Honestly, how do public school DA players feel when their waivered private school teammates return and push kids to the bench? I know, they chose to play DA over playing for high school but it somehow seems crappy to allow the generally wealthier private school kids have the ability to play for school, but if you go to public school no such luck.

Hate to say it, but you don’t sign without realizing the possibilities.
The only way to fix the issue is to end waivers.

I love when waivered kids come back only to find stiff competition for their spot and then move on to GPS or NEFC after the spring season. It makes DA parents smile on the inside. It’s usually the ISL players that bring the lowest work rate to practice. The dedicated players generally ferret out the unmotivated and the situation either corrects itself or the player in question self-selects themself for removal.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBetter clubs and MLS generally won't give waivers, official (USSF approved for private school players) or especially unofficial (the club doesn't put them in a DA roster until the players finish high school soccer). Problem is with so many clubs and a limited and diluted talent pool, many clubs have to make accommodations to get players they want. DA rules also require 25% starts no matter when you come on board. Returning players have to get their starts in. I've no doubt clubs would rather not give any waivers - it messes with their rosters, makes teams weaker in the fall, creates tension when players return - but they don't have many choices but to take paying customers
