[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what happens if a u13 DA kid for example plays for another club in Columbus Day tournament? or even during a league game?  I heard that the DA can get in trouble but how do they really find out? and who is "they"? The DA Coach?  What if the DA Coach doesn't say anything? I mean why would he? He doesn't want the DA to get in trouble.[/quote]

I'm not sure what US Soccer would do if they found out a DA player was violating the DA-only rule, but the club would care a lot about it.  In addition to not wanting to risk sanctions from USSF, they tend to be very possessive of their players and very firm in their belief that time away from the club and DA training has potential to harm the player and the team.  Plus they don't want other kids getting ideas about potentially moonlighting.

In terms of how they find out, it's almost always a parent narc.  A few years back I watched our middle school's first soccer game of the season.  We had a DA player on the team.  I'm not sure if he didn't know he wasn't allowed to play school soccer due to the USSF rules or if he thought it wasn't a big deal, but he got a message from his DA coach 5 minutes after the game started.  A parent on the other team recognized him and called the coach to turn him in.  [/quote]
