DA is mostly off during HS, they just don't put those players on the game day roster until there HS season is over. DA fall in over in Dec for the most part. Players play HS until Feb maybe or March if they make playoffs and return to DA. No problems or conflict with CIF this way. This happens every year by players with DA waviers or not.
False on a couple counts jpeter -- 1) Unless your kid's HS plays in late July, late December or in January, DA is not "off during HS", and 2) Any full time DA player that participates in a HS match is ineligible to participate in another DA match until the following year (PT payers can only play in 12 DA matches if they choose to play HS ... and most clubs don't even allow those kids to play HS).
F. Player Participation in Outside Competitions
Academy Players must meet all attendance and participation requirements under the Development Academy Requirements and for the individual club requirements as well, for training and games for their DA team during the Academy Season. Failure to meet those requirements should result in removal from the DA team.
DA Clubs may not permit any full-time Academy Player to participate on a non-DA team during the Academy Season. The only permissible soccer related reasons to miss Development Academy activities is National Team duty and YNT Identification Center participation.
DA Clubs will be held accountable for the actions of their players.
Academy Players currently registered with a DA Club have committed to forgo participating in both the Academy and high school or middle school soccer.
Players who participate in high/middle school soccer are ineligible to participate in Academy practice and competition during that same season.
Only players who have been granted a waiver by the League Office will be allowed to remain on their club’s Academy roster during the
high school soccer season (waivers are not available for middle school). This waiver must be received by the DA office before September 9, 2019, to be considered for the roster exemption. The waiver eligibility guidelines are as follows:
Players who receive consideration or financial aid to attend a private high school based on their participation with the soccer team are eligible
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.
Full-time players registered with a DA Club will not be allowed to re-enter the program during the same season after participating in the high school season with their current or a different DA Club.
