League rules

Players, coaches, and managers must be registered twenty-four (24) hours prior to taking part in any game for that club, team, or affiliated team.

Players must be registered for the particular team with which the club intends then to play, stating the league or division or reserve team.

Any player, coach, manager or team official found participating in soccer while under CAMSL suspension shall be suspended for one (1) year.

A team playing in the Outdoor season shall not have more than FIVE (5) players on the game sheet who are registered to a senior (over 35 years of age) or youth team. This includes the players listed on the game sheet as trialists.

Players must play a minimum of three league games to qualify for playoffs.

To register and participate in the CAMSL program, a person must be a minimum age of sixteen (16) years old unless part of a fully registered U16 Team approved to join the season by the Board of Directors.

A player may only transfer once in a thirty calendar day period.

A player must wait (7) clear days from the date of his completed transfer forms being submitted before he can play on his new team.

A player may be refused a right of transfer if they are currently serving a suspension, and/or have outstanding fees or equipment owed to their original team.

There shall be no application for transfer of players within the territorial limits of the Association received after business hours on the 31st day of JULY for Outdoor and the 15th day of JANUARY for Indoor.

A player removed from the team roster must wait (7) clear days before he is eligible to be placed back on the roster.

A team playing an ineligible player will forfeit the game in which the ineligible player was either playing or registered on the game sheet. The team will also be accessed a $50 fine.

All CASA teams may register up to a maximum of 20 players at any one time during the season.

A CASA player may be “played up” to a higher division team with the written approval of the player, coach and parents, notwithstanding the required approval from the District. This is limited to five (5) games during the season. If the player plays a further game up he/she shall be considered part of that team and shall be registered with CASA as such.

Unless properly transferred, a player may only play-up from his or her community team to a team from the same community.

How CAMSL applies this: How CAMSL applies this rule: the same-community restriction does not apply — a player may be called up from any club, but only from a lower division. A player never plays down or laterally within their own division.

In league play a new player must be registered three (3) days prior to any game. In the event the new player exceeds the 20-player limit, one player must be dropped off the roster.

An eligible player is one who has properly registered, is not suspended, and resides within the CASA boundaries, unless properly transferred. Playing an ineligible player shall result in the forfeiture of games in which the player took part and may lead to disciplinary action against the coach and/or the subject team.

Unless otherwise sanctioned by CASA involved under special circumstances, a player shall not be permitted to transfer more than twice in the current season. Upon transfer, the player shall remain with that team for a minimum of thirty (30) days.

A player shall not be permitted to transfer after July 31st for the outdoor season in accordance with ASA ruling.

A player shall only be registered on one active registered team at any time during a season with the following exceptions: Provincial all-star team, National all-star team, or an Alberta Summer Games team; CASA United teams formed for training in advance of the regular season’s completion. (These are not considered Active Teams); A youth player may register with, and play for, both a youth team and a senior team.
