How to register your club roster?
There must be a minimum of 6 due paid members on the roster at all times for any of the options for the club to be considered a club. So in fact, it would be good to have more than 6 youth on the team in case some move or are no longer able to participate.
Send a copy of your roster to Sarah Chabaane at Chabaanes@dnr.sc.gov if you register under any of the club options.
To register your club as a TBF of SC Junior Club, send your roster with
