Hollandia Soccer Club

Permission to Play Out of Zone

Youth soccer (U11-U19) in Saskatoon is divided into five zones, each with geographic boundaries. Players are bound to register with a zone based on their primary residence. For more information about Hollandia’s boundaries, visit our Zone Info page.

To facilitate players who may not wish to play with their home zone, Saskatoon Youth Soccer has a Permission to Play Out of Zone (or PTPOZ) process that must be followed, and is outlined below.

Process

Players must request a transfer for each season they wish to play out of zone. Having a transfer in one season does not guarantee you a transfer for the next season.

PTPOZ requests are dealt with between the player’s home zone and desired zone, once they have been received by the SYSI office. Players will be notified within six days after the submission deadline (noted at the top of the form each season) by their home zone whether their transfer was approved.

Below are some common scenarios to assist you with understanding the steps you’ll need to follow.

I reside in another zone, but want to play with Hollandia

  1. Register with your home zone.
  2. Register with Hollandia.
  3. Complete the Permission to Play Out of Zone form on the SYSI website
  4. Inquire with your home zone as to whether you need to attend evaluations. Hollandia strongly recommends that you attend evaluations for your home zone as it will help ensure proper placement in your home zone should your request be denied.
  5. Attend Hollandia’s evaluations.

Once you are informed of the committee’s decision by your home zone, the zone in which you will not be playing will reimburse you any fees paid and will remove you from their registration records for the season.
