I am not aware of the exact circumstances of the case you are speaking about,but I imagine the coach is asking that the player be commmitted to the club team and put it first. Tripp only coaches a U14 team right now so you are talking about club vs JV.My son attends a private school that has not had the dual participation problem and he tried to play both club and school soccer at the same time.It is impossible to be committed to both teams and you WILL have conflicts.You end up letting teammates and coaches on both teams down.It is also very taxing physically at this age to play/practice weekdays and play 2-3 games on weekends.If a player from say Spring Valley varsity told his coach he had to miss games/practices to attend club practices,what do you think would happen? There is a reason why there are no U15 and up club teams this spring though it would be legal to have them. You really have to make a choice, there is no way to play full time on 2 teams.I know, my son tried.
