| My DD just informed me that her coach is going to roster her for the ECNL team. She's already rostered on their EDP team, but I was wondering if this is legal? |

| Yes, players can be dual rostered. |

In this situation, EDP is rostered through the state association while ECNL is rostered through a different organization, US Club Soccer, so there is no conflict with her being on both teams and everything is above board. This could mean the coach sees her as a stronger player and would like her to move up to the ECNL squad in the future.
You may want to double check with the club that the fees are the same if she is dual-rostered, some clubs charge higher for ECNL. Better to find out now than get blindsided later. |

Should also check in on travel costs, ECNL can get expensive. |

Hey there. While dual rostering is often fine, just as in this case it is, you may also want to consider the impact this will have on your daughter and how she is perceived by each team.
Hopefully this is being done for the right reasons, and not just a numbers game - but I've often see this ostracize a player from both teams as they were viewed as disloyal. Stupid, but I've seen much stranger things. |
