2. Chapter 2: Player Registration and Team Formation

2.6. TEAM FORMATION
           Lubbock Soccer Association may only form teams in accordance with the current
           North Texas State Soccer Association team formation rules. There shall be three
           types or classes of teams within the Lubbock Soccer Association.

        2.6.1. RECREATIONAL teams are formed by an impartial Commissioner’s
                 Committee which assigns players to the team based on the player’s
                 residence.

        2.6.2 RECREATIONAL PLUS teams are formed by any NTSSA RECREATIONAL
                 team formation method with the addition that LSA may consider requests
                 from the players to play together on the same team. Only legal Under 11 and
                 older may be rostered to RECREATIONAL PLUS teams. RECREATIONAL
                 PLUS teams may NOT play in the same league with RECREATION teams.
                 NTSSA allows for dual registration of youth players for the purpose of
                 recreational plus soccer. For a dual registered player, the player's
                 recreational team shall be considered the player's primary team and the
                 recreational plus team shall be considered the player's secondary team.

        2.6.3 YOUTH COED teams may be formed by Lubbock Soccer Association.
                 YOUTH COED teams may only be formed with legal Under 11 and older
                 player. All players assigned to YOUTH COED teams must first be rostered
                 to a single sex team registered with Lubbock Soccer. YOUTH COED teams
                 may be either RECREATIONAL COED or COMPETITIVE COED teams.

        2.6.4. ALL-STAR teams are temporary teams formed by the selection of players
                 from among all the RECREATIONAL teams in a particular league. ALL-STAR
                 teams may be formed only in the Under-12, Under-14, Under-16, and
                 Under-19 Leagues. The formation of an ALL-STAR team requires the approval
                 of the Youth Commissioner.

2.6.5. COMPETITIVE teams are all teams formed in any manner other than those
listed above.
