DUAL ROSTERING

US Youth Soccer and FYSA allow players to be rostered simultaneously to two (2) different teams. These teams may be in different clubs or even in different regions. The initial team a player is registered to will be the “primary” team, and the other team will be the “secondary” team. Should a player wish to change his/her status with a team from secondary to primary, the player will have to “transfer” from the secondary team to the primary team. The player will then be considered a previously rostered player and such action will count as a “move” against the receiving team. The player’s status is listed on the Official State Roster and on player passes with the primary team listed first.

For players who are dual rostering to another team in the same club, the registrar may go online to the secure section of the FYSA website to the online forms, COS section, and complete an intra-club dual roster form. For players who wish to dual roster to a team in a different club, a paper inter-club dual roster form must be competed, and the original form must be forwarded to the FYSA office. No faxes or scanned copies will be accepted and/or processed.

While FYSA allows players to be dual rostered, competitions may place limits on the eligibility of dual rostered players. FYSA’s State Cup and President’s Cup competitions require players to participate with their primary team only. Leagues and tournaments can allow or disallow the use of secondary status players for league or tournament games. Also, teams that participate in FYSA’s State Cup must ensure that the total number of rostered players on that team (primary and secondary combined) at no time during the seasonal year exceeds the specified number for the team’s age group (i.e., 18 for U13 to U16, and 22 for U17 and above).
