General Policies
For players to be “in good standing” on a team, they must attend at least 80% of the scheduled training sessions and games. Falling below 80% attendance indicates that the player lacks commitment to his/her team and to the Club.
Player attendance should be reviewed monthly by the Coach and the Team Coordinator. If it is the decision of the Coach and Team Coordinator to drop a player from the roster due to lack of commitment, the VP of Teams must be contacted and a player release form must be completed. No such action shall be taken without cause, and the concurrence of a majority of the Executive Committee. Players "in good standing" may not be dropped from a Team absent failure of such player to fulfill his or her obligation to abide by these operating procedures. Players may not be dropped simply to make room for players adjudged to be more talented.
Injured players are required to attend training sessions and games unless they are excused by the Team Coach. Such excused absences shall be granted sparingly. To further clarify this policy, injured players are likewise to continue paying Club fees and any other team expenses during the duration of their injury.
If a player has an injury with an anticipated duration such that they do not expect to return to play for the balance of the seasonal year or if they chose not to return to play for the balance of the seasonal year, they may ask to be formally dropped from the team roster. This action will relieve them of their responsibility for paying future dues and fees, but not from paying any that may have accrued prior to their being dropped. Being dropped from the roster at the player’s request due to injuries will not in and of itself prevent the player from being selected for a Club team for the next seasonal year. (WSYSA defines a “seasonal year” as September 1 through August 31)
Failure to pay Club fees and team expenses on a timely basis is itself a reason for dropping a player from a team. A player who is dropped from the Club for failure to pay Club fees and team expenses may jeopardize their selection to a Club team for the next seasonal year. Delinquent Club fees and team expenses owed to the team must be paid in full before a player can be reselected to play for the Club for the new seasonal year.
