Player Cards?

[MWN]

Sometimes players will play at Thanksgiving college showcases with teams from clubs other than their own. Why aren’t these players forced to obtain new cards too?

Because the player has not been "released" from their club. Here is the basic rules:

Player is released from their club? Yes. Collect card.
Player has asked to "guest" play for another club? Yes. Ok, kid, here is your card, bring it back when you return to practice next week.

Borrowing for an event is very different from leaving a club and wanting to use it for the rest of the year. Calsouth assumes when you register you are choosing that club for the year and if you chose to leave early then you obtain a player pass or summer card. No manager should be giving cards to players leaving a club.

Are the insurance issues different? It seems like they would be the same to me. If you paid for the year, then you paid for the year. If you were injured while playing for another club, then you were injured while playing for another club. Why does the timing matter?

Why is there a need to be released? Doesn’t this only matter if you are trying to play National Cup for a different club’s team? This never seems to be an issue at showcase check in at any time of the year.

Another reason the player cards are not given back is for liability purposes. Let’s say the player leaves and gets hurt and applies for medical insurance w/Cal South, who has the burden of filing the paperwork? The club where the player is registered to.

So it’s not over regulation, if a player leaves, have him get dropped/released and get a new player card with his new team. Nothing wrong with that.

All the player card is is a proof of age and insurance. Logistically, it would not be possible for Cal South to do all this work on its own so it delegates it to the clubs and the clubs are paid for their work through club fees.

The family paid for the club for those services for the year with their club fee. It seems reasonable to expect the club to do the work for the year for which fees were paid.

You leave, you're gone. Nothing complicated about that. Get a card from your new club or a tournament card from cal south.

Maybe it is sour grapes after all?

It seems to me that most people (Youngers) that are going to change a club leave after State/National Cup so to have the soccer year for the period August to July doesn't make sense anymore and causes a lot of unneeded paperwork.

August to July makes perfect sense. It’s just that teams start re-forming in December each year.

Ok, but State/National Cup isn't over until July for the youngers that win their region. Appreciate that soccer has three seasons for the typical competitive team: League Play (September-November); State/National Cup: (January - June/July (Finals)); Pre-Season / Summer Tournaments (June-August).

Cal South's State Cup is the qualifier for U.S. Youth Soccer's President and National Cup. It would be a bit silly to have the State and National Cup teams start a new season before their season is over. This suggestion is akin to have the NFL Playoff and Superbowl teams start a new season just because the other teams didn't make it to the playoffs.
