MLS Next in High School- Why?

[AnonymousNOT]

So I have attended a few High School games already and have noticed some MSL Next players from SYC playing High School soccer at various schools.

According to MLS Next rules and regulations, players are NOT allowed to play High School soccer.

If Alexandria can do the right thing and follow MLS Next rules why can't SYC do the same?

It is a MLS rule not a HS rule. If there are any SYC MLS players on HS rosters they are not breaking any HS Sport association rule. It is not up to one organization to enforce another organization's rules.

I think HS soccer is just about the right place for SYC's MLS Next players.

It goes back to integrity and values or lack thereof.

Why does MLS Next think they can impose silly rules on players -- it's a school activity. Who does MLS Next think they are?

Some people believe that youth sports should be used as a tool to help form and develop character, integrity, and respect in young people. The brothers running SYC soccer would strongly disagree.

Give SYC the benefit of the doubt -- maybe they don't know that one of their players is also playing for his HS team in violation of the rules.

I'd report it to SYC. I'd also report it to MLS Next. It's unfair and poor sportsmanship to flout the rules of the league.

Who is it unfair to?

Report a 15/16/17 year old kid because he wants to play soccer? Get a life. You don’t know what that kid’s status is with SYC. He might be on the outs with the club and, even if he’s not, mind your own business.

Looks like SYC knows and is trying to do something about it:

That is one of the rules of MLSNext, so if you want to play HS soccer, play on an ECNL team (SYC is a part of VA Union) or a team in a league that allows it.

This is not one or two MLS Next players in HS teams. The kids know them and talk about it. This is not a HS problem but, once again, SYC breaking the rules.

Did you not read any of the posts in this thread? MLSNext players aren't allowed to play high school soccer.

That would be players breaking the rules, not the club.

But, even if they are playing, why do you care?

Because he doesn’t want his kid playing against kids that are actually really working hard to become better players.
