Norfolk County FA Membership Rule 16 and FA Rule C2(a) cover the regulations under which players may be approached during the playing season. 

The basic principle of the rule is that, if either you want to transfer a player who plays for a team in the same league, or to register a player  who plays for a team on the same match day, then you must put in a 7-day notice of approach to the Secretary at their existing Club. You must not have contact with this player during this period.

If both teams play in the same league once the 7 days has elapsed (or earlier if the existing Club chooses to waive the 7-day notice period) you should then contact the relevant league to initiate the transfer process.

If both teams play in different leagues but on the same match day, once the 7 days has elapsed (or earlier if the existing Club chooses to waive the 7-day notice) you can proceed with your normal registration process (via either the Whole Game System or a paper-based form depending on the league you compete in).

The full process must conclude within 21 days and you cannot approach the same player a second time within the same season. You may also only approach one player at a Club at a time. If you wish to approach a second player at the same club you must wait 28 days from when the first approach was submitted.

The FA has created a practical guide, which it is hoped will provide clubs with the ability to understand and apply the formal regulations in relation to advertising on the clothing of players, club and match officials.

The guide includes imagery depicting how the regulations should be followed in order that clubs interpret and apply them correctly and it can be accessed by clicking here.
