[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the penalty for a player in DC United playing HS for broad Run? Suspension from MLS next Team?

Is it aceptable to allow outside entities dictate what a teenager can/can’t do with regard to his HS and the joys and memories that come with it?[/quote]

How could you do both just on the logistics alone?  Would be curious.

But, if you play in DCUs academy you agree to forego HS soccer and I'm pretty sure they would kick you out if you were caught doing both.  Can't guarantee that but it is against the rules of MLS next to do both.  Playing HS soccer makes the player ineligible to play MLS next .Your best bet is to ask DCU to designate your son as a "future player" which then makes him eligible To play HS soccer. This significantly reduces his involvement with DCU but it allows him to do both.  Or you can apply for a waiver through Pdev which is the MLS management group of MLS next. Most parents don't understand the future player designation and/or the rules of MLS next.  https://www.mlssoccer.com/mlsnext/resources/rules-and-regulations/#:~:text=Except%20as%20set%20forth%20herein,not%20available%20for%20middle%20school).[/quote]

You sign a contract with the academy, one being no high school allowed.  And there's no such thing as a "future player" on an academy team.  You're either in or you're out.  If you want to play high school, don't accept an academy offer.  This isn't like a MLS next club, you don't pay so you don't really have any say.[/quote]

There are future players at DCU...period.   [/quote]

You're saying DCU allows these "future players" to go play high school?  Why on earth would an academy invest money into a player so that they can go and get hurt in high school soccer?  No academy let's ANY of their players play any kind of organized soccer event outside of the academy. 
 Please make sense.

And I'm not talking about some random MLS Next club.  Why the hell are we even discussing that?  This is about academy players and high school soccer.[/quote]

Like has been said, DCU allows future players.  You can believe it or not.. I don't care.  Three from Pipeline in the 2022-2023 season who also played at Pipeline all season and won the ECNL national championship that year.  All.while.being future players at DCU.  They played in big games for DCU that season and practiced occasionally with their DCU team.  Best of both worlds really for them.  They also did the same.thing the following season at DCU.  Went to GA cup as well...AND played for Pipeline.  [/quote]

And an investment in a future player isn't the same as a full time player.  For both parties...and you clearly don't know what you're talking about when it comes to.this subject.  Future player designation exists to allow the clubs to get a player into their orbit without fully commiting to them.  It could be a fringe player that they want to see develop a.bit more before they fully invest or it could be a player that they really want but the player doesn't want to be in an MLS.acsdsmy because they want to play...bingo...High School soccer...read the rules.. they apply MLS.acsdemies as well.
