I didn't understand the part about pros getting their amateur status back. I thought that was like getting your virginity back but I guess not. Thanks Ryan.

Nobody from Man U was dropping $30 million to start a club back when England was laying its roots - between your club's story and the piece over on Pitch Invasion about the youth system (in yesterday's Daily Dose), it's refreshing to see some people are putting soccer in this country on the right track (some, but sadly not all.) I'll be pulling for Queen City until the day you (hopefully) come up against my DEFENDING CHAMPION Revs. Hats off to you and your club, Ryan.

They are all amateur. and retain that status. If a player was a Pro, he can reinstate his amateur status and play, but NO ONE can be paid. You cannot pay players in the NPSL.

Can you clear up something I read about former professionals playing on NPSL teams? Is there a rule that says you can't pay players (even like $50-100 per game) in the NPSL? Could you pay some players and not others and have a mix of amateur and professional players? I wasn't clear on that from the reading I was able to do on Big Soccer forums and on NPSL's website.
