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 can provide teams to 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).

The NCSA does not require a certain format for the player removal document, nor do they have a sample to provide teams.
