Thanks Rob..... let me just state that my issue was with the first posting from RS9.... Do not know of the specific situation but felt that "calling out" a club for something needs to be left up to the individual clubs and SCYSA
I am interested in hearing about the new /old wording because as you state we may find lots of players that are ineligible.
if so I know of many instances in the very recent past that this "practice" was allowed and wonder why the change?
I am guessing that the wording "seasonal year" is the issue...
From Page 25 of the ADMIN Handbook on transfers
35. TRANSFER - a player who is currently or was previously rostered on an Official Team Roster
requesting and being moved onto the South Carolina Youth Soccer Official Team Roster of another team or
the return of a released player to the same roster within the current seasonal year. All requests for transfer
must have the explanation portion of the form properly filled out by the player's receiving coach, and the
transferring player's current pass should accompany this transaction. No transferred player may compete
with a new team until he/she receives a new player pass for that team and appears on that team's roster.
a. Any player transferring to another club, without their present (releasing) coach's signature on the
transfer form, will be required to wait 30 days from the date the transfer form was received by the
South Carolina Youth Soccer State Registrar/designee before they can be rostered to another team.
b. The player's present (releasing) coach may approve and sign the transfer form and the player will be
released from their current team and eligible to be rostered to another team immediately upon the
completion of the transfer form by the South Carolina Youth Soccer State Registrar/designee.
c. Any player changing their primary residence by a minimum of 50 miles or across state lines may
request to be transferred to another team without their present coach's approval or a 30 day waiting
period but must meet their financial obligations to the releasing club.
d. In scenario a, b or c, the releasing team coach's signature releases the player from their team and
their financial obligations.
e. Without the releasing coach's signature, a player will not be allowed to transfer to another club until
their present club's documented financial obligation has been completely satisfied.
f. Any academy non-rostered player who releases from one club to another shall complete the
transfer/release form and return their player card to their present club registrar who will destroy
before the release will be considered completed.
g. Any recreation non-rostered player who releases from one club to another during the seasonal year
shall complete the transfer/release form and return their player card to their present club registrar
who destroy before the release will be considered completed. The only exception to this rule is that
non-rostered recreation players may move between clubs from December 1 until January 30 without
completing the transfer/release form but clubs must notify the State Registrar/designee
