MYSL CLUB PASSCARDS

Club Passcards are available to all MYSL Leagues and Clubs with the objective of allowing 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 as such.

Each participating League/Club must give MYSL an approved logo that will be printed on all of their passcards.  This enables the referee and opposing team to determine that there may be Club Passcard players participating in an 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, supplying their name, original team, age group and division. FAILURE TO FILL OUT GAME SHEETS PROPERLY COULD RESULT IN A MISUSE OF CLUB PASSCARDS AND A VIOLATION OF REGULATIONS AS STATED BELOW.

[ The MSPSP club passcard rules have been included as a separate adendum at the end of these rules]

  • A player may not move up more than two age groups. At  no time can you Club Passcard a player to a team playing in the same division and age group.
  • Teams playing 9 v 9 or 11 v 11 may move up NO MORE than FOUR PLAYERS for any given game.
  • Teams must, at all games, meet all age group roster requirements; roster size cannot be increased beyond the specified roster size as shown by the MYSL playing grid for each age group.

FOR AGE GROUPS U-8, U-9 and U-10

  • A player can use a Club Passcard to PLAY for any of their specific Club/League teams in their respective age groups, while playing in either U-8, U-9 or U-10.  A player may not play in an age group lower than shown on his/her passcard (even if otherwise age appropriate).

  • Teams playing small-sided games (6v6, and 7v7), can move up NO MORE than THREE players for any given game.

Penalty points (YELLOW/RED CARDS)

  • Cards accrued will remain with the player on 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 clearly that the player is serving his/her penalty for a red card or yellow card infraction on your game sheet.
  • If a player receives three (3) or more yellow cards in any seasonal year, they must sit out a game. This applies to all league play regardless of which team and or teams they received the yellow cards with.  THREE (3) YELLOW CARDS IN REGULAR LEAGUE PLAY require a player to sit out one (1) game with his rostered team.

MISUSE OF CLUB PASSCARDS

  • Teams that misuse Club Passcards will forfeit the games in which the players participated and both the team and its league/club will be fined $100.00 for the first violation.  Upon the second violation, the head coach will incur a fine of $250.00 and a three-game suspension, and your league/club will be fined $250.00.  Upon the third violation, the head coach will be fined $500.00 and will receive a one-year suspension, and your team’s league/club will have to post a $500.00 bond for the next seasonal year.
