And yes! MO 2005 beat NYRB!!! Last week beat NYCFC !

Please provide insight on the rules or a DA player? Is there such thing as a “guest” player for DA for RedBulls, NYCFC or Metoval? This player during winter break is playing on DA team however is still playing on his heritage club if he’s free on the weekend in League, EDP tourneys, and NY state competitions. Is this allowed by the individual DA club or would his heritage club forfeit every game he’s participated in? Sorry I’m not familiar with the proper ruling and if it’s against rules how can this be reported. TIA

What about 2006?

DA rules allow for part time players but they must either be rostered on a lower level club team (B team) or on the roster of an "affiliate" club. The definite of affiliate is fairly lose. Most other leagues don't prohibit playing in a different league; they only prohibit you playing on two teams in the same league. So sorry, if you think a team has a ringer in state cup or EDP playoffs chances are there's no rules against it. Trying to rat out a kid is a scum move.

I would not "rat" out the kid myself. But in reality the "scum" move is bringing in ringers so a team he is never going to play on can win a plastic trophy or shiny medal. But maybe johnie's parents never won trophies or got beat up back in the good old days.

You're not going to last if you get your undies in a bunch over that. It happens. There's lots of loopholes, stacking of decks, politics and favoritism in club and even school soccer. If it's within the rules there's nothing that can be done except get over it. Coaches play to win.

5-4 MLS team should beat a regular DA team no matter how you put it . better training better equipment better facilities and those kids are supposed to be the best of the best . last week was an unfair game, bunch of 2006 and 07 .

I guess it shows how much better Met Oval is then the MLS DA's...cue the rage....

One of the dumber responses I have read. It is either within the rules and is fine, or is cheating. It sends the wrong message to the team the kid is playing on and to the kid as well. Your response is akin to saying "go ahead cheat, because boy oh boy are those rules hard to interpret".

What is next, 03's playing with 05s? Are you okay with that too?

Not likely, don't bother responding; the point is you had a visceral reaction to what is blatantly wrong, why no visceral reaction to something possibly wrong that is just as problematic?

Poster's point is that those things do happen, not just in soccer but in life also - look at the discussions that have come about following the admissions scandal. How far will parents go to give their kids and edge, legal but perhaps sleazy? In this case why would a family have their kid double rostered? Is it because they can and think it will make him a better player, or is it just their egos being stroked? How does the poster who raised the question want to handle it? If it's legal or even illegal, do you stay at the club? What do you tell your kid when things like that happen? I can't control what other people do or how other people parent their kids, but I can control how I deal with it.

Are the 18/19 metoval academy going to the playoffs?

Met Oval doesn't have a team in this age group, moron.
