This should not have to be an either/or situation. It is no secret Club/ECNL would like to see the players not play high school. They know once the players get a taste of wearing that high school jersey, playing before their peers that they really like it. ECNL and Club are trying (and they really have already) become year round.

High School season lasts essentially from Feb.-May. So Club/ECNL can have these players 8 months of the year. High School only needs them for 4. Is 8 months not enough?

Evidently not. That's 4 months that they are not getting YOUR money and YOUR time.

And as for punishment, I assume your player's high school (which you did not answer to gbdawgs) must have set some rules prior to the season, agreed to by all the players. So I guess in your "Commitment" policy, since they do not have to be committed to high school these rules do not apply.
