Player registrations open – Maximum squad size
Player registrations are open. We recommend you get your players added and submitted to the league as soon as possible. We are anticipating close to 20,000 player registrations this year so the system is likely to be very busy the closer we get to deadlines (See July 24th deadline message above). Please don’t leave it until the last minute.

Every YEL team needs to have the minimum number of players registered on Club portal by midnight July 24th

IMPORTANT 1 – minimum number of players
U7/U8 – 5 players (for teams looking to be included from Sept – the first of three pre-Christmas intakes)
U9/U10 – 7 players
U11/U12 – 9 players
U13/U14 – 11 players

IMPORTANT 2 – maximum squad size
Reminder: As per YEL Rules/Regulations voted in by the member clubs, the MAXIMUM number of players that can be registered for each squad is as follows:
U7/U8 – unlimited
U9/U10 – 14 players
U11/U12 – 18 players
U13/U14 – 22 players

IMPORTANT 3 – dual registration of players
U9-U14 Players cannot be registered to more than one YEL teams in the same age group on the same day. If any club/team is found doing this, the player’s registration will be cancelled for both/all teams and a fine issued for failing to follow a management instruction.

Please adhere to these rules BEFORE you agree to sign players on as it will be enforced and will only lead to potential disappointment and frustration if not followed.

Any issues with player registrations, please contact finance@yelonline.com

Photo quality for player registrations 
Can all those submitting player registrations please ensure they submit a head and shoulders image similar to the one on the left – fill the space (the image on the right is too small/in the distance and will be rejected).

Make sure you get the images for new players taken before they finish school.
