Registration Reminder

All CIFA club officials are advised to read the following notice very carefully. Any questions or requests for clarification of any points should be addressed to either Paul Macey on 814-2653 or Kenisha Morgan at the CIFA office.

Registration of Players
As you are aware, we are required by FIFA to specify two registration periods. The registration periods that have been set for the 2003-2004 season are as follows:-

• 1st registration period August 1st 2003 to August 31st 2003
• 2nd registration period January 1st 2004 to January 31st 2004

Each club that intends to participate in the men’s league for the 2003/2004 season will be required to file a team list with the Association by August 15th. Failure to supply such a list will render all players previously registered with that club available for another club of their choosing.

Once a team list has been filed, those players named are protected and cannot move to another club without going through the transfer process as laid down in the competition rules.

In accordance with the current competition rules, a club will be allowed to register a maximum of 25 players over the age of 21 and a further 15 that are under the age of 21 at the time of the registration deadline.

Any player that was previously registered with a club but that has not been included in the team list submitted for the upcoming season is free to play for another club of their choosing. This will not be deemed to be a transfer.

New registration forms will only be required for players that have not previously registered with the Association or players that do nit have a current player ID. A new registration form will however, be required in the event of a transfer situation.

If you fail to provide a list to the CIFA office by close of business on August 15th all of your players will be effectively de-registered and allowed to play for any club of their choosing.

It is in your best interests to ensure that you meet this very important deadline.
