[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so OP - you came on here to complain about the rules you agreed to when you signed to your club and to brag that you are violating the rules because you don't think you'll be punished.  got it.[/quote]

I just wanted to see everyone's thoughts. Standing up to stupid rules is what makes people change the rules. Not allowing players to play more soccer is why our country will never win a world cup. [/quote]

if you think violating rules you don't like is how to get people to change rules, you are mistaken.  Same goes for complaining about it here.[/quote]

Fair point. My son has decided to play for HS besides his NVA duties. If he is removed, he’ll join another MLS next club. I put the money down. NVA doesn’t pay my son to play for them. [/quote]

Here's the deal.  It's not a club rule.  It's an MLS Next (HG/Academy) rule based on similar rules with overseas academies around exclusivity.  It's no different than the way they own "training" rights if your kid wants to go overseas.   None of those are negotiated points with a club, they're part of the charter for play and you inherit them when you accept the offer, whether you chose to read it or not.  They delegate enforcement of high school to the clubs, which means that how much sway or influence a club has with MLS Next leadership to look the other way determines how strict they need to be on enforcement.  In the DMV, it mostly means people stay quiet about it and the clubs don't look too closely.  It can result in forfeits or other punishment by the national body, but generally nothing happens except a few kids each year having to quit high school ball partial way through the season.[/quote]

True. I personally don't care if MLSN1 allows HS or not, what I hate is the blatant hypocrisy for how the current rule is set and 'enforced'. Either allow HS or don't but stop with the bullshit private school waivers and the complete lack of enforcement. It is a joke and makes the league look weak. [/quote]

How many MLS Next HG players also play HS? 
Should be an interesting number for sake of this dramatic emotional thread[/quote]
