Newbie clarification

OP here. My daughter is only u9. Just curious. She loves soccer (for now at least) but she's very social and I can't imagine her wanting to miss out on playing with her friends at school. Thanks for the info.

Yes that's true. DA studs that go to private schools can get waivers to play HS soccer. But the club and then Ussf has to approve it. As for other sports in theory you can play. But what happens is the athletes will be exhausted and have little time for homework or a life. When conflicts arise - which will be constantly - DA takes priority. So unless you have an understanding hs coach (yeah right) it's just not workable for most.

Number one rule is Ussf doesn't care about hs soccer or multi sport athletes. 100% their soccer their way

USSF doesnt care about much except for the top 2-3 kids per age group in each division. The other 99% of the players are just there to allow them to form teams and collect checks. Those top kids can do whatever they want, whenever they want and neither their DA club coach, DOC, nor USSF has the balls to tell them otherwise.

That is definitely true. But those top players are generally 100% focused on soccer. It's all the other poor bastards that USSF doesn't care about that might like to play HS sports or HS soccer

This is utter nonsense and you do not what you are talking about. Please stop posting here as such. OW and BS are both academy programs on the boys side and neither allows you to play anything once you get to the academy ages for the most part. The same will be true for OW girls next year as they are the only GDA program in the state. Perhaps rec or travel basketball up to about 13 or so, but that is it. You can not play HS soccer without a waiver and even then only for prep schools; the fall seasons for these overlap in CT obviously and no kids can play both in the same season (not by CIAC or Academy rules although prep schools could probably care less since parents pay so much).

For non-DA clubs, FSA allows its ECNL players and other players to do other activities (probably far too many .... especially in the winter at older ages). Attendance for winter practices at FSA is often abysmal even for ECNL teams. The policy at FSA and other places varies by coach and it seems the smaller the club, the more forgiving. As always, the 'enforcability' of any rule is inversely relational to a player's ability; this is true at all clubs (probably most especially at DA clubs).

Wait, you said that I was wrong and then mentioned that it was possible to get a waiver. So which is it? It can be done or it can't?

I never said it wasn't possible but your original post was so off base and silly that this point (that was never in question because you never stated anything remotely close to this) can not help you to save face. Sorry, you don't known what you are talking about so stop posting forever. It was clear you don't know what you were talking about.

add to this: if a player does get a waiver they are not allowed to participate in any DA activity as per USSF rules. So while prep schools don't have the same CIAC restrictions that public schools have, prep school kids who get waivers still can't do DA at the same time.
