Here in Dallas, one of the top nationally ranked club s.o.c.c.e.r organizations gave their players an ultimatum. They required their players to be year round players, not allowing any "part timers"...who they defined those that played for their High School teams to be. There were 3 players, who were both the top club U17 players as well as the 3 best players for the same HS team...ranked in the top 10 nationally.

The players didn't like it. Felt the club turned their back on them, and chose to play for the HS team instead of the club team. So far, none of the other clubs have followed this one's lead. Jury's still out about whether this one will keep or toss the new policy given the reaction.
