Where the guest playing and loan paperwork lives — every US Youth Soccer state association, plus US Club Soccer.
Moving a player to another team temporarily — whether for a single tournament or a longer stretch — usually means filling out a form sanctioned by your state association. The exact form, and where it lives, varies from state to state. We track where these forms live and when we last verified them so you can find the right one fast.
We link to the official documents only — we never host or modify them. Always confirm the current version with your state association before relying on it. This page is not an official source.
A player moves between two teams within the same club — for example, playing up an age group or covering for another team. This is usually handled by the club directly and often needs no form at all; only some associations provide one.
A player is loaned from their home club to a different club, typically for a defined period, while staying registered with their home club.
A player temporarily joins another team for a specific event such as a tournament or showcase. Crossing state lines often requires an interstate permission form.
Start from the team you're joining, not from the card you already hold: the paperwork is set by the association that team is registered and sanctioned under, and your player has to be carded under the same one. The state associations below are the US Youth Soccer side of that. ECNL and NPL teams play under US Club Soccer, so if that is who you are guesting for, the state list will not have your paperwork. This will.
A national governing body, not a state association — so there is one process rather than fifty-five. This is the one to follow when the team you are joining is sanctioned under US Club Soccer, whatever your player is currently carded under. Loans are handled entirely in GotSport; there is no PDF to print, sign and hand over.

Temporarily moves a player from one US Club Soccer member organization to another for a named competition.
Yes, 55 for 50 states — California, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas each run two associations. We're not bad at math. The tracker covers USYS members only: US territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands and others) have their own FIFA federations and follow international transfer rules, and Washington, D.C. registers through Virginia or Maryland — all outside this list.
