    Huh?? How is it a non-factor when the GDA schedule and the FHSAA playoff schedule overlap by more than 4 weeks? I'm not following whatever point you are trying to make.

        If the post is true , makes all the sense in the world. Showcase in December April and June and games every other weekend sounds good. You only improve by playing what u learned during training. Very simple concept
        They had their last games like Nov 20 before Thanksgiving but GDA training was still continuing to prepare for the GDA Showcase Dec 6-9. The high school playoffs will begin at the end of January and GDA is supposed to be back in full training mode at that time. There are GDA players who did not do high school like good little followers and they were expecting their teammates to be at GDA practices too. Any GDA player who does not go back at the end of January for GDA training to prepare for the games the first week in February should be terminated from GDA. The rules were up front by U.S. Soccer and they aren't to be broken by a few who decide high school playoffs are more important than the academy deal they agreed to.

          U.S. Soccer doesn't even have a handle on which of its players are doing high school soccer after the showcase ended.

            No, U.S. Soccer did not create the mess, but the everyone trying to circumvent their rules did create the mess. Wasn't GDA training still going on up until the GDA Showcase in December?

              US Soccer doesn't care what happens during the GDA break. They will care big time when the break is over and some choose to stay with their HS teams for the FHSAA playoffs.

              I agree with the previous poster who said those players should be kicked out of GDA. Based on what USSF did to those ODP rebels I think that's a distinct possibility.

                The break began after the Showcase and then the players needed recovery time after the Showcase and now they are baaaackkk to high school. Never knew GDA went on an official break where the players could go do high school soccer. When is the GDA break over?

                  When the GDA break ends, the GDA players names will be on the GDA rosters which means they can not be on another roster at the same time so that will mean no high school anymore. If the player continues with high school soccer after the GDA break is over, the player and daddies must be worried about what U.S. Soccer might do to them? They will be putting their soccer GDA clubs in a hard place with U.S. Soccer too and jeopardizing the club having GDA.

                    What people fail to understand is the GDA daddies had their plan at GDA tryouts. They colluded with the GDA club and the high school coaches to make their plan work for their daughter to do one month of high school. He wants her to reap the benefit of wearing the school's jersey and being part of the school team even if only playing games for one month. He wants her to do signing day at the high school in a couple years too and will keep his plan going until she graduates. It will never stop unless U.S. Soccer puts its foot down!

                      Please take it easy on GDA Daddy, he is having a very bad day today. He already had to change his undies once today.

                      Look for US Soccer to make an example out of the players who choose to play with their HS teams after the spring GDA season starts. This will not be pretty. Hope those players didn't burn any bridges with their previous clubs.

                        Player says "can't join the high school team until mid December when my GDA commitment is completed after the Showcase" and then at the end of January she says "can't join GDA practices and games until my high school playoffs commitment is over". She is playing every one for herself.

                          LOL!!!!! And that is just killing you. It is U.S. Soccer's rule to enforce and not your HS. Jesus you are a bitter, bitter person. Exactly what does National Signing Day do for her? Nothing, it is a picture in the paper.

                          Frankly, any student who signs with a College should be recognized by the school whether or not they play for any school team or not. The whole point of National Signing Day is to say congratulations to the students. It is not intended to be a "look at me" moment for the school.

                            The GDA daddies don't have to change their undies because the GDA clubs will cover for them. The club will say little Mia had permission to play high school from the start until playoffs were over, however Mia just decided to not start playing high school games until mid December after the showcase because her high school coach was okay with it. There is a way around everything and no GDA Daddy would take the risk of letting Mia fail so it was all prearranged and approved.

                              I don't think any of the DA teammates care about it nearly as much as you do. Stop acting like HS is this great accomplishment that all kids are seeking out. Most of the kids know that the quality sucks, or the coach sucks or all of the above. Playing in front of 20 school students isn't that big a deal either.

                                Some of their teammates didn't know they could collude far in advance with their club and the high school coach to be able to play high school for a month. Some teammates don't have a high school coach who will take them on late because their standards are too high.
