And the FVU board caved to the 2010 parents and told her that she couldn’t go to playoffs. Well done FVU 2010 parents. Hope you enjoyed your two loses in ECNL 2010 without a goal scorer. Great job. Good luck on playoffs.


Again, this seems like a non-issue within a club, and nothing to do with this thread. Of course the 2010 coach wanted her for playoffs, but club decided since she was leaving for another club, they did not want to reward her with that opportunity. Yu can debate pro/con of that decision, but completely within clubs purview and nothing to do with breaking any rules.


Im with the club on this one. You stay you play. You go? Uh.... no.

It happens every year all over the country. Teams load up for the playoffs.

What age group is Vda doing this?


Rhymes with 7-11


That team didn't make playoffs.


Exactly which is why they are trying to play up with their current club's 2010s to be able to play in playoffs, and then leave for VDA in August. This is highly unusual and been out in the open for sometime so we'll see what happens I guess. Someone is about to look like a donkey.


This doesn’t make any GD sense. You’re saying that VDA 2011s is making another team take a 2011 to playoffs with that team for playoffs. “Leave for VDA in August” How exactly would VDA manage that?! You’re an idiot.

Isn't this really at discretion of current club? They are on current club roster through July. So if club wants to play them up an age group even though they are leaving for a new club next season that is current club's choice.

2.11.1 The ECNL is intended to be a development platform for players and teams, requiring a connection between the regular team training environment and the competition environment. As such, Rule 2.11.1 applies to all ECNL Registered Players except for the enumerated exceptions provided in Rule 2.11.3 and Rule 2.11.4, and as provided below in Rule 2.12 regarding Discovery Players. Once registered, an ECNL Registered Player may only participate in 11v11 outdoor competitions with his/her ECNL Member Club for the duration of the ECNL Season (unless released pursuant to the ECNL transfer/release rules herein or otherwise as provided below in this section 2.11). (For purposes of clarification, the ECNL Registered Player may appear in any 11v11 outdoor competition in which the ECNL Club participates during the ECNL Season. This requirement only applies to US Soccer member-sanctioned competitions and does not apply to informal, unsanctioned 11v11 outdoor competitions.) <B>Except as provided below, if an ECNL Registered Player plays in a US Soccer member sanctioned 11v11 outdoor competition for a different club besides the ECNL Club to which he/she is registered as an ECNL Registered Player after the date he/she became rostered as an ECNL Registered Player (“Multiple Club Rostering”), the eligibility of the ECNL Registered Player will be reviewed by the ECNL Commissioner. <B> If it is determined by the ECNL Commissioner that the ECNL Club to which the ECNL Registered Player is registered was aware of the Multiple Club Rostering, the ECNL Commissioner may take any or all of the following actions, without limitation: (i) declare the ECNL Registered Player ineligible for the remainder of that ECNL Season; (ii) declare all games in which the ECNL Registered Player appeared on the ECNL Roster as forfeits by the ECNL Team on which such player was rostered; and / or (iii) recommend revocation of the ECNL Member Club’s membership in the ECNL.

The rules definitely allow for it, but like 3 or 4 checkpoints must be met in order for it to happen.


They definitely do and that's my point, the spirit of the rules make it seem like they discourage this practice but the language is up for interpretation and certain clubs just have a different pull within the league.
