2.15. UNREGISTERED / NON-SANCTIONED PLAY

                Players or teams who participate with unregistered players or engage in
                unsanctioned play shall have no benefits of membership in both the Lubbock
                Soccer Association and the North Texas State Soccer Association, including
                but not limited to risk management, disciplinary or insurance protection, while
                playing with unregistered players or in unsanctioned play. Such players and
                teams must certify in writing to the NTSSA Youth Commissioner the nature of
                any disciplinary actions or injuries sustained while playing unsanctioned play
                before resuming play in sanctioned activities.

                Unsanctioned play shall include, but not be limited to playing with other
                members of a player’s LSA team in outdoor / indoor leagues, tournaments,
                and games not sanctioned by NTSSA or another USSF affiliate. This shall not
                be construed to prevent any individual player from participating with school or
                church teams, or neighborhood unsupervised games.
