Guest Players

Coaches are permitted to add club guest players to the Match Day Game Roster with Photo ID (MDGR/ID), but they must provide proof that the players:

• Are registered within the same club, and

• Are of the correct age or younger (maximum two years younger)

Accepted Proof of Eligibility

• Physical laminated player cards with photo from the team the player is coming from

• A copy of the team roster, with the guest player’s name clearly circled

Note: Players must be the correct age or up to two years younger than the team they’re guesting for. For example, a U9 player can guest for U11, but not for U13 or older.

Guesting Up or Down by Level

A player cannot guest down from a higher-level team in the same age group.

Examples:

• A “D1-A” player cannot play for a “D2-B” or “D3-C” team

• A “D2-B” player can go up to “D1-A” but not down to “D3-C”

• A “D3-C” player can play up for “D2-B” or “D1-A”

Players from the same club, playing on two different teams in the same division and level, are not permitted to guest for the second team.

Dual Player Registration Clarification

• Players CANNOT be dual registered on two CJSL clubs that are both playing in CJSL

• A player CAN be dual registered if one team plays in a higher-level league such as EDP

Example: If Team A (CJSL team) is playing in CJSL and Team B (also a CJSL team) is playing in EDP, a player may be registered to both teams. However, for State Cup, the player must choose one team only—they may not compete for both.
