Originally posted by Unregistered View PostTell that to the gymnastics team kid, the elite swimming kid, the Eagle Scout, the study abroad (not always school sponsored), the local theater or music kid, numerous low end of the spectrum special needs activities ran by third parties... I could go on. High school ran programs are not all encompassing, nor realistically could they be, too expensive and schools cater more to the norm. The previous poster suggests that IF an activity is not operated by a high school, ergo the activity deserves no accommodation. Yet schools are different in sizes and funding and offer different (more expansive and more limited) HS programs as a result. This is why schools routinely allow accommodation as needed in the best interests of the kid for a great number of activities be they privately or school ran. Athletics activities should be no different. Just looking for a fair playing field for all activities. And as for the parent that keeps talking about “breaking vs following” the rules, my daughter does not play school soccer nor have we allowed any exceptions. I agree rules, whether you like them or not, need to be followed. However, that does not mean you cannot have ideas and post ideas on how you would like to see them changed. In the case of the DA I support a fixed number of approved “miss” hours for the betterment of kid brain, social needs and body. Or in the case of HS regulations, rules need to be applied to all activities fairly.

BTW your kid may not lose PT only because the teams stink. Being a starter on a low quality team doesn't make them a "top" player. Good luck at nationals, where you'll see what proper competition looks like

Clearly you are one of those angry rage filled liberal idiots who can't get over that Trump IS your President. hahahahaha
Regardless of what anyone thinks about how the DA should be run, it’s run the way it is - a “it is what it is” situation. So you either adhere to their rules and regulations or you find another club/league. It’s pretty simple.

13 pages deep. Can anyone please let me know what they said when the issue was brought directly to them?

If neither of those things happened then the answer is clear - the club doesn't care.

Yes, I do. This is a seriously troubling issue based on the number of posts about it. Again, at least one person is very upset about it. So upset they should be doing something about it.
Because, as I tell my employees when they come to me with a complaint: what is your solution to the problem? Or, are you just venting? If you are just venting, that's perfectly fine and we all need to let off some steam here and there. But, do so with the knowledge I will forget about this conversation when it's over.
However, if you want change, come to the table with a solution. I may not follow it, but at least you have done your homework.
So, sounds like this is just a venting scenario and nobody really expects any change.
Understood.

It is clear that both Seacoast and the high schools knew that these girls were playing both and did nothing about it. That is understood. Expecting a player or a player’s family to come up with the solution that everyone follow a rule that is clearly in place is ridiculous.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot the OP. It's difficult to say what I would do if were in the actual situation but if I were, at the very least I would tell soccer community people about it. Some people will care some will not, but the ones that do care will have that in the back of their minds when considering SUSC. The big short sighted loser in all of this is SUSC, who will never know how many kids they are losing because they seem to condone cheating and having special rules for certain players. It's not like kids are beating down the door to play DA at SUSC either.
Much easier and less scary if you have something to say about something or someone, just throw it out there. Don't confront the actual thing you have a problem with, Tweet it instead.
Anybody making a decision based on an anonymous message board is an idiot.
