Accordingly, VYSA will not process a transfer of a player from one club\/team to another during the seasonal year if that player is not current on his or her financial obligations, provided that <strong>(1)<\/strong> the financial obligation is set forth in writing and acknowledged by the player\u2019s family, and <strong>(2) <\/strong>the obligation is for the current seasonal year. For purposes of this policy, any written financial obligation signed by the player\u2019s family will be sufficient, including a financial obligation set forth in an electronic registration document and acknowledged electronically at the time of registration. This policy does not apply to a player who changes clubs or teams between seasonal years. In the event that a club or team objects to a transfer by a player during or between seasons due to failure to make required payments, the club or team must, within three business days of the transfer request, submit to the VYSA office an email to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:registrar@vysa.com\">registrar@vysa.com<\/a>&nbsp;objecting to the transfer. Documentation of the financial agreement supporting the request must &nbsp;be submitted with the email.&nbsp;Failure to notify VYSA, could result in VYSA approving the release of the player. VYSA will notify the family that the transfer is being held until payment is made. A club or team must notify VYSA immediately upon payment (within two business days) to release the transfer request. In the event that VYSA determines a club or team has placed a hold on a transfer in bad faith, the club or team may be sanctioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Involuntary Release of Player for Failure to Meet Financial Obligations<\/strong>: If a player fails to meet his or her financial obligations pursuant to a written obligation, a club or team may involuntarily release the player at any time during the seasonal year, provided that the team has followed the process as outlined in the VYSA Travel Team Registration Manual (5.27). If you have any questions, please ask your registrar for assistance; or contact the VYSA State Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-theme-primary-color has-text-color\" id=\"gameday-procedure\">Permission to Travel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Permission to Travel: <\/strong>Teams requesting permission to travel outside of East Region will need to complete and submit a Permission to Travel Form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsengine-develop.go-vip.net\/vysa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/170\/2023\/11\/VYSA-Permission-to-Travel-Fillable.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Permission to Travel Form here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once completed, email the form to <a href=\"mailto:Kristen@vysa.com\">Kristen@vysa.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Please make sure to download and print a copy of your official roster and player passes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guest Playing Outside of Virginia: <\/strong>Players wanting to guest play with a team out of VA, or an out of state player wanting to guest play with a VA team&nbsp;<strong>MUST<\/strong>&nbsp;complete an&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dt5602vnjxv0c.cloudfront.net\/portals\/27433\/docs\/admin%20forms\/2010_national_us_youth_soccer_interstate_release_form%2014.doc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interstate Permission Form<\/a><\/strong>, which requires both State Associations&nbsp;to approve before the player may play.
