yes they are having the club you are leaving destroy the players card.In the past player cards would be given to parents if their child was leaving a club for another club. It appears that Cal South is directing clubs to keep the cards. Has anyone else run into this issue?
Totally agreeWhy hasn’t this been automated yet?
There’s got to be an app that can be created.

They have "always" directed clubs to keep and destroy the cards when a player left for another club. Always. If -- "in the past" you were given your card when you left then your manager (and or registrar, most likely manager) didn't know what they were doing.
In the two clubs I was team manager for the registrar would not approve the Cal South player drop without the card or proof of it being destroyed.
What if you are leaving at end of season? You don't get your player card back then either?
You ask Cal South for a player pass card, which is a non affiliated card. And it is FREE. No money grab. There is a lot of misinformation in this thread.
Disagree. Over regulation is aways bad. Its never necessary and if people skirt the standard rules, then enforce the existing standard, and not create more to pile on.Over regulation is only necessary if people try to skirt around the standard rules.
Its free to the family but there is a transaction cost that is a part of Calsouth expenditure. In other words, why create more adminstrivial for the sake of doing it. I see no harm in giving the card to the player and go on without having to reapply for pass card.
Calsouth can find better use of their budget than to keep track of players leaving current clubs and playing as a guest in summer tournaments. Clear case of over regulation and non-value added policy. The number of players leaving their current club must be significant, as it is the ritual of annual migration....
It doesn't take too much thought for one to imagine lots of reasons why a club or cal south would want it this way. The question that started this thread said "if their child was leaving a club for another club... " It makes sense to me that a player that leaves for another club should not be using the card, and appear affiliated with, or the responsibility of, the club s/he left. The same for a player that simply leaves.None of us may like the process but that is what it is. When a player leaves a club the card and the liability waiver form are to be destroyed. If someone got theirs (like I stated above) it is because the team manager didn't know the rules. Why Cal South does this? I don't know. It would be a good question to ask them. I'm sure they have their reasons whether it be administrative or legal.
http://www.calsouth.com/en/release-transfer/faq-parents/How do you go about getting a player pass card?
Tango is spot on. This has to do with more club insurance. Calsouth makes sure the club releases player and you can get a free player pass in the mail while you look for a new club.
Free and easy and the people at calsouth are helpful. My kids played on this and guested at tourneys as soon as national cup was finished.
Has zero to do with money grab.
