[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has there always been 5 game suspension for moving clubs? 25/26 rule book.

Player Transfers
Players may only play for one Club during an ECNL season unless the League Office grants a transfer. The Season is defined as the start of the fall season through the final ECNL weekend in the spring. If a transfer request is granted, a transferred Player must sit out five (5) ECNL games before being eligible to play for his/her new club. Any Player not sitting out will be considered an illegal Player. The League Office has the final say on all transfers.[/quote]

This must be new - and wow what a penalty. We had a player who moved to our club and started right away. We only had 6 games left when they joined. Seems ridiculous when ECNL only has 14 league games a season in total. They need to get rid of this rule unless they schedule more games. [/quote]

Who is transferring mid season to a competing club and expecting to play immediately? It seems reasonable if a family is completely relocating since there should be some downtime in between.[/quote]

Midseason changes should be uncomfortable, especially in the same league. 
You sign a contract and make a commitment, you stick out the year.
I assume GA and MLSNext nonAcademy teams have something similar. Obviously with Academy you should be able to be "called up" with no penalty.
Tryouts are when you change teams, poaching mid season is slimy and says more about the parents and poaching Club.
Good for ECNL.
