Club Pass Policy
For the Fall 2022 SJSL season, the league will allow the use of Club Pass players
The SJSL Club Pass Policy replaces the guest player system previously used. Please do not submit guest player requests because they will not be honored. Club Pass players (hereinafter “CP”) will constitute a small pool of predesignated players that a team may use to fill out their roster, either as needed or on a more full-time basis. The intent of this policy is not to provide a way for teams to stretch low player numbers. Rather, it is a program to allow clubs to give players additional touches in game situations and also to provide teams that utilize CP Players a bit of continuity among their players.
The following rules apply to the Club Pass Player policy:
Teams must have enough players on a roster to field a team before using CP players.
All players sought to be added as CP players must play for that same club, playing on another team playing in the SJSL for that same season.
The players should be added to the team’s Primary Player List as CP players on the Fall 2022 Event Roster
Teams may add to their Fall 2022 Event Roster a maximum of 3 CP players at any one time for each small-sided team (U8-U12) and a maximum of 4 CP players for full-sided teams (U13- U19).
Players listed as a CP for team club passes in the SJSL Fall 2022 Event are not on the team primary rosters that are used for tournaments. If you are entering a tournament you should make sure you are following their guest playing rules.
CP players must wear a matching uniform for the team they are playing with. If there is a duplicate jersey number, the coach may take steps to correct this, but having the CP player wearing a duplicate uniform number will not preclude that player from participating in the match.
CP may play under the following age guidelines:
a) CP players may play up on an older-aged team as long as the request conforms to the league’s Playing Up rules. See R. 3005.
b) Players who are primarily carded to an older team, may be included as CP players for an age-appropriate team.
In the event that a CP player is not going to play in a particular game, the player must be crossed off of the GDR for that game - just like if a regular player is not playing in that game.
The above rules are subject to revision by the SJSL Exec Board and will be posted here.
