Re: Question re: changing clubs
If you trying out for a NTX registered team(LHGCL/PPL/APL) then after your team/age group is done w state cup. Thus mid May.
If you are trying out for an 07 or above ECNL, then I have heard a handshake agreement for May 1 for outside current club. ECNL is US Club so NTX(USYS) rules don't apply. Though I've heard Sting is already looking outside.
So its clear as mud. Someone else like DTX can provide more details than I, Im sure.

Re: Question re: changing clubs
If you are currently on a team registered through NTSSA (this would typically be a team playing in LHGCL, PPL, or APL), then the day after State Cup ends, you are allowed to practice and guest play (with some restrictions) with another NTSSA registered team.
If you are on an NTSSA registered team, but truly unhappy, you can got to NTSSA and request a "release to rec" before April 1st. This will allow your kid to practice with other NTSSA teams, and guest play in tournaments anytime (with some restrictions), but you will not be able to play in any league matches until after July 1st.
If your kid is currently on an ECNL team, my understanding is that the ECNL clubs have a gentleman's agreement that they will not allow kids from other ECNL teams to practice/tryout until after May 1st. Some ECNL clubs may hold "internal" tryouts prior to May 1st, but most wait until May 1st.
There are no rules that prohibit an '08 from playing up on an '07 ECNL team, provided your '08 is good enough to make an '07 ECNL squad and warrant playing time.

Which could be true. If your kid is playing in LH, thus registered w NTX(USYS)... sure. NPL is USClub so different organization. I would make sure your coach knows as they often get registered with both. A big surprise when your LH team tries to register the girl might not end positively.
My kid will play ECNL, thus would not be able to do what they say since ECNL is US Club.

She should probably clarify when that question is asked.

Technically yes. Actually doing so could prove to be a challenge.
If LH to LH, wait until state cup is over. Dont want to break rules, most coaches won't allow it cause they could get in trouble as well.

Beware that even though you are free to practice elsewhere after the StateCup/League ending date, you must get a guest play release for tournaments from current coach through June. Depending on relationship with coach and club policies (some do not sign guest releases), the right move is total freedom with the "release to rec" by April 1.

That's not exactly correct either. Both allow for "player pass", which means a player can participate with other teams within the same club. They handle it a bit differently, but it's allowed under both governing bodies.
The "gray area" is playing or participating with a different club than the one your player registered with initially. You can go from an NTSSA club to a different club under US Club without restriction, but you can't go from a US Club club to an NTSSA club. NTSSA bylaws restrict a club or team from participating in soccer activities with any player not considered a "free agent". A player rostered to another team is not considered a "free agent" under NTSSA rules. US Club does not have the same restriction. It get really muddy when you talk about a club with teams (not necessarily the same team) under US Club and NTSSA. I don't know if NTSSA would try to enforce NTSSA rules on a coach/player/team rostered under US Club, but not NTSSA, if the club has other teams rostered under NTSSA.
To answer the original poster directly, you can't do it without your current coach's permission until after State Cup or you league play, whichever is later, has concluded since you are going from one NTSSA club to another NTSSA club.

Re: Question re: changing clubs
The period of August 1 of the prior soccer year through completion of State Cup competition for their age group, whether or not their team is participating in State Cup, or completion of league play for their team, whichever is last of the current soccer year is considered the soccer-playing year for competitive players.
