Please ensure that all players, officials and coaches, both senior and junior, are registered on the ELA database. This should be done by each new player before even the first training session for the individual to be properly insured. www.englishlacrosse.co.uk
Inter Club transfers are allowed under the SEMLA byelaws before the day of the first league game simply by changing the registration on the ELA database.
Transfers after the date of the first league game of the season must follow the prescribed process using the Player Transfer Form.
Any player transferring Clubs must ensure that he has paid all outstanding debts to his former club. If he has not, then the former club can apply for an immediate prohibition on his playing for the new club. If such a player were to play for his new club before the situation was resolved, he would risk the new club being penalised which may include the loss of league points.
