I was wondering if anyone here could give me some information on guest players. I was told that at the coaches meeting this year they made it very difficult to guest play for other teams. The question, is who makes the rules on guest playing? is it USA-Soccer or FYSA? and does anyone know where I can get the actual ruling on this? Thank you.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere is no "rule" on guest-playing. There are rules (under FYSA) against poaching. If you have been contacted by another coach about guest-playing and he didn't clear that with your coach or DOC first, then that coach is in violation of poaching rules for improper contact. If you want to register with a tournament as available to guest-play that should be fine, but you need to talk to your coach as he will have to provide your kid's pass in order for him to play. Bottom line is it is up to your coach and/or club whether they want to allow it. If they say no, I would find another club next year.

The problem with guest playing is if you get hurt then you leave your club team down a player. That is the reason I dont like school soccer when you are playing for a club. To much of a chance to get hurt .

That wasnt the reason for the question
I am asking so that one of my kids can play for another team in my own club. I would like her to play one game for her regular team, and a second game as a "guest player". According to the USA bylaws this was allowed last year, but the new bylaws have not yet been posted, and according to the coach, there was something mentioned at the Coaches meeting in August that would prevent her from doing so. I was wondering if any coach out there may have heard the same thing. No answer from USA soccer yet.
Thx.

All Affiliates,
There was a rule change that was passed at the AGM for playing up.
Players U9 and above may play up two years without approval if it is more than that you must have approval from your Agent of Record/Director of Coaching and the FYSA Director of Coaching. Players U8 and below are only permitted to play up one year.
Please note this applys to Guest play as well

USA bylaws are posted on their website and say teams can have up to three guest players from within the Team's club. Not sure what other league rules are. Why does USA league care if the Clubs are okay with guest play? Why make it harder for kids to play?
