following items:

verification will be a birth certificate (original or certified copy). Thirdly, a colour photocopy of
the player’s current driver’s licence will be accepted.
2. We do not have the capacity to check residency or if a player has played for another country in

3. The process will be:
a. age verification papers as described above should be provided by the team manager to
the TD, or their appropriate appointee, at a training session before the event;
b. if the team does not arrive in time for a training session, then the team manager must
arrange a time with the TD prior to the first match;

c.

originals/photocopies is not compromised;

team manager who in turn returns them to all players;
e. A digital copy of the proof of age documents will be accepted - e.g. on a USB drive.
