As I understand it, the DA rule is that you can not SIMULTANEOUSLY participate in DA and HS. So in order to play HS, you have to take a leave of absence from DA, meaning you can not attend DA practices, or play in DA matches while you are participating in HS season.
Furthermore, the decision is up to each individual club as to whether they will allow or guarantee that any player taking a leave of absence can return to DA after HS season is completed.
I would imagine that any club that allows it's DA players to take leave of absences, and then can not field a team, or a competitive team, for DA matches played during HS season, would not be looked upon in a good light by USSF, possibly risking their DA status. I would imagine that would serve as a bit of a deterrent to clubs from granting LOA's carte blanche, as well as providing guarantees for return to DA to players that do take LOA's.
It would also appear from Zizou's last post that any player caught trying to play HS on the sly will be dealt with rather harshly.
With that said, I would bet that clubs can work around this to a degree by using their "Pilot" or "DA2" teams from the off-year age groups. For example, if the club has a U16/U17 DA team that is mostly made up of '01 birth years, and a U16 "Pilot" team that is made up mostly of '02 birth years (see Solar and FCD), the club could backfill U16/U17 DA slots vacated by '01's taking LOA's, with some hungry '02's from the U16 Pilot team that have decided that a shot at playing DA is worth not playing HS.
Since the U16 teams are not officially DA, they are not at the mercy of the DA scheduling, and the clubs could probably work the scheduling of those teams around HS season, much like ECNL Texas Conference does today.
I am someone that works with multiple DA clubs around the state, and the Pilot teams are not free to schedule matches whenever they want or to work around things. U13 or U16 Pilot... the only thing that keeps a pilot team from playing when the rest of the clubs age groups are playing is if their opponent does not field a pilot team in that age group.
Just stating facts.

Is that you Bige? Foxy likes your new look.
Well ...... hey there Foxydad --
DTX is a BAD MAN, isn't he?
Unfortunately at this point I can't come up with a rationale to create a second account. Perhaps you can shed some light ... ya know ... provide some advice as to why I would need one/how it would better serve me.
Please and thank you

Hey 'lil buddy, I understand your feelings might be hurt, but even you pardner are smart enough to wrap your little noggin around the FACT that while the above statement is posted on the GDA site, it isn't being enforced.
Nothing more, nothing less.
So dry those crocodile tears and don't be so overly sensitive to think that every statement of fact about GDA is a criticism.
K?
And now for this ^ gem --
Once again ... adorable sunshine here SoSy. You may not know this but I love you and your little lady ... Been watching you guys for years and am pullin' for ya!
But I/we are waiting with such anticipation for you (and those of you that find it unthinkable that we are supporting our children in their decision to participate in GDA) to educate all of us as to why we have made the wrong choice. That your team/coach/club is better. That you all are in a more favorable place than we are. That you are smarter and have made the right choice as a family. And all of this not because your kid couldn't make a GDA team, but because it was the best decision for your kid. Please ... Enlighten us.
Stating "facts" like these regarding what the USSDA said almost a year ago about a program that did not yet exist vs what is occurring today after a few months of existence doesn't make it a poor choice, failure, etc. Having no bearing to back your misled (and obviously jealous) contentions just makes you look like an arse ... It's as if you're literally Billy Madison, in the movie Billy Madison at the third grade spelling bee ... You know the scene --
But as I mentioned, I still love ya

Ohhh ... gotcha. My answer is I don't have the first damn clue. Maybe he was an early riser and liked to pack in the morning. And maybe he didn't have any friends. I'm an educated man but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about the travel habits of the USSDA brass.
It seems you do believe that the aim of the USSDA is to destroy the ECNL ... wouldn't that be the very definition of a conspiracy?
And yes ... very few '06s will be rostered on the U13/14 sides nationally. Which would be a good thing based on your previously stated contention wouldn't it?
USSF ordered a Code Red (one of my all-time favorites, by the way). Was the sole purpose to destroy ECNL? No. But it was a convenient side effect. And, I agree, if they aren’t pursuing U13s, then that certainly suggests attacking ECNL isn’t the main goal. But this explains the power of NTX. The new Big 3 are that because of GDA. If they were like the rest of the country, they’d be fighting much harder to recruit U13s. But they don’t have to because of the “pilot” program in the Frontier division. And, even worse, this year, incoming U13s will be playing 11v11 for the first time. Hardly seem ready for national attention. Yet, DDs will go to those clubs at U13 only because of the “pilot” program that USSF has decided is unworthy of a national scale.

Have you guys seen the curriculum for U13 mandated by USSF? Now this is the golden rule book of what all ages all soccer should be teaching at age U13. I dont see how they will follow educational and competitive at this nature. Smells of money grab all over it and also still trying to ruin other clubs at the same time.

Both DA and ECNL came on the scene with an agenda that benefited specific clubs increasing the flow of players and money. One is no different than the other.

Can't you boys get along? It's just expensive little girl soccer. I think we're gonna have to go get some cocktails at the fuzzy pear again. I thought you all bonded last time. You dressed just alike with your branded club shirts, tight shorts and calf high white socks. I would invite ziz and meth man, but I think big e is also ziz and sos is running the meth man handle. If we go early enough, we can probably catch a few coaches, belting down a few before practice.

I actually agree with Thor. You are an idiot, posting this stupidity. At least make a joke or say something useful or sarcastic or crappy. Maybe bring back Sho nuff and say something about your DTS hate, make fun of Bige's DA love, something anything. This is just silly though.
