We have four REQUIRED clearance/training items and one OPTIONAL (but strongly encouraged). The instructions to apply for these clearances are below.
 
Step 1 (REQUIRED): Check your clearances dates. If you have documents dated 6/22/19 or NEWER, then they are good for this season (please email pdf copies to the league if you have not done so already). If you do not know if your clearances are current, you may contact the league at [email protected] to check.
  
Step 2 (REQUIRED): If you need to renew ANY of your three clearances, please see the A, B, C links below to do so.
