Girls basketball is a winter sports & track in the spring so yes that could be manageable with DA. Going to have to be very good with time management & priorities but that's part of growing up and should help later in life.
The league games should be fine but might not make all the practices between the sports but 3 out of the 4 days in one or the other is normally ok but of course depends so ever situation is unique.
As far as I know no club dictates what players do outside of soccer at school or there free time.
I am curious to know-- are athletic scholarships from private schools allowed? Thanks for info.
They aren't, technically, but during the years when my youngsters were excelling in high school sports, we had 2 separate private school soccer coaches suggest that accommodations could be made if we found the cost of attending their school to be too high. Supposedly scholarships are based on need, which some might interpret as "we need your kid on our soccer team".
This topic has been discussed here (or in the predecessor websites) before and some people get really sensitive about it, which makes me wonder whether they are trying to hide something or are just offended that they didn't get the offers.
PE is lame and it’s primarily full of non athletes. There’s a thing about being in 6th period sports. But it’s my district. My kid has been stuck in PE and just accepts it. Will be better when that is out of the picture down the road.

If you get a scholarship to a private school and get a waiver approved before league starts but what most people do not realize is you are not allowed to play with DA for the remainder of the season. So once HS soccer is finished you can not go back and play Feb thru June with DA.
Academy Players currently registered with an DA Club
have committed to forgo participating
in both the Academy and high school or middle school soccer.
a)Players who participate in high/middle school soccer are ineligible to participate in
Academy practice and competition during that same season.
b)Only players who have been granted a waiver by the League Office will be allowed to
remain on their clubs Academy roster during the high school soccer season(waivers
are not available for middle school)
. This waiver must be received by DA office before
September 1, 2018, to be considered for the roster exemption. The waiver eligibility
guidelines are as follows:
(1)Players who receive consideration or financial aid to attend a private high
school based on their participation with the soccer team are eligible
(2)Although clubs are not limited to a specific number of waivers, the number is
naturally self-limiting to field a full team throughout the Academy season.
(3)Players registered with a Development DA Club will not be allowed to re-enter
the program during the same season after participating in the high schoolseason with their current or a different DA Club
.
That just seems to be coercive and vindictive.

On the USSDA Website under resources, then Academy operations, rules and regulations as well as other interesting information is there.
Yes, there are some DA clubs that say no other outside sports (not volleyball, not track, not softball, nothing) and yes I imagine some players keep it a secret from the club if they do play high school sports otherwise they would have problems with the club
