That's crazy. The only compelling reason for those club teams to continue would be if there were USYSA Region 3 Central Premier League games to play -- Brentwood SC won the U-18 and FC Alliance won the U-17 Central Premier League titles back in the fall. The high school age boys' club teams have no formal schedule with either TYSA or USYSA in the spring. USYSA is a considerably inferior product to what the USSF has put forth, and USSF refuses to dictate to the Development Academy teams to tell their kids not to play for their schools. One can only hope that this is wrong. Any club coach in this state who tells a kid that he has to skip his high school season in order to progress as a player is being unethical as well as dishonest.

Do you mean that players are being forced to choose between HS/Club in states with Development Academy clubs or that that players are being forced to choose between HS/Club here in Tennessee just to play for their TYSA clubs? The latter would be a sad, unfortunate joke. In North Carolina on the boys' side, none of the four clubs are making the kids choose between HS and club -- and several of these kids are in the Youth National Team pools while still representing their schools AND their clubs.

Anyone know why there are no US Soccer Development Academy clubs in the state of Tennessee? Has any club applied to join?

Which of the Hendersonville players are considering playing in college, and for what clubs do these guys play? Are there any signings from the current senior class? I saw that the Centennial goalkeeper who had signed with Indiana University last year is no longer on the roster. Any information about that? Did see that Hendersonville has an alum who had a very solid career for the Hoosiers that wrapped up this past fall.

Not as convenient as those two arms the referee held towards the sky...
