    Waivers and Compliance

    This is a reminder that in order for organizations, coaches (head coaches only!), and players to participate in the CPYBL, the league needs to be in possession of online documents that need to be filled out once per school year before games begin.  Coordinators and Coaches must be logged into their account to access these forms.  All coordinators are well aware of these requirements, there is no communication between the league and the 10,000 parents associated with it.  We communicate to our member organizations and it is their responsibility to communicate to their coaches and parents.

    There is a matching process that takes place between waivers and rosters based on the last name and birth date of the player.  In some cases, the member organization has the incorrect birth date on the roster and it is the responsibility of the member organization to fix this.  If you are a parent and have correctly filled out your liability waiver, there is no need to fill out 5 others.  Have your member organization check the roster.

    Organizations/Coordinators:  An Organization Agreement form must be filled out (one per organization).  This is available from the Portals->Coordinator menu.

    Coaches: Head coaches (not assistants) must fill out an online Code of Conduct form which is available from the Portals-Coach menu.  Coaches must be logged into their coach account to access form.  Coach accounts are not created until the team registration period is over.

    Players: Parents must filled out a Liability Waiver Form once per school year.  Without this form, your player is ineligible to play in our league and any team that has a rostered player that does not have a liability waiver completed by Wednesday, December 4th at 5pm will result in a forfeiture of their games for the upcoming weekend.
