Section C – Club Player Pass Policies

All players develop at their own rate. Greater flexibility regarding individual player development must be given to clubs in order to ensure that they are able to help all their players reach the level of excellence that the player desires to achieve. 

A Club Player Pass system allows for more realistic and fluid movement of players between teams and levels of play. This fluid movement allows the player to be challenged at the appropriate level based on their current level of development. This movement will help reduce the ‘win at all cost’ team first attitude and put the focus of player development back on the individual player.

Definitions for the purposes of the Club Player Pass System:

Club – Shall mean an organization which sponsors and directs the formation and coaching of soccer teams and players registered with the Oklahoma Soccer Association, and which subscribes to these rules with respect to Club Player Pass.
