    If you're losing to the bottom dewellers then may be you are actually the bottom dweller. Just saying.

Otherwise when a player's team has no more games to play what else would you call that other than over or finished, the season is no more, it ceases to be the season, it is expired, the season has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible, it is an ex-season

      Or do you count the team party too?
      So you suggest they keep track of when every team is eliminated? you are an idiot.

        Here in lies the rub....girls (and boys for that matter) make the DA team and immediately think they are elite level and are on their way. Reality is that most teams have a few elite players, several good players, some functional adequate players, and a couple fill in bodies.

        I suspect most florida teams are in this same boat. Always, the players in the lower end of the spectrum feel slighted on playing time and start to become disenfranchised. Reality is...they should feel happy to be there in the first place or just play on a lower level team and give somebody less entitled feeling a chance at their spot.

          Prior to my daughter signing the DA form, she READ IT and it stated that she had to check off one of two boxes.

          1. Play HS and sit out of DA for a period of time
          2. Not Play HS and play a full DA season

          She made her decision and that was that. That was the time for the coaching staff to evaluate who they would have available during HS season and who would have to step in to cover. So those that checked off #2 should hold true to their commitment. Mommy and Daddy are not doing them any favors (Especially at this age) by allowing them to go back on their commitments.

          So all the BS chatter back and forth between folks here is stupid. Which box did your child check off? Hold to it. Simple.
          To say the first year of DA has been a cluster**** for WFF is an understatement.
          All of this confusion is a direct result of spineless, gutless leadership at the club.
          They created this drama, not the players, not the parents. The responsible party needs to own this dumpster fire.

            So your daughter has never faced adversity before? Land the helicopter and let her deal with some. Who says HS will provide her fun?

                Let's see. She plays for WFF and is looking to HS ball for enjoyment, so probably a Newsome student. This means she's from Fishhawk (or one of the surrounding subdivisions like River Hills) so little Mia probably feels entitled to everything. If she's at Newsome who's to say she even makes the team? They are stacked every year with ECNL and now GDA players. Sounds like playing time could be an issue at HS too.

                  In all fairness
                  Let us not forget the said form originaly stated birth year 03s were not allowed to play school sports. So there was no option for them to check at that time. Later the decision was changed and they were permitted to play. However, no revised form was ever forth comming nor were any inquiries made by the club on the subject at that point.

                    Why would the club have to keep track? Wouldn't the player know when their team's season is over? Wouldn't the club want this player and others playing HS back as soon as they are available again instead making them wait to return for no reason?

                    Simple process. Player calls, text, or emails their coach. "My team lost we are done." Coach/Club, "Ok, I will see you at our next practice."

                    You are free to use this for the club procedure

                      This is spot on. The lack of communication between club coaches and their players also plays a big part into this. Very few have conversations with their players. Maybe some arbituary date for a player evaluation, but why no t talk to any all ton a regular basis.

                        So at every game, every player from each time would need to be verified to be eligible?

                          Or you do what real GDA clubs do like TH, OC & Concorde & don't allow HS soccer at all, period.
                          No vagueness, no guessing & no drama.
                          No silly forms at tryouts, no parent meetings during HS tryout weeks.
                          You are either in DA or you are out, no HS soccer allowed.
                          Notice there is not any Knots Landing type of girl drama at those clubs about HS.
                          The director set the tone from the beginning & had a backbone.

                            Why? The club has what 60 to 70 DA players let's say 20 are playing HS at 10 or 15 different schools. So that is all they would be deeling with.

                            More importantly if a player' team season was over why would that have to be kept track of in the first place? Why would the player lie about that? Then lastly and something you still have not answered why does the club want to hold any player out longer than they have to?

                              To allow the GDA faithful girls that didn't play H.S. more games to play more minutes.

                                How are those playing HS unfaithful when it was the club who gave them permission in the first place?
