All league rosters are frozen on May 22nd. This roster freeze remains in effect for all Division 1 & 2 teams, Division 3 teams who have automatically qualified for Division 3 2010-2011, Massachusetts State Cup round robin participants, and teams who have qualified for the U11 & U12 tournaments. Rosters for the qualifying tournaments may not have any players on them who are rostered to teams which meet the above criteria.

After midnight on May 23rd  any Division 3 team who does not automatically qualify for the 2010 - 2011 season will have their roster unfrozen. The roster submitted for the tournament is considered a "tournament only" roster. All rosters must be received in the Maple office by June 2nd. All players must have passcards and be affiliated with Mass Youth Soccer. Any out of state players must have a release from their state association to play in Massachusetts. These rosters do not need to be signed by the area registrars.

Teams currently playing in MAPLE who wish to play in the qualifying tournament in order to establish a new club must apply to the MAPLE office for a waiver.  The team must compete with a roster with at least 75% of the players in common with their current league roster.  Any additions must be in accordance with the roster rules outlined above.  Teams who have been automatically disqualified from MAPLE may not exercise this option, although their players are free to join other teams in the qualifying tournament.

The MAPLE office will verify the rosters and reserves the right to question any player they do not regard as legally rostered.
