Through integrated web and mobile platforms developed by Blue Star Sports, Arizona Youth Soccer Association will provide its members with a simplified player registration process and adherence to the required standards for FIFA Connect and the International Clearance Certificate (ITC) process. The system will also provide members with a seamless integration with platforms such as U.S. Soccer’s National Data Center and Digital Coaching Center.
