MYSL “’Town’ Player Pass” The ‘Town’ Player Pass” pass concept is when a ‘Town’ uses a player from within their own ‘Town’ to play for another team in their town for a regular season league match. It is not the same as secondary rostering. Players are put on a roster, but the ‘Town’ is allowed to use other players from other teams within their own ‘Town’ for a league match. Using a ‘Town’ Player Pass enables a team to temporarily add player(s) to an existing roster. It is for all age groups Grade 3/4 – Post Grad. Note that the League permits the use of the ‘Town’ Player Pass, but individual Town organizations determine if they want to take advantage of it or not. Town Player Pass will not be allowed in Championship Playoffs, Post Season Play or the Commissioner’s Cup Tournament.
- Logistics:
• ‘Towns’ will still roster teams with MYSL.
• All players rostered to teams within the same ‘Town’ are “‘Town’ pass” eligible.
• There will be no secondary rostering (i.e. players appearing on 2 team rosters for a town simultaneously) Last updated: April 5, 2022 62
• When a team needs player(s) for a match, they use a player(s) within their own ‘Town’.
• A team having a league match may select up to 4 players from within their own ‘Town’ to play for that team.
• The number of players on the sideline, however, may not exceed the maximum “game roster” roster size.
- Game Day Procedure for ‘Town’ Pass:
• Each coach will provide a roster to the opposing coach that indicates if using a ‘Town’ pass player from within their ‘Town’ and who the “’Town’ Player Pass” players are.
• The team official (coach/manager) must communicate their use of ‘Town’ pass players before the game or as soon as practicable following the game, to the: • League Registrar • Age Director • Coach/Manager
• If a player’s passcard is not on-site, he/she is not permitted to play in the game. (Applies only to the Spring Season and Grade 5/6 players and above)
• The coach shall give the referee two copies of the player’s original team roster in addition to the 2 copies of his/her team’s game day roster - indicating on the player pass player’s roster which player is playing up on the Player Pass. (Do not write anything on the roster of the team that the player is playing up on).
• Referees will follow the MYSL rules regarding rosters.
iii. Process For Adding ‘Town’ Pass Players to Your Roster:
• The players “Playing Up” will be added to the “Game Day” team Roster.
• Each ‘Town’ may set up their own process by which teams request ‘Town’ Pass Players be added for specific games (i.e. the deadline when a team must report to the appointed ‘Town’ pass administrator for your ‘Town’).
• The person from the town does not have to be the Registrar, just someone with the authority, the understanding of the ‘Town’ pass system rules, and the access to the ‘Town’ account. iv.
Rules:
• A player may play up for one team no more than 3 times in one season. Example: A player on team #3 can only play on team #2 a maximum of 3 games in one season. However, that same player could play an additional 3 games on team #1.
• A player using the ‘Town’ pass may only play two games in a day.
• A player may not play down in age group per US Youth Soccer and MYSL Rules
• A player is permitted to use the ‘Town’ Player Pass to play for any of a town’s teams placed within the same division
