CLUB GUEST PLAYERS: The Operations Committee approved the continuation of the use club guest players, with the following revisions: (1) a club guest player must be rostered to a team playing in the CUSL fall or spring league; (2) no player rostered to a First Division team may guest for a team in its own age group in a less competitive division; (3) a player rostered to a First Division team may only guest for an older team in its club that plays in the First or Second Division; (4) a player not rostered to a First Division team cannot guest for a team in its own age group that plays in more than two less competitive divisions; (5) a club guest player must present his/her player pass prior to the match; without it, the player is not permitted to play; (6) a team violating a club guest player rule will forfeit the match .... NOTE: IT IS A COACH'S RESPONSIBILITY, PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE MATCH, TO DETERMINE THE TEAM USING THE CLUB GUEST PLAYER IS COMPLYING WITH CLUB GUEST PLAYER RULES. THEREFORE, THE TEAM USING THE CLUB GUEST PLAYER MUST BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR THE OPPOSING COACH TO DETERMINE COMPLIANCE WITH THE RULES; IN THE ABSENSE OF SUCH INFORMATION, THE PLAYER CANNOT GUEST.... BECAUSE A RULES VIOLATION CAN EASILY BE ASCERTAINED PRIOR TO THE MATCH, A PROTEST THAT A RULE WAS VIOLATED CANNOT BE BROUGHT .... the preceding rules, when in conflict, shall take precedence over club guest player rules posted elsewhere.

DIVISION PROMOTION AND RELEGATION: Last year, the Board of Governors approved the decision of the Operations Committee to go to six-team first divisions for U-11 and older teams, with U-11s playing in that format this spring, and all ages in fall, 2008. It was understood that going to that format could affect team promotion and relegation since eight or nine team first divisions of the spring would now be six. Obviously, this would have has a domino affect on the lesser competitive divisions of an age group We say it could, rather than would, affect team movement because some teams will be moving from CUSL to a premier league. So while, at first, it would appear there is no room for second division teams to move to the first, the loss of teams to a premier league would, in fact, open places for them. In each of the oldest age groups, the number of teams participating will determine its format.

 

Dear Member CUSL Club;
 
For your information the Kolping Soccer Club and the American Soccer Club have
merged into a new organization which is the Kolping-ASC Soccer Club.
 
They submitted a request to submit an application for membership into CUSL -
which was approved.  Last night at a Board of Governors Meeting, their
application for membership was approved and they have notified us that they will
accept our offer of membership and begin play this fall in CUSL as a member
club.
