U15 options

[Unregistered]

So whats this from last fall? Not just top teams. Prior years have similar schedules as well.
Again, we are just trying to gather info before we explore options for a new U15 season. Attached seems to show clubs do have a full "season" (fall/spring)

These U15 teams from last Fall are made up with players who were born in 2006 but NOT yet going into HS, either because they were born late in the year or because of other factors like missing a year. Sprinkled in are some players playing an age group up. So, these are teams formed just so that non HS players can keep competing in the Fall before all the HS players re-join their original teams. Notice how scores aren't kept.

U14 is the trapped year this year so your u15 player will play high school in the fall and club in the spring as a freshman or sophomore this year.

It's not much of a "season." It's an option if you don't want to play HS soccer, but far from what you will have winter and especially spring

I believe you are correct but only when you are talking about 8th graders, which usually aren't playing U15, so they sort of helping out the HS team who doesn't have enough players on the roster.
For kids who are Freshman in HS, playing U15 Club soccer in the Fall is not allowed by most HS coaches... at least that's what I have been told.

MIAA does not allow varsity players to miss HS for club and they can not play competitive club. They are allowed to practice and play friendlies. This is why NEP has U15 friendlies in fall. My son played varsity as 8th grader due to small school size. His club team held regular practices which he did not partake in along with the 9th grade JV kids. He played the Sunday friendlies.

This ^. It's really just a placeholder season for trapped 8th graders to get touches on the ball until their high school teammates return in November. My kid was at a bigger club whuch took kids from four different regional teams and put them together. They were from all three different levels at the club (NPL, Elite, Premier), so a pretty wide range of ability. They also had two high school players on the team who weren't playing for their schools for whatever reason. It was a quick 10 week season, and then everyone went their separate ways. It wasn't the best soccer, but kept my kid in shape and progressing, so she was ready to hop in with the high school players in November.

OP
So what are U15 parent's experience with club fees for this age? Is tuition for U15 less than it was for U14 due to no fall activity?

Should be assuming they aren't doing something in the fall. But don't expect it to be 1/3 less because it won't be.

Usually about $0 to $500 depending on the club. Our club was $300 less when we went to the fall but we started training November and went to End of December due to January tournaments. We also started earlier in the spring outdoors and run later in the June.
