Comments from the PDL Committee Chair - Todd Lincoln

The Club Player Pass is a unique feature to the Player Development League. It focuses on the development cycle of the individual player, allowing for shifts in level of play that match the player’s progress. Ultimately this is most fair for the player, who gets more opportunities to play at the correct level, and not be forced into higher, or lower, level competition without due consideration.

Players may be moved between teams on a club to maximize their potential through play. Players are still rostered to their original team, but are given opportunities for a beneficial experience at other levels of play.

The Club Player Pass is not to be used to bolster the competitive level of multiple teams within a club by sharing the higher achieving players between teams.
