Parents went through a registration process in June that involved the NASA Tophat PlayMetrics system. There are two additional player eligibility requirements that need to be completed via a different system known as GotSport.
GotSport handles player eligibility confirmation for inter-league play. It’s not an NTH system like PlayMetrics, but it’s required for large clubs which field teams in multiple leagues.
GotSport Player Requirements:
All new NTH Junior Academy and Academy players must meet the following GotSport eligibility requirements. This post applies to Academy and Junior Academy players only (birth years 2012-2017). Older players may have different requirements.
Eligibility documents required by GotSport:
Each new player needs to submit two documents, deadline July 10:
- Upload a player photo: head and shoulders, plain background, uniform not required. GotSport isn’t integrated with PlayMetrics, so photos that were uploaded to PlayMetrics don’t transfer into the GotSport system.
- Upload a player’s proof of birth: birth certificate or passport / government ID
If your daughter played for another club last year, she’ll need to complete the requirements again this year as an NTH player.
Returning NTH players: If your daughter had GotSport requirements approved last year, you won’t need to do anything in GotSport this year. But we encourage families of returning players to check their daughter’s photo and update if needed.
Completing GotSport Player Requirements:
Login to GotSport:
Open this web site: https://system.gotsport.com. If you have an existing GotSport account, login using your e-mail address.
If you don’t have a GotSport account, login using the e-mail address that you used to set up your account in the NTH PlayMetrics system. Do not create duplicate accounts!
If this is your first time logging in, click “forgot password” to set a password.
Important: When a parent logs in they will be accessing the system through their own user account login and not the player’s profile. To find their associated player(s) they will click “family” in the top menu bar. Then click on the player and follow instructions below.
1. Upload photo to player profile:
The photo is used for player ID cards and match reports. The photo must be added to the specific player (child) profile, not your own (parent) profile.

The player’s name in GotSport must be identical to her birth certificate name. No nicknames. Failure to match can result in a denied proof of birth.- Pothole alert: Take your hands away from the keyboard, mouse or screen for a moment. Read the next paragraph. (Look for the right answer, not the reason.) Then check the screen shot and read the next paragraph again. Now you know the right answer for the Document Repository name.
- Document Repository name: Select US Club Soccer - Proof of Birth. (Do not select Girls Academy or NASA Tophat!) See screenshot.
