I bet I can guess what club and who in one try
By the way, we left because the hour ride home was really long with our dd in tears the entire way! It was a bit difficult to swollow the monetary loss, but now we are saving $ by not having to commute 2 hours to each practice. We've paid all club fees, team fees, volunteer fees, fundraising fees, etc. The club cannot deny us a request to transfer based on financials.
So, I pose the question, why might a transfer be denied? Why would any coach want to deny a child from continuing development at their appropriate level and position?

I just had a friend forward this to me. In LA Galaxy SD's DA FAQ's, they say the following:
"Q. Can players play high school or in outside competition?
A. Players can play in high school, however if they play in high school they will be excluded from DA events, regular season games and training during the high school season."
Is this possible and are clubs/players really going to be able to do this. Anyone heard this from their own DOC or coach? We were told that DA means no HS or outside sport, period! Just curious, because that is the biggest concern most players have when deciding between DA vs. staying with ECNL.

USSF Development Regulations say this:
"5. Academy Players currently registered with an Academy Club have committed to forgoparticipating in both the Academy and high school soccer. Players who participate in high school soccerare ineligible to participate in Academy practice and competition during that same season. Only playerswho have been granted a waiver by the League Office will be allowed to remain on their clubs Academyroster during the high school soccer season. This waiver must be requested before September 4, 2015 tobe considered for the roster exemption.
Players registered with a Development Academy 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 Academy Club."
I know of a few ECNL players who have transferred mid-season. If you are NOT a headache parent, leave in good terms, and both DOC's approve the transfer it can happen.We heard this straight out of the Carlsbad's DoC's mouth.
We've invested tons of money towards ECNL, only to be lied to by the coach. Now, her DoC is trying his best to keep our dd from playing, citing that transfers can only be approved if you have relocated. I urge everyone to understand the commitment that they are making to ECNL and read the rules (they were posted a few weeks ago, not very helpful for our situation). However, if your dd is ECNL, she can't even step on a tryout field for a club that is both Academy and ECNL except during a two month ECNL approved window!
I can only say from my experience in ECNL, it's also a big pissing match. We had looked to leave a club and were reminded, "very heavy handedly" that our release date was May 1. I agree, everyone should be thinking of the players best fit, but the clubs and coaches are more concerned about the bottom line and reputation. Sounds like your situation is not very pretty. I wish your DD the best in her future soccer club and career. Sorry you lost $$, but having your kiddo be happy and thriving, priceless.

Your coach, DOC or both are just being a jerk!Thanks! So they are full of s***!
Coach is the DoC! You have no idea what a jerk he has been! We very nicely told him that our daughter was not happy and our intentions to leave. He responded with a nasty e-mail! This will all be shared soon, as this DoC lied to our face repeatedly and his e-mail to us proves it!Your coach, DOC or both are just being a jerk!
Thank you!If you are wanting to move to a DA club that is not ECNL currently, you are free. However, moving from ECNL to ECNL requires you to wait till May 1.
And when you are wanting to leave a club, you are usually upset! We took great care to communicate nicely! #dumbfounded #DoCtobenamedI know of a few ECNL players who have transferred mid-season.

That sucks, because the coach is taking it personal and punishing your DD.And when you are wanting to leave a club, you are usually upset! We took great care to communicate nicely! #dumbfounded #DoCtobenamed
