They have 20+ kid rosters for a reason so find a way to field the best team you can on the day you play and stop worrying about this stuff.
They are looking to have "control" over the entire soccer experience. From the training to the fitness testing to the minutes, etc. Think of it from a scientific approach: If someone taints your sample, then you can't trust the data. So, by eliminating other influences you have a sterile data set.
Most HS will not allow you to miss time for other influences, so if you are doing both you are essentially saying your Club is taking a back seat. Then, you have those who are playing and doing their part, only to be pushed aside when the HS comes back.
Not sure it will work in the end nor am I saying I personally agree with it, but that is the reasoning and it does make some sense.

That, and USSF simply abhors it. Problem is they look like fools when people heat the system in plain view. Either have the rule or don't, but don't have the rule and look the other way.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think they accept that reality. Honestly, the players who want to push their DA club to the back aren't ones they want. Over time, they will be successful in that, but for now they have to accept it and turn a blind eye. It's especially tougher for kids at the older ages; younger, who were never playing for HS to begin with, the hope is this will be less of an occurrence.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI don't think that's necessarily the case. Sure some who skip HS may be more serious, but there's other who are willing to skip HS because theirs sucks or they don't play much. Those aren't the players you want. Just because you want to play HS doesn't mean you aren't serious about soccer. It's DA that's telling them they're not serious. Not all players buy that line. And it's hard to take DA seriously when they're not taking their own rule seriously

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postthe "no hs rule" by da was just strictly marketing gimmick to portray the "we are the most serious about soccer" attitude.....obviously it has backfired.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLook if USSF wants that rule, fine. Maybe the rule is appropriate for the top 1% who really have the potential to go pro or be on the national team. But it definitely isn't desired or necessary by many of the remaining 99% and those who opt to stay out of DA altogether because they won't give up HS. It goes to the fact that DA is too big for the type of player USSF cares about. The 99% are practice cones to them and all those kids want is to play in college.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI agree, and if the USSF want to put up their money where their mouth is and say no HS but we will find your DA soccer then that would be a different story. Until then it is just another league.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHuh? The DA wants the strongest players that can pay the money like every other league. Some of those players want to participate in HS soccer and some do not.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOf course they “want” every good player. But they also are willing to accept reality and if there are players who are more concerned with the social aspects they accept that reality. It’s not a player they want to fight over
but at the end of the day, all club soccer is pay to play from ecnl and gda on down except for mls da.
