Operating Policies

 

7/09

 

 

 

GSYSL and EDP have now merged. GSYSL will now be the governing body of EDP.

EDP was established and will continue to work toward the development of young soccer players.

 

Mark Barnard will remain as administrator for the program with the assistance of Brian Goddu, Shawn Menard and Eric Winkler for the upcoming Fall 2009 –Spring 2010 seasons.  At the April 2010 AGM, a new position will be created, the position of VP-EDP will be held along with all other GSYSL elections.

EDP changes under GSYSL:

* EDP "teams" will be registered under their existing Clubs by the Club Registars.
* Registration fee will now be $85.00 per team per season paid to GSYSL.

* GSYSL will not be offering financial aid to EDP players. 
* EDP teams will continue to be listed in the same name format with the added
   designation of _EDP after the coaches initials. i.e. NH_Classics_G_U8_MB_EDP

* Coed Teams will list the team as i.e. NH_Classics_Coed_U8_MB_EDP
* All Coaches will need to register on the GSYSL Web Site as a User.
* All the teams need to be registered by Jan 30 (Spring) & Aug 10 (Fall) which is consistent
    with GSYSL team registration.

* All Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Team Managers and Trainers must be registered on Kid Safe which can be found on www.soccerNH.org

  • EDP will adhere to a 7-8 game Fall Schedule and 7-8 game Spring Schedule with all games being scheduled on Sundays. Reschedules will continue to be managed by the individual EDP coaches as has been done in the past.   No reschedules will be posted on the web.  Coaches are encouraged to schedule as many scrimmages as wanted.
  • EDP divisions will be managed by the GSYSL designated Administrator(s) for  F2009-S2010 and thereafter by the elected VP (or Co-Directors) of EDP
  • Rosters will now be required for ALL EDP Teams. Player cards will be required for all EDP players. Coaches will be responsible for checking the player passes of opposing teams. Clubs are encouraged to mix up their teams if desired.  This hopefully will lead to more balanced games.  Coaches should contact each other to discuss the strength or weakness of their team.  It is better to cancel a lopsided contest and look for a different team to play. The purpose of the roster will be to ensure your players are registered with GSYSL and Insured through the state.  GSYSL will not be checking team rosters at games.
  • EDP Registration Fees will be paid to GSYSL
  • All NHSA Fees can be paid to GSYSL by separate check payable to NHSA or directly to NHSA.   NO Rosters will be approved until all fees (including NHSA) have been paid.  All fees MUST be paid prior to schedule release.
  • All clubs registering teams for EDP MUST ADHERE to the EDP Format for play listed on the web site Policies Page under EDP Playing Format.  Any team(s) which does not adhere to the EDP Playing Format will be subject to a Game Fine as listed below* and possible disciplinary action.
  • EDP coaches will be bound by GSYSL rules regarding the recruiting of players.
  • EDP coaches will fall under the GSYSL “Coaches Code of Conduct”.
  • The EDP Jamborees currently scheduled (Bedford – pre spring season) and Hampstead (Halloween fall season) will be continued as sanctioned under GSYSL.
  • Additional games or scrimmages will continue to be arranged by EDP coaches.  All additional games will follow the game format of play listed on the website Policies Page under EDP Playing Format.
