(1 of 17) ANNOUNCEMENT - posted 06/13/2025 12:00am

The YSSL will be requiring updated player photos for the 2025 FALL registration.

Please follow these points when taking or accepting player head-shots:

1. Front-facing, looking at the camera (no hats/sunglasses)

2. One player in the photo, no team photos and good lighting

3. Only head and shoulders - should not be full length or action photos

4. Clear, non-blurry photo that is not a screen shot of a passport or state ID

5. No silly faces

6. MOST IMPORTANTLY, a recent from the past 6 months.
