The release process from your current soccer club typically begins with settling all outstanding fees owed to the club. In some cases, if you have a conversation with the coach or Director of Coaching (DOC), they may be able to waive certain requirements or offer some flexibility.
Next, you’ll need to obtain an official release form. Both the parent and the releasing club will need to complete and sign this form, which helps protect your new club from accusations of illegal recruitment or interference. Depending on your club’s policy, you may or may not need to return the player's pass, so it's important to clarify that detail with the club.
If you’re uncertain about any part of the process, it’s always a good idea to reach out to Georgia Soccer for guidance or to clarify any additional steps that might be necessary.
