Must be painful for parents who's kids academic success is hinged on missing 4 days of school.
Actually, some colleges make accommodations for their athletes.Totally hear you...but at the end of the day it comes down to whatever works for US Soccer. It’s better that these young athletes get used to how the real world works. When they get to College they will have road trips/away games during exams and finals. Mommy and Daddy won’t be there to talk to their instructors about academic overload.
Someday they will go out in the work force and realize that the world doesn’t evolve around them. Parents still have options...they can opt out of DA, play high school, play DPL or another League, and take there chances at a college ID camp. I bet every kid at the DA Showcase is there with with the blessing of their schools and Parents.
