Mitchell
League mini soccer rule 8(B) - whilst there are no
specific obligations to register players with the League this policy
is subject to review as there have recently been allegations of
abuse. In general terms, a player cannot play for a club in any
competition unless he has signed a club registration form and
lives within 15 miles of the ground used by the club to play their
matches. Your attention is drawn
also to the rules which apply when a player wishes to 'transfer'
from one club to another. See League rules section (and subject to
late registrations). Once all financial commitments have been
satisfied to the club the player is leaving, he/she is free to leave
and can play for the new club once they have signed for them
Mitchell
League mini soccer rule 8(K) -
Late registrations A player may not be registered for a Club
nor transferred to another Club in the Competition after 1st
February except by special permission of the Management Committee.
Permission is no longer likely to be granted where a player is
leaving a club which has completed its playing season to play for
one which has not. It will be the responsibility of the club wishing

continue to play for them in the following season and that the
transfer is not a temporary measure.

GUIDANCE
ON APPLYING AGE RULES
These rules are clear and THE
AGE LIMITS WILL BE RIGIDLY APPLIED Team
managers should also be aware that playing children younger than the permitted
minimum in any age group may have insurance/legal repercussions in the
event of a serious injury to that child sustained on the field of play. Teams fielding over-age or otherwise ineligible
players for competitive games in mini soccer can expect the Management Committee to dock points
from that team's record (in accordance with rule 8(P)) in addition to any fine
imposed.
It is the responsibility of the team manager to obtain accurate
information about a player's age and eligibility to play. Team managers attention is also drawn to the other
Mitchell League rules on player eligibility clearly set out in rule 8. A full
copy of the rules are in the Mitchell League Rules section of this web site.
