USSF grandfathered in HS ball 2 years with the intent of letting the Jr's and Sr's play out. As long as they are not playing both at the same time, there is no issue with USSF. USSF does not care who wins a HS Championship in what state.
USSF did not intend to stop girls from playing HS these first 2 or 3 years though they did look to discourage it.
That being said, with the exception of WFF, there were a few players here and there playing at the same time. Overall, not very impactful unless you faced a HS filled with WFF players. I don't know how big a deal that is because WFF is rather middle of the road.
Then the crap hit the fan. People freaked out and wrote the schools, the clubs and USSF. USSF decided more clarification was needed and guess what.... a bunch of girls realized they could play after the Winter Showcase and only miss a handful of games.
So in essence, WFF was the catalyst. Parents losing their minds added the fuel and now you probably have more girls looking to jump in than you had before.
This all going to go away in a year or two anyway. Either the grandfather period will end or USSF will back off their stance on HS ball which has also been brought up.
