Now that US Soccer not running are the players allowed to play HS Soccer or is it same rules? Also what age does the league actually start and are they combined age groups?

They are allowed to play HS Soccer. Seems like a nice league, likely at par with the ECNL other than at the top. -

Just checked and it looks like the older teams are playing, so I am not sure how they would play HS soccer. Seems like a dumb move, especially here in NJ where most kids want to play HS soccer.Comment

Right now the high school age players are trying to navigate GA and high school but also college one day clinics. Many of these players lost out in the Spring/Summer Nd that is what will take precedent this fall and Spring. Clubs will support those players when it comes to college clinics.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You simply can't do both. Physically and mentally it's too much. There's always conflicts = more stress. Some states don't' even all ow it or greatly restrict it. The old DA rule of no HS was controversial but it was there for a good reason. Even when they allowed private school kids to play HS, they weren't allowed to do DA in the HS season. This wishy washy approach won't work - either ban HS altogether or don't try to do a 10 month season that won't happen. Notice the fall NE schedule is very light? Because clubs are struggling with the numbers.Comment

Any HS or Club coach that is allowing both is insane. Same with kids.
The games seem to “pause “ in line with Most if the Current HS schedule, but there are a handful of conflicts.Comment

You are all over thinking it.
If you want to play HS, go ahead. Come back after the HS season. If you don't want to, stay with the Club and keep playing. If the Club doesn't have enough players for games, they will play games after (i.e. as ECNL does).
Some years, maybe playing HS is the right move. Not sure about this year as HS is going to be a shell of itself across the league footprint, but that will vary by state.Comment

That doesn't seem like a well thought out plan.Comment

[QUOTE=Unregistered;2838227]How so? Lots of players want to keep playing for their club vs. high school, so this gives them an avenue to play. We were asked our plans up front with expectations so they could structure the roster/season accordingly. This satisfies both situations. Even the schedule was set up to accommodate a busy fall with limited travel until the Spring.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
It's unusual, so I understand why it's considered "not well thought out", but in practicality and implementation, it's quite well done.Comment

Same substitution rules?
Did they keep substitution rule in?Comment

No. You can return to play in a different half. There's a limit on # of substitution events (can't recall what they are...3? not including the half??)Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

5 subs total for game, doesn't include if you change the line up at half.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
-
Max of 7 subs per half
No re-entry per half
Each team has 5 total moments to make substitutions. Not more than 3 a halfComment

They went with the same sub rules as ECNL I believe.

Not sure where your getting this.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
This is the official sub rules for GA.
40 minute halves
10 minute half time
5 sub moments across the game
3 sub moments max in a respective half (Once your subbed out in a half, you are OUT. You can return 2nd half or the overtime period.)Comment
