If teams are all the same graduating year it means that the club they're playing for isnt rostering Aug birthdays on grade down teams. They're being rostered on their correct grade in school team. |
This doesn't seem related to offers for Aug to Dec birthdays. You are trying to sell the Brooklyn bridge. Not be noble and help anyone but yourself. People can do their own research, talk to their coaches and teams. You are just trying to pollute the well, again and again. |
100% graduating year is related to grade in school. |
Some might even call it the same thing. |
It doesn't. It means that's where the team felt everyone belongs to make the team. Why do you care again? Because it shouldn't matter to a random parent what a random club does that their kid isn't at and doesn't know about. |
That's not related to offers for Aug to Dec kids, who could be in any grade. It doesn't matter. |
Aug birthdays because they can play up can play at two different levels in SY. This is why the question was asked. Most players and clubs in this position will choose/prefer for the player to play up on their correct grade in school team. See how it all fits togerher now + why grade in school matters? |
Aug kids no different than any other month. Has nothing to do with grades. |
It depends on when the school starts NJ is late Sept and some in NY are Nov. All these players would be eligible to play on grade down teams. Which causes players to be misaligned which makes recruiting 1000x harder especially if you're on a grade down team. This is because college coaches are comparing you against other players in your grade. Not level played in club. |
That's unrelated to Aug kids being no different than any other month. Has nothing to do with grades. |
Its all related and its why you want to play on the correct grade in school team. Time to undrink the kool-aid clubs are feeding you. |
Nah. You need to reread the Outliers by Gladwell. If you believe in the concept of cumulative advantages (and I do) then you'll only see that effect in the younger age groups in a few years at roughly the same rate as you are seeing current Jan to March kids over represented on top teams. The current Jan to March kids already banked their advantages (got extra attention, made top teams, played top comp), so they'll be fine. It's the late spring and summer babies that are most at risk. |

College recruiting unrelated to age groups of players.
People shouldn't feel coerced into making a bad decision based on one person's self profiting made up beliefs. Don't take my word for it. From a club, https://www.eastsidefc.org/agegroups Will this impact college recruiting? The new two-year age group structure will not negatively impact college recruiting. College coaches evaluate players based on their performance, development, and potential—not the exact age grouping of their club team. |
You should be more worried about the bearded euros taking your kid's spot before someone that happens to be 6 months older because of an age change in 2026. Smh |
Or the transfer portalers... |
