There are no player transfers between active junior teams. The regular junior season runs from
September 1 and concludes at the end of the JNC. Once a junior member has committed to a
team/club (signed the Binding Commitment Letter and/or completed the registration process
and paid fees) she/he may not leave that club to represent another club during that season.

Instead of focusing on the role-reversal of parents and children, the new campaign focuses more on how ridiculous some parents sound when they pressure their children at play
