PLAYER MOVEMENT CLARIFICATION

509a. Player Transfers
Once a player signs a registration form, the player is bound to that specific Club for the duration of the Soccer Playing Year (August 1st - July 31st). If, at any time between December, January or February, a competitive player requests to transfer to another Club, that player must complete and submit a Player Request Transfer Form to the NISL Administrative Office. The player must also submit a Transfer Request Fee of $100

509b. Player Movement Within Their Own Club
Players with a US Club pass are allowed to play on any age-appropriate team within their own Club, or may be assigned to any team that is no more than two years older than the registered player unless otherwise allowed/directed by the League, up to available roster size per age.

For Clubs that have multiple teams within specific age groups, a player may move freely among those multiple teams. HOWEVER – moving players down within their own age group to win games is not the intent of this rule. The player’s development should always be at the forefront of any player movement within a Club.
