GUEST PLAYERS

Any player who participates with a team that they are not officially rostered with is considered a guest player. All players must be registered players for the 2023 Single Season or 2023-2024 indoor season. Players participating in the U13-U17 Premier, U13-U18 Recreational, or high school boys and girls divisions are allowed to participate on only one (1) team during the Golden Boy Tournament. This means if you are already on a team playing in the tournament, you cannot be a guest player for another team in the tournament. All players participating in the U9-U12 Recreational or Developmental divisions will be allowed to guest on another U9-U12 team in the tournament, but must abide by the below guest player rules in order to be eligible. All U13-U18 Recreational and U13-U17 Premier guest players must complete the Golden Boy Tournament Guest Player Form and be approved by the organizing committee for said player to be eligible to participate with the requesting team. It should be noted that high school boys and girls players cannot guest for another team in the tournament. All non-WYSA players/teams must have proof of their governing association’s permission to be a guest player of the requesting team.

The following rules must be met for all guest players to be considered eligible:

i. All guest players must complete the Golden Boy Tournament Guest Player Form and have it approved by the organizing committee for said player to be eligible to participate with the requesting team.
ii. A maximum of five (5) guest players is allowed per team (similar to WYSA League play).
iii. All guest players must be age eligible to compete with the requesting team.
iv. Teams may have guest players that are the same age/caliber of the requesting team (lateral guesting), but never from an older or higher division.
v. All WYSA League teams may pull from any team within their WYSA District (withstanding i, ii, iii & iv).
vi. Developmental and Premier team players may appear as guests on their own Member Club teams in a division that is higher than their own by virtue of their birth year. For example, a U13PR player can guest on a U14PR team, however a U15PR player cannot guest on a U14PR team.

Failure to abide by the guest player rules below may result in the player being deemed ineligible, which results in the team’s matches being defaulted. If you have any questions regarding eligibility, please contact us immediately. All guest player forms must be submitted to the WYSA Office by February 3, 2024. No guest players shall be added after this date unless approved by the organizing committee.
