Association
Affiliation, player eligibility, insurance, compliance, cups, statewide policy, and member assessments.
How the network fits together
Association governance without taking over league operations
Michigan Soccer Association supports affiliated adult leagues through player registration, insurance, competition pathways, SafeSport and U18 compliance, and statewide governance.
League
Seasons, registrations, teams, schedules, scores, communications, discipline, and league finances.
Club & team
Players, coaches, training, camps, local registration, payments, and day-to-day soccer operations.
The Root boundary
An affiliation does not grant association staff operational access to a league, club, team, player, or payment account. Upward reporting is scope-specific, audited, and privacy-thresholded. Contract-required history is retained separately from optional future sharing.
