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?

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.

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.

What rule is SYC breaking?

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

Well MLS Next should remain intellectually honest. They aren’t. There are exceptions to this ‘no high school’ rule if you play for your PRIVATE school. Kids see the contradiction. I would not adhere to a rule that is biased for class.

If you don’t like the rule, you don’t have to play in MLS Next. You don’t get to pick which rules you follow, and which you don’t.

Are you five years old? The players see the contradiction in this rule as well as home grown rules. This is much like free agency fight a generation ago. MLS after Messi will not be the same. MLS is begging for class action.

They just get the form signed at our private, but these are kids that aren’t on scholarship and not there because of soccer. A few didn’t even play for the school their Freshmen year. More power to them. The program sucks.
