I would not be surprised to find some turnover on the day high school tryouts start.

How so? Please elaborate. Every girl knew they can't play high school soccer going into DA so why would they change their mind once HS season starts ?

Soccer parents have two catagories of emotions. Happy or Unhappy. If you are Happy then just wait until after your next game. And you will then switch places with the unhappy parents.

I have heard nothing but positive from many of the non-ECNL DA clubs especially from ex-Blues, Slammers, and West Coast players parents. I think these parents have finally seen what training is rather than the best girls joining a team and the coach watching them scrimmage all practice.

Every girl that starts high school this fall can play high school soccer. DA season stops before Thanksgiving and starts again in late January. You basically won't be able to play DA during February if you play high school soccer in So Cal. You'll also probably miss the DA winter showcase. That's the rule for U-15 and up.

If they are not getting playing time, not enjoying the rigor, regretting the move, then I can see this.

So the DA team would play without the players who chose to play high school for 6-ish games. They will also likely miss DA practices. I don't see that going over well with the DA coaches. Do you?

If the players are at the top end of the DA roster then the team won't want to play without them. If they are at the bottom end, then they risk being cut from the team in favor of a more eager DPL player. I don't see players taking a break from their DA team to play HS (at least not expecting a welcome return).

This is where I have also seen the happiest parents - the Legends and other former non ECNL crowd.
I do have to say kudos to them for embracing this. I have been highly impressed with the social media etc it's been very cool

It looks like GDA changed their position on HS soccer. This is from the GDA FAQ link (U.S. Soccer Development Academy):

The Academy provides the appropriate game to rest ratio and players will not be allowed to play simultaneously in the Academy and in outside competition, e.g. scholastic soccer. The Academy will maintain a 10-month program schedule to provide players with the optimal everyday environment.

I am not a lawyer, but it appears that HS soccer (i.e scholastic soccer) is no longer allowed.

That has always been the ussda position however you can get a wavier and apply to play in HS but just not simultaneously. If granted and your club agrees after HS season is over players apply for reinstatement.

The leave occurs prior to the start of the HS league and continues until that season is over.

"With the permission of their Academy club, the program will initially allow players that have begun high school in 2017-
18 or prior to the start of the Girls’ Development Academy, to complete the remainder of their high school career if they so choose. If a player chooses to play high school soccer she will not be allowed to play with a Girls’ Development Academy club during that portion of the Academy’s 10-month season. U.S. Soccer expects that clubs manage a player’s desire to
participate in high school soccer on a case by case basis based on what’s best for the development of that player.

Beginning with the 2021-22 season, participation in high school soccer will not be permitted."

I feel like that was a little unclear from the get go. My DD decided not to even tryout for DA because she wants to play in high school and we kept hearing that it would not be allowed if she played DA. Oh well, live and learn!

And you can see the clubs granting this permission?
 
I haven't heard of one DA player even attempting to play HS. Most don't want it, and the others know it likely wouldn't be wise.

Disagree that D2/DPL will not be showcased.

My DD DPL, received several letters from College Coaches at Surf Cup this past summer. Silverlakes and Vegas should allow for more opportunity. I guess only time will tell!

You're DD received letters from college coaches? Is your DD an 03?

Yes, some clubs.

I'm not sure why it would be so controversial. Clubs have developmental players in ECNL that play on occasion that may never practice with the team. Clubs will have developmental players in DA. In this case, it will just be rostered players that are out of DA for about a month of league games. Clubs seem to always make accommodations for kids that they want.

MAP you are next level. I sometimes think I'm on that level but then you just do some old school mafia type stuff that makes me think I'm close but I really really need to apply myself and one day hopefully I get there also.
