Is it true that they started practice a week early and are having to give up all pre season and post season play? It would make since as to why they have canceled scrimages and pulled out of the V-cup.
SoccerMania camp was held on Jan 20-21...DFHS coaches were present and participated somewhat. Reported anonymously to League Office. Final outcome included no pre-season or other tournament participation, thus pull out at SV Taco Bell and Airport tournaments...and no post season play. Heavy penalty for the girls it seems when it was a coaches mistake...But so goes the rules and rulings...Ahh, but isn't that usually the case...our kids pay for our adult mistakes...Sad that some potential college playing girls lose the exposure of the SV tournament and Post Season play (if they had managed to earn their way in).
We didn't have anything in August. The first time the team was together for anything was for conditioning on Dec. 1. And no we didn't start a week early.
I do think the HSL was a tad harsh. Yes, two days early was dumb. But to take away 6 potential tournament games, 4 scrimmages, and perhaps the playoffs is very, very drastic. Kill a fly with a fly swatter, not a bazooka.
I agree. Starting 2 days early isn't going to turn them into national powers. I believe making them pull out of the SV tournament would have been good enough.
