[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SA: The Development Player League in its announcement about the Girls Academy League mentioned "offering the flexibility to play high school soccer."

RICK DERELLA: It's going to be a 10-month season, but most states can play high school at the same time as club. In Connecticut, you cannot.

SA: The distinction would be that instead of the Development Academy, which banned girls from playing high school, now girls will be allowed to play if it's practical and permissible.

RICK DERELLA: The problem is, the science doesn't match. Anyone that believes in periodization can't believe in doing both.[/quote]

This actually does seem consistent with what we heard from our club earlier this week -- it sound like "permitted in unusual circumstances, but discouraged."[/quote]

Sounds to me that is it left to be individual decision, some kids want it some don't, but the season for GA won't stop for HS soccer.  Creative coaches can figure it out.  I like the idea that there are options for all players and no over reaching rules from a league.  [/quote]
