if you're just a "ringer" for one team and show up for games, and then you actually practice with the other.

We know a kid who plays like this within the same club. Just goes to some games for the higher team when he can. Not sure why.

Many teams play in both NCSL and EDP. That can be 2-3 games each weekend. With the unlimited pass in NCSL you can play for as many of your own clubs games as you can attend as long as you are either playing your age or up.

Obviously it doesn't work for your kid. Not every team practices 4 days a week with 1-2 games. Eventually playing that much will degrade your dc soccer by mid to late season.

How about in different states? Could you play for a usys team in Maryland and in virginia? Or not?

As long as the two leagues are not both governed by US Youth Soccer or both governed by US Club Soccer. For instance, I don't think you could play for a VBR Star CCL team and a VA Beach City FC EDP team because both CCL and EDP are governed by US Youth Soccer.

Correct. Also, your kid could play for a different team in tournaments than in leagues as tournaments have their own roster process.

The key is the player pass.

You can club pass within the same club in EDP

One of our goalies was rostered on an NPL club and on our team from a different club that played EDP. The loophole was one team was NPL (US Club Soccer) and the other was EDP (US Youth Soccer). One company couldn't police the other company so he had a card in each organization.

Yes as mentioned and the two different teams are from the same club.


You can't play in the same league for two different clubs.

Yes. There are several lower division clubs bringing in players from better teams within their club playing in different leagues to bolster those weaker teams and try to stop the bloodshed.

Like if one team is a lower division of NCSL and the other team is EDP/CCL- can you be rostered to both?
