CLUB PASSCARDS

FALL 2008/ SPRING 2009

MYSL Rules and Regulations

General

Club Passcards are available to all MYSL Leagues and Clubs with the objective to allow coaches to move players within their own League/Club based on a player’s development needs and specific team needs.

Abusing or violating any of the MYSL rules and regulations while using Club Passcards is a serious offense and will be dealt with by the MYSL board. 

Each participating League/Club has given MYSL a unique sticker, which has been added to the Club Passcards.  This enables the referee and opposing team to determine that there may be Club Passcard players participating in a MYSL league game. The official MYSL game sheet must note, in the spaces provided, ALL players competing in that game who are using their Club Passcards, their name, original team age group and division

Competition Rules

 U-11 and above

·        A player can only use a Club Passcard to play on a team competing in a higher ranked division of competition than indicated on his/her registered team’s Club Passcard. This higher level of competition includes both within the player’s age group and older age groups. A player may not move down a division and or an age group (even if otherwise age appropriate).  When moving up a player you may not move up more than two age groups.

·        Teams playing full sided games (11 V 11 players), may move up NO more than THREE PLAYERS for any given game.

·        Teams must, at all games, meet all age group roster requirements; roster size can not be increased beyond the specified roster size as shown by the MYSL playing grid for each age group.

 U-9 and U 10

·        A player can use club pass cards to either move up or down in either U-9 Or U-10, A player may not move down an age group (even if player is otherwise age appropriate)

·        Teams playing small sided games (6 V 6 and 8 V 8 players), can move up NO more than two players for any given game.

·        Penalty points (YELLOW/RED CARDS)

Cards accrued will remain with the player’s originally registered team.  The penalized player must serve (sit out) his/ her penalty at the next physically played league game of their originally registered team, regardless of which team he/she was playing for when the card was received.

Please note in order to avoid forfeiting a game and possible league position in the standings you must mark that the player is serving his/her penalty for a red card or yellow card accumulation clearly on your game sheet.

If a player receives 3 or more yellow cards in any seasonal year they must sit out a game, this is for all league play regardless of which team and or teams they received the yellow cards with.  3 YELLOW CARDS IN REGULAR LEAGUE PLAY, requires a player to sit out 1 game, with his rostered team

·        Teams that misuse Club Passcards will forfeit the games in which the players participated and will be fined $50 for the first violation, $100 for the second violation, and $200 for the third violation.  In addition to the fines, the team will no longer enjoy the privilege of Club Passcards for the next season, and the coach will be placed on probation for the second violation and MYSL disqualified for a season year for the third violation.
