That make sense, because MLS Academies don’t play MLS Next 2. |
The RAE cultists are annoying |
What’s RAE means? |
rae = relative age effect It's a convenient excuse for parents looking for excuses. |
This folks is why we are almost to 1000 pages. |
I agree rae is like a super excuse that can be used for anyhting. |
Denying RAE is like denying that the Earth is flat. It’s impressive how some Q1’s parents join the cult of flat-earthers to skip admitting the loss of privilege of their kids. 😊 |
Yeah the BY crazies will say “my Jan child is the same developmentally as a Dec child, my child performs better because they work harder….” But then the BY crazies will start foaming of the mouth when you mention that the age groups are changing….I wonder why…. |
And guess what? If you do SY with a single cutoff date not something like SY+60 theres still trapped players. Which means they entire reason for switching to SY doesn't make sense. Either solve the problem so everyone in a certain grade can play together or dont and if you dont allow everyone to play you might as well just stay BY. SY without a 60 day accommodation so all players in a cerain grade nationwide can play on the same grouping just creates more issues and makes things more confusing. As I've said before most BY people are indifferent to SY. They just think if youre changing to SY to address trapped players you should address ALL trapped players nationwide (ie SY+60) so issue goes away entirely. |
Annoying? Yes. Correct? Again, yes. What is really annoying is that the federation has done nothing to address RAE. Hopefully some leagues will stay BY so April-August kids get a chance to shine somewhere. |
SY minus 60 days is really just GY though and this was not a goal of US Soccer for youth leagues which is why they are allowing 8-1, 9-1 or 1-1 for leagues. |
This is the issue with rae. If you're the type looking for a way to make yourself a victim rae is just too easy. |
SY+60 is grade year without the regrades + holdbacks. Which is what everyone really wants. Being able to group by grade in school would make things easy. But the problem is the regraders + homeschoolers who want their 16 year old freshman to play against 14 year olds. |
Ahhh... Now SY+60 makes sense. It should be called GY without the cheaters. |
