Quote: so now you want the spirit of the rule to be interpreted and applied. two years ago, when you filed an appeal during club, you wanted the letter of rule to be applied. which is it? you only want what is good for your team. there is no difference between what your team has done here and what gilbert did. go and read the gilbert thread in the girls forum. so, why should your team not be held accountable? oh, because the rules are not fair. right. well, that may be the case. this particular rule doesn't seem practical or applicable. however, it is currently the rule. furthermore, i don't remember seeing you guys defending gilbert girls.
I haven't a clue as to what you are referring to...my son doesn't play for Northwestern...but he would have been ruled ineligible...didn't train with his high school coach in the fall nor did he play for his high school coach in the fall...how fair is that??
As far as the Gilbert Girls...haven't a clue about that, either. But if they were punished or ruled ineligible, then it's a complete travisty. Who loses in the end? The players.
What good does it do anyone for a complete season of soccer not to happen?
