MYSA Rules on Dual Rostering
Dual (Multiple) Rostering |
 |
Section 201. Multiple Rostering
Mass Youth Soccer permits certain players to play for more than one team in a season. The specifics of the Multiple Rostering rules are found in Section 201 of Mass Youth Soccer's Bylaws.
The following serves as a guideline to the multiple rostering rule:
1. The player must be under the age of 14. Multiple rostering is not permitted for players 14 or older. However, a player who is under the age of 14 may play on an older team without violating this part of the rule.
2. The player cannot play on more than one team in the same competition. For example, it is acceptable to play on a team that is competing for State Cup and another team that is competing for MTOC. It is not acceptable to play on two teams that are competing for State Cup, even if they are in different age groups.
3. The player can only compete on one team that is in a US Youth Soccer competition (State Cup, for example). In general, this prevents a player from playing on two teams in different states.
4. A player may be placed on a tournament roster, playing for a different team for the purposes only of competing in a specific in-state or our-of-state tournament. This is not considered multiple rostering.
