2. Chapter 2: Player Registration and Team Formation

2.7. RECREATIONAL TEAM CONTINUATION

        2.7.1. Coaches and players, constituted as a RECREATIONAL team in the previous
                 season, may remain as a unit provided they meet the league eligibility and
                 age requirements. The minimum number of players remaining on a
                 RECREATIONAL team and forming the nucleus for that team, in order to
                 remain as a team, is:

                 three (3) players for an Under-6 team.
                 five (5) players for an Under-8 team.
                 six (6) players for all other teams.

                 The Lubbock Soccer Association Board of Directors may approve an
                 exception to these restrictions when they determine that doing so is in the
                 best interests of the Association and its youth players.

        2.7.2. A player sitting out one season can return to the player’s former
                 RECREATIONAL team provided space is available. Otherwise, that player will
                 be placed on a RECREATIONAL team in the same manner as any other
                 player in the Association not returning to a team.

        2.7.3. The Lubbock Soccer Association recognizes that certain teams will play
                 outdoor soccer during only one of the various seasons offered each year.
                 Such teams must return the minimum number of players at least once per
                 year in order to continue as a team. Players from that team who register to
                 play outdoor soccer in a season when the team does not participate will be
                 assigned to a new team in accordance with the applicable team formation
                 rules. League Commissioners will insure that the name of these teams will
                 not be assigned to another team in the same League.

        2.7.4 A player signing up after the last scheduled sign up period can return to the
                player's former RECREATIONAL team provided space is available at the time
                the League or Conference Commissioner receives the player's Lubbock
                Soccer Association registration form. Otherwise, that player will be placed on
                a RECREATIONAL team in the same manner as any other player in the
                Association not returning to a team
