Problem is, such a rule would not keep clubs from "stepping on High School athletics toes." Nothing the SCHSL does is in any way binding on clubs. What it WOULD do is create a situation in which, by scheduling events that coincide with the high school season, clubs could effectively force players to choose between not taking advantage of the opportunities that the clubs experiences offer, or not playing high school soccer at all.
Given the opinions voiced here regularly about clubs that would prefer their players NOT play high school soccer...do you think this would make them less likely to schedule conflicting events?
Put players (or anyone else, for that matter) in a situation where they are forced to make a choice, and you might not like the choices they end up making. Often they become a little biased against the party that is forcing the choice. Compromise, on the other hand, is more likely to result in a situation where the player can benefit from both teams, and both teams can benefit from the player. Any other way, somebody loses...and the players would lose something with either choice.
Just sayin'.
