MLS clubs don't want U13 but they probably also don't want to split U17s - the combined age group is good for the better players. MLS is holding a lot of good cards right now.
They've been testing U13 GDA in another region and no doubt think it's a way to try and keep girls from going ECNL once HS hits.

I know DA & GDA players can't play HS soccer, but can they play other HS sports such as hockey or basketball if their schedules allow?

I saw it this year locally with one player playing football.

Their intent isn't to stop outside Club activity, but to control the soccer "education"

^ any other sport is ok EXCEPT soccer. Problem is with varsity sports usually being 5-6 days a week and DA 5 days a week you're running on empty in terms of energy and time. There are also conflicts and coaches from either team won't be too happy when you miss something for the other sport. A few kids play another sport but it's rare. USSF wants committed soccer players, not multi sport athletes.
