MODIFIED PLAYER PLACEMENT
The modified player placement rule was originally instituted in the NECSL to allow clubs to place players in the appropriate age group based on that player's development (late developers). For the spring season, the Modified Player option will continue, but a team will only be allowed to have three (3) "late developers/modified players" per team. If there are more than three modified players on a team, that team will need to play in the age group of the modified players. The Modified Player Placement form for Spring 2025 will be shared with clubs on Wednesday, February 5, 2025.
