A youth player may transfer between Affiliate Members, clubs and teams with the approval of the current coach or Affiliate Member representative. |

a. |
The following, while not exclusive, are valid reasons for not transferring a player requesting a transfer during the seasonal year: |
| |
|
|
When the player individually or as part of a group of players requesting transfer, would leave the current team with an insufficient number of healthy players to field a full team; or |
| |
|
2. |
When the player is indebted to the releasing team and/or Affiliate Member (money, uniforms, and other tangible goods). |
| |
|
3. |
When a player has a change of commitment towards an Affiliate Member. |
| |
b. |
The following, while not exclusive, are valid reasons for transferring a player during a seasonal year: |
| |
|
1. |
Player relocation to a different community that exceeds a reasonable travel distance; or |
| |
|
2. |
When the player was illegally registered and rostered as determined by the Dispute Resolution Committee; or |
| |
|

When a team is formed with multiple age group players and the players can be placed within an age group team. |
| |
|

When an Affiliate Member team disbands and that fact is officially recognized, acknowledged, accepted and noted by the Association, any player thereof may at once register with the team of another Affiliate Member and will be considered a transfer. |
