Rule 2.13
Washington Youth Soccer Official Movement Rule
Effective January 1, 2011
Official (Coach, Trainer, Manager) Movement in Washington Youth Soccer
Approved by the Soccer Operations Committee on November 13, 2010, for
implementation on January 1, 2011.
Reason: Mass migrations of teams are not conducive to positive reinforcement of
developmental programs and requirements for quality instruction and adherence to our
rules. Movement of team/club Officials has been put under an age restriction in the
Regional Club League (RCL) with a large degree of success in removing the primary
mechanics for recruiting whole teams into Regional Club structures.
While the age restriction in RCL has mitigated a certain amount of movement, it has also
created increased movement between Regional and Select, Recreational and Select,
between Select clubs only and between Recreational clubs only. This new rule will
prevent importing for all levels.
2.13 Official (Coach, Trainer, Manager) Movement in Washington Youth Soccer
When three or more players move from one team to a team in a different club, a team or
club Official from the former team may not be on the new team roster or actively involved
with the team for no less than one year from the date that the third player is added to the
new team roster, without the express written consent from the departing organization
Board and/or Director of Coaching (DOC).
A team or club Official is defined as any adult acting as a paid or volunteer supervisor,
manager, coach or trainer with a Washington Youth Soccer organization.
