I stopped reading this thread after the word "Parents" I kept reading because I know Parents in Spanish means Trainwreck and I won't miss that

I stopped reading this thread after the word "Parents" That's funny seeing as the "parents" make it possible for the DOC,s and coaches to earn the money they're making! And the "Parents" make their kids available to be a source of income for the coaches! And the "Parents" must act as the spokesperson for their kids.. cause it seems obvious that if you leave it up to adults, who usually act like kids, no telling where some kids would be. So it would seem you would give the "Parents" a little ore respect than that! Or maybe not! :-)

I'm a spokesperson for my child. But it's her fault for leaving it up to me, who is most definitely a 12 year old trapped in a 35 year old's body. I guess my child is doomed. If my statement was disrespectful, I truly apologize. I will move aside and let the mob of pitch fork and torches go by. I may even join, the LSA president owes me a drink. Hand me a torch.

The policy, which was passed unanimously by all member clubs last year, states that a transfer player after January 1 is not eligible to play in LCSL, RPL or state tournaments. All clubs were aware of this, and all clubs were well aware of the closure dates of the LSA office. The blame for tardiness in submitting a transfer would lie first with those responsible for submitting such paperwork. Once more, every LSA club voted in favor of this policy when it passed last year for 16-17. The player may play with the team for friendlies and invitational tournaments.

The online policy states Dec 31st. LSA requires electronic registration. Therefore the registration is time stamped. If the rule is all paperwork should be in prior to the Holiday Break then that should be made clear in writing. A verbal "understanding" will not stand up against a time stamp registration that meets the legal deadline. If LSA is going to hold the clubs to Dec 22nd in the future, then it must be in writing.

The main issue is simple. A 10 year old girl has to sit on the bench and watch her team play while she feels left out. This child had nothing to do with the adults making this decision - and yes it is a decision because the deadline was met according to the bylaws.

Maybe when you have that drink you can talk to the LSA president and have him look at the 3 registrations that were completed on time but not received by an office that was closed. They are time stamped. If the LSA president is the same guy, I haven't checked, he actually is fair and about kids but this seems to be less a board decision and more an office management decision. Either way I don't know any of the big dogs, but you clearly do and seem to be a great guy who coaches for free so kids come first, advocate for these children and I will treat you to a few drinks!

I got a speeding ticket the other day and was only going a little over the limit. Hope they let me out of my fine.
Sorry but if you do something wrong or late then I guess you have to pay the consequences. Everyone breaks rules but there also has to be somebody to enforce them. In the case I think the clubs made the rules and it's LSA's role to make sure that they are enforced. It can't be one rule for this person and another for someone else. There has to be consistency. Now if only we could get consistency in the refereeing but that's a discussion for another day.

If the registration was received but the office was closed, it should be honored. Anything received by mail until the office was open and any electronic time stamped items. If they wanted it processed by then, someone should have gone in on New Years to process.
It probably would have taken an hour or so. If you didn't get it in on time then that's different.

I'm new to this site as I only found out about it at the High School soccer finals and then found this discussion and had to add something. I got back involved with club soccer a year ago on the same board after several years away. As a club board member I have tried to call the Executive Director at LSA with no answer and his voice mail is always full! It is disappointing when you can never get hold of the person and it was very different with Ms. Davis at LSA.
With everything I have read here it's no wonder that as a club we are discussing different options away from LSA. One of our coaches has mentioned going US Club and has spoken to some of his colleagues about doing the same. I'm curious to find out if any other clubs are also looking at different options.

I think you would be better served to start a new thread asking this question, as opposed to adding this request on this thread. I also venture that most coaches/DOC's are known on here thus you may not get real answers out of fear of Lsa

They went back, but with an understanding that soccer was for the people and by the people!
