The NECSL are introducing player ID cards for all grass playing games. This coming Thursday the 12th of February all players from U11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 must be in the MDL from 7pm to get their ID photo taken. Each players MUST bring with them a valid Passport or a Birth Cert and five euros to cover the cost of the card. The card will be valid for two years and must be renewed on expiry.
The cards are being bought in to insure all players play with in their age groups. It will insure that players only play at the correct age group and no children too old or two young play in a team they are not eligible for. This is a positive step for all involved in Schoolboy Soccer in the NECSL. From next year all players on grass must have an ID card for the ref to inspect at the start of a game. The cards will be kept by the manager to avoid lost cards, as if a player has not got a card they will not be allowed play.
The company providing the cards to the NECSL are Age of Image they will be in the MDL to get the whole club done so please insure your child is there on time. If you have any questions regarding the cards please ask any member of the club and we will be glad to advice.
