age group). There will be communication between all coaches, the DOC and the Play Up Committee to make sure the play up request benefits all involved. BENSC's commitment is to the player, not an individual team or coach. We believe all players should have the opportunity to develop with players of similar skill level and if that cannot be accomplished in their own age group, then a play up request may be allowed. We do not grant play up requests solely to make a select team or because the coach would like the player.
