A. There are no restrictions on clubs, coaches, parents, or players contacting each other after completion of all Delaware State Cup Finals relative to participation on a team the following seasonal year. Non-State Cup age brackets will have an applicable contact date of May 15th.
B. The seasonal year runs from September 1 through August 31 of the following year.
C. During a seasonal year, a carded player or the player's parent may initiate a transfer to another team following the DYSA rules.
D. The player or player's parent must contact the DYSA State Registrar prior to contacting the club manager, coach, or official of another team. The State Registrar will record the contact. If the new team accepts the player, the new team's official will initiate the transfer process. The team the player is transferring to is responsible for the DYSA transfer fee.
E. Players will not be registered and, therefore, will not be eligible to participate in any USYSA activity until acknowledgement of these rules is provided to DYSA.
F. Players that are currently rostered to a team may not practice, play (including guest playing) or train with another team, registered with an opposing club, without first contacting the State Registrar at registrar@dysa.org with what the players intentions are for practicing, playing or training with another team. DYSA view players practicing or training with another team as a violation of the recruitment rules unless the State Registrar has been notified. Particularly if a player practices, plays or trains with another teams and transfers to that team during the soccer year.
G. The coach, manager, parent, or player of a team may not initiate contact with a carded player or parent of another team for the purposes of encouraging a player to transfer during the seasonal year. Violators may be suspended one year from DYSA-sponsored activities. If approached by another team's player or parent about transferring teams, direct them to the DYSA State Registrar.
