I don't agree with the rule, but it does seem unfair to the HS kids in MLSnext who want to play HS soccer, but also choose to follow the rules. Alexandria and NVU and SYC and all the others should be fined.

If your kid transfers from a school because they are intending to play soccer at another school, and are admitted for that reason, than the waiver applies, private or public.


What in the wild world of sports is going on here

Who would choose a public school outside their district just for soccer?


Riverside HS in loudoun has kids transferring to play soccer. What you will find is a bunch of loudoun kids that are use to playing club together wanting to continuing into the spring. That's why they are consistently good. The coach also doesn't enforce the 1 year sitting rule which allows a kid to transfer, but they cannot play in that first year. It's not like football where they want to get recruited, it's just kids wanting to play together to make a run at states.

+1. How stupid are some of you? You can't select your public school based on playing soccer. The waivers can only be used at private schools. NO PUBLIC SCHOOL MLS NEXT PLAYERS CAN PLAY HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER UNDER THE RULES.


This isn't true. You may be accurate for your county, but there are all kinds of reasons a player on a public high school soccer team might have a waiver.


There isn't. The only reason the waiver is granted is for kids whose private school attendance was conditional upon playing soccer.

Name one valid reason a public school kid could give for getting a waiver? There aren't any.


The waiver does not specify private school. It just doesn't. I for a fact know a public school player who received a waiver. The word used is "participation" and with option #3 being "other," you can drive a truck through that language.


I don't know anything about the public school thing, but even most private schools use the #3 option because most private schools are not allowed to offer sports based scholarships. There's a lot of comments about private school players in this thread that aren't true either.

We will continue to do both and allow our children to play as much as possible so they improve at a faster rate than others. If there is any punishment, which I strongly doubt, we will deal with it.


I hope your child gets dropped by his club.

Are any high school coaches not taking MLS Next players who are trying out? Honestly it's a Club rule, it's not like the high school coaches are breaking a VHSL rule.

So is it parents/kids who chose ECNL over MLSNext for this reason?

Is it parent/kids whose kids didn't make the team or get less playing time because of "cheaters"?

Is it parents/kids whose schools have fewer MLSNext players?

Is it parents/kids who are just offended by other people not following rules?

Honestly I don't see why it matters to anyone but the Club Teams if the kids get injured or the Clubs get fines...which they never do..




You haven’t paid much attention to previous posts.

Whether the coach gets or cuts mls next players is irrelevant. What’s insane and borderline cheating is the fact that allegedly Riverside coach persuaded Riverside AD to have VHSL accept Riverside varsity playing ALWAYS at 4 pm BEFORE JV so that mls next kids can curtail the club situation and ALWAYS be present for club practice AFTER their HS game.

Tell us, where do you find this morally or ethically acceptable?

Now introduce to This equation those kids who got cut so that “coach” can stack the team with players from club who are violating those MLS NEXT HG rules.

You better check your high school league rules. There’s a very good chance that a rival high school coach could report your MLSNext son’s high school participation, which would result in his high school team forfeiting all of their matches. You’d be really popular in town.
