In the first year maybe that did happen. For the 2018-2019 season, under MF and GB, there were ZERO players from LISC who played HS and academy.

Good to know, thank you for your response!

lol they only have U14 and U15. U14s are mostly 8th graders as are some U15s. Many U15s wouldn't make their HS varsity team so why not do DA for a year? The U15s are doing Ok, might make playoffs. But some kids may bail out for next year. The U14s have not one win all year and have only scored 6 goals vs an incredible 131 GA. How many of those players will come back next year? Who would want to join a team doing so poorly?

they dont unless families pay. All they do is provide a one stop shop for College coaches and parents will put up with almost anything to be in the shop window.

Sadly this is very, very true.

Says you. The youth sports industry is trying their hardest to ruin this sport but too bad. It is a great game and people will find a way to play it.

They have ruined it. Taking joy out of the game.

I give you that are doing their best with lots of help from the parents. But the kids are still having fun for the most part. When that changes, we are out.

Funniest thing I've ever seen on TS. bawhaw!

Even if they told you the truth, USSF rules are exceptions can only be made for private school kids and only if a club and USSF approves. Any club that says you can play and come back in November is full of desperate sheisters. Stay away. If you're not in the insanity of GDA currently, give it another year to see where it shakes out. I wouldn't recommend entering GDA right now and certainly not around here.

This is better advice. Chances of getting an honest answer from a club is slim to none.

Playing in DA isn't a right. Play by the rules or play elsewhere. Send your kid the right message. There are other options out there and in fact leaving DA sends a message in itself - enough with the hypocrisy of having rules that are only enforced for some.

This is spot on. The only ones making mincemeat out of the sport are the parents and clubs that bend or break the rules.

Clubs break rules for parents. they do it to retain customers. Parents need to divorce the sport itself from the business around it. I dont care who breaks rules. Its my job as a parent to teach my kids what I value. its not my job to be sidetracked by others values.

If i dont liike the environment for my kids, i leave and find a better one. if thats not possible, i work harder as a parent to explain why.

The game itself should be fun for the kids . if not, why are you doing it?

Of brother. Guess we know where your bread is buttered. Jig is up. Lots of this youth soccer deal is a con. We still participate because the kids love it but spare us the lectures.
