USYSA Registration Changes

USYSA REGISTRATION CHANGES

1)  The U14 (1997) and U15 (1996) age groups can now roster a maximum of 22 players. A team CAN ONLY DRESS 18 players for a game. Our online registration system SportsSignUp will now allow a U14 or U15 team to roster 22 players maximum.

 

2)  A player that moves from one club team to another team in the SAME club during the seasonal year (Fall 2011-Spring 2012) is no longer considered a transfer player.

USYSA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CUP RULE CHANGES

After the completion of each level of competition a team may add players from within the same club.

                        Competition levels:

a)     Team wins the Eastern New York State Open Cup (Spring start)

b)     Team wins the Region 1 Championship

If a team wins the state cup and advances to the regional championships they may add players, if they win the regional championships and advance to the USYSA National Championships they may add players.

To add a player after the completion of each level of competition these rules apply:

a)     The maximum roster cannot exceed 22 players at any time.

b)     The player being added to the team MUST be rostered on a team in the SAME CLUB as the team adding said player.

c)      The player cannot be added, if the player rostered in the club after the State Cup roster was frozen.

d)     A player that transfers from one club to another club before the state cup rosters are frozen will be considered transfer players when added to the Regional or National roster. Rosters may not exceed five (5) transfer players.

3)  What do the amendments to Rule 221, Section 1, Clause (5), mean?

As has always been an element of team qualification of the National Championships Series (“NCS”), this provision requires that the team competing in the NCS must have at least 9 players common to the roster that the team uses in the league to qualify for Cup as required by clause (4) of this same section.  The “continuity of roster” requirement with the team’s league roster applies at each level of the competition, i.e. State Cup, Regional Championships, and National Championships Finals.

Note: Any player added to a Regional or National roster must have a birthdate within the LIJSL age group guidelines.
