Just got a message from SoCal that players are now allowed to play 2 games per day.
What a great way to give freedom to big clubs to have their ECNL, Discovery and Flt 1 players play on Flt 3 and 4 teams.
Way to go SoCal!
CLUB PASS RULE:
If you have a player(s) from your club that is going to club pass to your team (and are age appropriate), write the players name and player id# on all 3 copies of the game report. Players MUST HAVE THEIR PLAYER ID CARD (US CLUB SOCCER card) in order to be eligible to play in the game. A photo of the player card is acceptable as well.
FOR FALL 2021 - Players can play in TWO games PER DAY. There is no special card for the club pass, the player just needs their player ID cards (or photo of their player ID card).
NOTE ON CLUB PASS RULE:
Players can only club pass between teams, from their own club with US Club Soccer player cards. Players from other leagues (CSL, Presidio, GA, MLS Next, EA DPL) may NOT club pass to an SOCAL team within your club unless they have a US CLUB SOCCER player card.
ECNL and ECRL players are US Club sanctioned and are eligible to use their ECNL or ECRL player cards to club pass, per the criteria in the Rules & Regulations to SOCAL teams.
There is no roster freeze week-to-week for club passing players and they can be written on the Games Reports even on game day.
This is all part of the all new US Club Soccer scam. US Club Soccer lets the leagues monitor and lets them make their own rules, US Club will only get involved if its a major conflict, so they stay out of most of it. So, think about this, leagues have all the control, so who runs the leagues? Take a look, its all the DOCs from the major clubs. Now you have all the big clubs running the league and making rules that benefit them!!! Small clubs don't have a huge Player Pool to pull from, its the big clubs that will borrow top players to make sure their team place well. Funny all the Directors and Technical committee have ECNL teams, which they allow to pull from, but of course teams with EA and MLS Next can't pull players from those teams....this is craziness!!!!
The clubs aren't dumb, they know teams that win bring in the kids....the more you win, the better chance you have of growing your club...so sad they take advantage of parents and kids...At least when Cal South was involved there was some checks and balances....it's only going to get worse...I just don't get it, sure seems like there's a conflict of interest here?
