Player or Team Transfer and Release – Sub Clubs:

a. Assignment of a properly registered player to a team; or

b. The player’s first participation in any competition (excluding tryouts and scrimmages leading to team formation) sanctioned by STYSA or its Member Associations.

If the team is disbanded by its member organization/association prior to the start of the fall seasonal play, the players may be released or reassigned without requesting a transfer.

2. Teams. A team wishing to transfer from one sub club to another must complete a Team Transfer Form and submit it to the NBYSA Registrar who will forward it to all members of the Executive Board. Executive Board may approve such transfer by a simple majority. A simple majority of the Executive Board will respond within 5 days to team requests for transfers. A transferring team may not play a game with the receiving club/association until the transfer has been approved by the Executive Board.

3. Transfer Approval. All requests for player transfers shall be submitted to the NBYSA Registrar in writing, stating the reason for the request of transfer. If the NBYSA Registrar approves the player transfer, the information is to be forwarded to the affected organization(s) and person(s). The player is not to play a game with the transferred-to-team until after the transfer has been approved and the player has registered with the transferred-to-team.
