The NCSA Roster Freeze is April 1st.  After that date, no players can be added to NCSA rosters.  It is essential for teams to go online to the NCSA website and confirm their rosters are accurate since there are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule.

Teams are encouraged to go the TEAMS page, find their team, then select “Team Roster.” This is their official team roster.  Teams should check, then double check that all players are listed that should be listed.  Since the roster removal period has ended, no players can be removed, but players can be added up until their roster has reached 25 players or April 1st has passed.

Any questions can be directed to Alec Verhoff.

The NCSA allows teams to remove up to 8 players from their roster for any reason during the week-long period of February 21-28.  This provides teams the opportunity for more roster flexibility for the spring portion of the season. Teams do NOT need to remove players if they do not wish to.  Again, this is simply an opportunity for teams to gain more roster spots to add new players if they don’t have the room to otherwise do so.  The roster maximum is 25 players.

If a team does wish to remove players, they must submit a signed document listing the players they would like to remove.  The document needs to be signed by two team officers and their faculty advisor (i.e., Club Sports Director).
