[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After long debate, I have decided to have my son play both high school and MLS next Alexandria this season and a few of his teammates will as well. He wanted to play 9th grade last year and has an older brother on the high school team. It’s there last opportunity to play together and we will deal with the consequences but I doubt there will be any as Alexandria will not want him to leave. He will miss probably half the high school games for MLS next practices. I have talked to an ACC college coach friend and he thought that playing against older competition would be great for him as well. The only players that should these rules are the academy teams at DC. I have watched high school division 6 and their competition is definitely just as high as my 15 mls next games(definitely different style tho, more like college soccer). MLS next will be the priority and the high school coach (former college player) is on board as well. The mls rules are silly and probably safer than the futsal pickup my son already plays with random guys. We will probably not let him play next year due to recruiting.[/quote]

We are also planning to ignore those stoopid rules and will play HS - DS is a starter at NVA[/quote]

NVA is holding hard and fast to this rule as a newer entrant to MLS Next. Unless your kid is in private and has a waiver you will put your players future slot at
risk. The coaches and club don’t want to get reprimanded simply because your kid decided to ignore their clear expectations in order to play public HS soccer in spring.

FWIW- tons of Alexandria kids playing private HS soccer this fall, so the OP complaining about SYC and in the same breath praising ASA as a rule follower is ironic. Of course, many private HS require students  to play a sport for graduation so MLS Next waivers to play HS are possible (without scholarship) which is something OP should read up on before claiming everybody is breaking the rules …could be they are actually following them to a tee- especially if their are playing fall HS (which may signal private).[/quote]
