2025-2026 - BCLA / PCFLL - Request to Play Down a Division

PROCEDURES FOR PLAYERS PLAYING DOWN A DIVISION
Requests must be submitted by September 15 of the current year
GUIDELINES
All players should register and play in the division and tier according to their birth date. However some circumstances make it very difficult for this to occur and exceptions can be made providing the proper steps are followed.

The only exceptions are based on size, skill level, and any disabilities.

Under no circumstances will a player be given permission to play down on a tier 1 team except when that is the only team available in that division for that association.

Any player approved to play down is not allowed to be called up to any team in the division they were aged down from.
EXAMPLE:
A U18, U15 OR U13 aged player cannot play down on a U15, U13 OR U11 Tier 1 Team.
All requests to play down a division will require the Request for Player Movement form to be completed in full and submitted to the appropriate Commission Executive for approval.

All requests must be submitted by the Association president or their designate and will be reviewed, assessed & approved or declined by the Commission Executive.

If approved, copies of documentation must be forwarded to the Field Directorate Registrar Vice Chair of Youth Field or Vice Chair of Women's Field.
