It is a choice you need to make with your child or for your child. There are no conflicts with tournaments/practice when you are playing for Three Village. In the perfect world you could play for both, but how do you choose with conflicts? I don't think it scummy, the rules are for all children regardless of year. I have children that have left and come back and were welcomed back. Others that have left. They are friends with children regardless of what team they play on.
