There is no cost to the player, manager or coach that is releasing or to the team.


However, for players we do require a signed SFYS-SAY Transfer form.

The purpose of the form is to ensure that all parties involved are informed of the movement. The form must be signed by the Parent/Guardian and a rostered Coach or Team Manager of the Releasing team. For team staff we require acknowledgement in writing by the staff member in advance of release.


  • Players may not be released or transferred if the releasing team will drop below the minimum number of rostered players.
  • ​Players must settle any financial obligations with their old team in advance of any release.
  • All releases and transfers require relinquishment of pass.
    Note: For Recreational Players who have only digital player passes, this does not apply.

RELEASE PLAYER OR TEAM STAFF

ROSTER CHANGES ARE

NOT INSTANTANEOUS!
​

Depending on the team level (Rec vs. Comp), time of season (there is always a mad last-minute rush before season start) and other technical factors, teams should expect at least a 5 day turnaround.

Cost: FREE

If a player wishes to release from a team, he or she may do so as long as the team does not drop below the minimum roster size. The team may need to first find another player before releasing a player. If the player wishes to drop from your team and instead play on another team, please see the player transfer instructions.


Drop off or mail to SFYS for each dropping player:


  1. ​The current year player pass from the old team

  2. Fill out and print and sign the SFYS-SAY Transfer Form. Required signatures : Player Guardian and a rostered Coach/Manager. Clean, clear scans and faxes as well as digital signatures are acceptable.​​
