Girls Development Academy High School Soccer rules 2018-19
Any player that is registered as a FT player during the season is not permitted to participate in High School soccer for the 2018-19 season. Players registered as Development Players (DPs) competing for the club’s non-DA team during the season are eligible to compete in High School soccer, permitted they do not compete in both the Academy and High School soccer at the same time.
The only way a FT player can compete on their high school team is if the player attends a private school that requires the player to play sport to retain their scholarship or is a curriculum requirement. The player/club would need to obtain an official letter from the school’s head master/principle explaining the student-athletes situation. If approved, the player would then be eligible to register with their Academy team, join their high school team when the season starts, and re-join their Academy team upon conclusion of the high school season. Please see Academy ruling on high school soccer participation below.
