It depends on the contract you signed with the club.
Please... Those agreements would not stand a chance if really tested. Clubs count on people believing that. That said, if you are paid up no reason or right to keep you. Any flack, go right to FYSA or US Club. Unless club can provide some sort of reason why they have to keep you even though you dont owe any money, they will release you from the club.
Anyone knows if it's still possible to pull out of a club? Or are we stuck already this season?
It's up to club if they will release your player pass. Usually if you pay full fees they have to release you. So it depends on which club and reason for leaving.
I have always heard that August 1 is the date FYSA uses. Here's a few of the rules from their website.
201.6 Affiliates in compliance with Rule 104 (in good standing) may begin to register players, coaches and other members for the upcoming seasonal year on July 15 with an effective date of August 1 or on a date set by the BOD.
202.1 Player/Coaches passes remain the property of FYSA and/or US Youth Soccer. No affiliate, coach, assistant coach or team staff can refuse to relinquish the pass to US Youth Soccer or FYSA, immediately upon request. Failure to do so may subject the party to sanctions as described under FYSA Rule 501.13.
203. PLAYER REGISTRATION
A competitive and or recreational player is obligated to his/her team for the seasonal year from the time he/she signs a contract or is rostered to a team until the end of the current seasonal year.
207. TRANSFERS/RELEASES
Soccer is a team sport; a player makes a commitment to the team at initial registration, as well as to the affiliate for the seasonal year.
207.1 Players, or their parents for players under the age of 18, may request in writing to be removed from a team’s roster or from the affiliate. The affiliate may grant the request.
207.4 Released players ARE NOT ELIGIBLE to compete or participate in any FYSA sanctioned or sponsored event. IN NO CASE IS A RELEASED PLAYER ENTITLED TO A PASS. NO RELEASED PLAYER SHALL HAVE IN HIS/HER POSSESSION ANY FYSA/US YOUTH SOCCER PASS. Any player/coach found to participate with a pass of a released player/coach may have the releasing affiliate charged a fine as per Rule 303.
207.6 Should the affiliate deny the request, a reason must be given. Affiliates have the right to deny any release or transfer request for the following reasons:
• The player has guest played with the affiliate during the current seasonal year (FYSA Rule 209).
• The coach or team staff member is the player’s ODP coach (FYSA Rule 208).
• There is a financial obligation to the affiliate.
• The request is received by the affiliate after December 1st of the seasonal year.
• Other contractual obligations to the affiliate.
I like to wait till as close as possible to the impending "tournament", then pull out. It's a little more risky than "playing" a different style of ball, but so far, lucky. You'll know when, wait for the feeling.

Nice lesson you're teaching - should be teaching about commitment.
