GDA and High School

[Unregistered]

The fact that your school and a few others are getting away with unethical behavior doesn't make it OK. Your mother never accepted that excuse, why should we?

Please post a pic of YOUR mug when your school's ringer-stacked team goes down in the playoffs to a team with an honest roster.

They might go down to another late GDA ringer-stacked team. It final might end up being like last year when the GDA players were ordinary players.

Why didn't U. S. Soccer Girls DA make a rule that no GDA player can play high school soccer during the short winter rest period after the Showcase? It is like USS DA wants the girls to go play high school for a month.

We only have about nine teams to play in our district. Our school has played the district games and those teams who have GDA players walking on now will be a surprise to many schools when they meet up at the playoffs. Many schools play up to 25 games in their regular season to play other teams, high school tournaments for fun and so on but the district playoffs are what matter starting January 22. It is not fair to bring in ringers for the playoffs, and every coach should check the validity of the rosters of their opponents. The Florida high school athletic association must address every single complaint and the school must be able to prove its players did play in 10 regular season games to be eligible for the playoffs. Of course their name written on the roster and them sitting on the bench counts, but technically no GDA players were allowed to be on a high school roster until the GDA regular season ended, unless they gave up GDA and played the entire high school season like U.S.Soccer intended the exception to be. U.S. Soccer did not ever think their GDA players would be trying to jump on high school teams for a month during the GDA recovery/holiday break.

You idiots keep calling them ringers. They are not. They probably wont even make a difference in the outcomes of the finals. Most if not all of them are returning players who where either ECNL last or NPL who played HS previous years. Instead of worrying about important things, you are on TS b!tching about this. Pathetic.

Because they don't care what happens outside of the DA season. No one does outside of a few lunatics like you.

Wow, you are really afraid of having your shenanigans discovered. Otherwise you wouldn't be on here saying the ringers don't matter and this issue isn't important.

GDA players joining the team late in the season fit the exact definition of a ringer. I don't know why you are denying that. They are not "returning players" if they never set foot on the field this season until now.

Ok, GDA Daddy. Please tell us what your precious snowflake plans to do if her HS team makes a deep run in the post season and the playoffs overlap with her GDA schedule.

I'm guessing the "lunatics" at USSF might care if she blows off her academy responsibilities for a few weeks to play for her school. She won't care, of course, since you taught her she can do whatever she wants and the rules don't apply to her. Way to go, Daddy.

Actually they do care very much. Their first issue arose when they grandfathered in HS, but they didn't have much of a choice. Secondly, HS is played at different times in different parts of the country. As USSF doesn't care about HS they would have no knowledge about this issue in what seems to be just one state, or at most a handful.

GDA players on High School teams making it to the State playoffs would miss as many as 5 GDA games if they stay with their HS teams to the end, risking serious consequences from US Soccer.

Players in this position have to choose between blowing off their commitment to US Soccer or turning their backs on their HS team. If they choose to break the rules and do both it's likely they will be kicked out of GDA.

What will you do, GDA Daddy, what will you do?

GDA Daddy is probably off changing his soiled undies right now. He didn't think that far ahead, and now he's in panic mode.

All Florida GDA teams resume their Academy games on 1/27/18. That's before the start of the FHSAA Regional playoffs. GDA girls playing for some of the better HS teams will have a very difficult decision to make.

The decisions might be made for them before that - leave HS or else

I love how you are so concerned about the DA consequences when they have no barring or impact upon you. Just worry about your kid and you’ll be better off.

No impact on me, correct. But I do love seeing a pompous blowhard spin out of control when he gets a reality check. Admit it, you had no idea this problem was coming, did you?

Hope your fresh undies are comfy.

You’re the one complaining about it. What reality check? That a DA player who was grandfathered in is playing HS and DA? Get over it. The kid will go back to their club and all will go on as normal. The worst thing that might happen is the kid has to sit out a DA game or two. The same thing could happen with a Red card. That you seem so obsessed with limiting the opportunities of kids who you don’t know is sickening. And if the kid is suspended then what more do you want? Obviously playing in HS was worth the suspension and that should be the end of it.

Exactly what punishment do you think this “ethical crime” is worth?

Let’s get a few things straight.

1. It is a game.

If you are thinking beyond that then as an adult you really need to step away as you are obviously over invested in the goings ons of teenage girls, who are only kids for very little time left.

Your kid will be suspended (or worse) by USSF if she misses 5 academy games to play for her high school team. She made a commitment to her academy team and will soon willfully renege on that commitment.

If she continues through life with the overly-entitled attitude you have taught her, she's in for a lot more "limiting of her opportunities" in the future. Great parenting, GDA Daddy.
