How can HS soccer be spring if you sat out in the Fall for HS soccer?

You can walk away and owe the club the money. They likely will not pursue the matter for the little amount owed. Or you can do as you originally stated you intended to do and pay as you agreed. Its your choice to leave the club. it was your choice to agree to take that roster spot. Had you not taken it a different player would have therefore your choice impacts the club, the team and each player that remains.

Again your call what to do but you will owe the money, that I can tell you for sure

The new coach who will be taking over the team has already been announced and without going into details, we know from prior history that he isn't a good fit for DS. The club only has two teams in this age group and the other team isn't very good at all so unfortunately, we feel like finding a new club/team is the best option for DS. I realize that we'll probably have to pay the balance of the fees for the Spring (which is unfortunate but I understand how it works). What I don't understand is how the (VYSA) player card/pass gets moved to a new club? Does the current club automatically "release" it after we pay the balance of the fees and then the new club submits a request to "hold" it? Do we need to deal directly with VYSA ourselves or do the clubs take care of all this? I'm afraid I don't fully understand how this works but I'd like to understand the process in hopes of making this already "painful" transition as seamless as possible. Thank you for any info.

Good chance you may have made your decision already....
When you leave you also leave the teammates:
This group of boys, having been together may weather through this change. The change will be another experience for them as a whole, for good or for worse.
Perhaps slow roll tryouts in the spring..and let the boys have the twilight of their relationship as a team one more short season so they understand and have closure.
