Youth Soccer (USYS), North Texas State Soccer Association (NTSSA), and Lake
Highlands Girls Classic League (LHGCL) administrative and playing rules apply
unless otherwise noted herein. Teams are responsible for knowing the LHGCL and
NTSSA rules. Every team should have a copy of the current NTSSA Administrative
Rule Book. (Call 972/323-1323 for information on obtaining a copy.)
A. Home

registers is that team’s Home Association. Each team shall register through its
home association and shall deliver its approved roster to the appropriate LHGCL
Age-Group Commissioner, President, or Executive Director at the general meeting
prior to the season, or at such other time as directed by LHGCL.
B. Receipt
of Paperwork by LHGCL: All required online registration must be
completed and all other registration paperwork and fees must be properly
received by the LHGCL Age Division Commissioner, President or Executive
Director before a team will be allowed to play in its first season game.
Paperwork is deemed “received” or “delivered” when it is in the actual
possession of the Age Division Commissioner, President, or Executive Director.
Phone calls or “in the mail” are not acceptable. Failure to comply with league registration deadlines (with
online registration, other registration paperwork requirements or the payment
of fees) will result in a $200 fine, plus $50 a day for each day such delinquency
continues after the first day.
C. Registration
of Players Required: No team will be allowed to play a player in
any regular season game who has not been properly registered to that team, and
a copy of all appropriate paperwork delivered to the LHGCL Age Division
Commissioner, President, or Executive Director. All player
transfers must be approved by the NTSSA Competitive Soccer Committee or NTSSA
Executive Committee. (See NTSSA Rule 3.10.7)
