The SCHSL Rule States;
Soccer teams are limited to 16 varsity matches and 12 junior varsity matches and two invitational tournaments. One invitational tournament may be played one week prior to the first legal playing date. The earliest date for a pre-season tournament is February 22. A school may play 18 varsity matches and one invitational tournament with a written request from the school and approval from the League Office prior to the beginning of the soccer season.
The rule does not state that a "PLAYER" may not compete, it simply states that a "TEAM" may not compete....
