[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there are two overarching soccer organizations. US Club Soccer and US Youth Soccer. Each player can only have one player card/pass from each organization and that player card must be linked to a specific team.  Each team belongs to a league and each league belongs to one of these two organizations.

NCSL=USYS
EDP=USYS
ECNL-R=US Club
ECNL=US Club

So, for example, you cannot be rostered on an ECNL team (US Club) and a different club's ECNL-R team (US Club), but you can be double rostered on an EDP team or NCSL team. Once you have a player card, you can guest play...with some limitations. Some tournaments, and I have no idea why, require that if the team entering the tournament is registered in a USYS league (NCSL for example), the guest players must have a USYS player card. If the team entering the tournament is registered with a US Club league (ECNL-R for example), the guest player must have a US Club player card. So in other words, if your kid plays ECNL-R, they wouldn't be able to guest play on an EDP team in MOST tournaments....for example.

If you play ECNL or ECNL-R for example, you wouldn't be able to play on the 3rd team in the same club who is in EDP or NCSL unless the club created a USYS player pass for you as well.

And no, when you guest play, the club does not get an alert or anything.

I hope I explained that OK. Good luck.

If you decide to double roster, do you disclose to one or both coaches? Is there a requirement to do so?  Are coaches generally OK with double rostering provided it doesn’t impact their games and practices are not missed? [/quote]

There's no requirement but, if you don't disclose and you get caught, someone is going to get pissed off, which can affect your kid's relationship with that coach and/or club. One team should be the priority. Don't forget PARENTS! Parents are going to find out and they usually care the most. Some will be bitter that their kid isn't doing it or whatever or they might think your kid is tired and not giving his best to this team, etc.

Oh one other thing that I forgot....for ECNL, at least at some ages, there are limits to how many kids can be double rostered. I think it's two. So yes, if your kid plays ECNL, then you need to have that talk with the coach.[/quote]
