Something to consider is that GA can sanction players as well.

If US Soccer stands firm on BY this could split youth soccer into 2 different ways players play the sport.

Yes. A split would be awesome.
We need more division because youth soccer is doing too well in America

That will throw a wrench in the game.
clubs with ECNL/MLS Next have some choices to make.

And then US Soccer releases NWSL Next as BY.

What does GA sanctioning players mean?

Why would it matter if girls under one system and boys another at a club?

Sanctioning means GA maintains is all the paperwork and info needed for a leagues players to play. This is used for insurance and etc etc etc.

DPL apparently uses USSSA for this
ECNL uses US Club Soccer for this
GA was given the power to sanction themselves or other teams that want to use them.

Why would it matter if girls under one system and boys another at a club?

It doesn't.

But it would be a small amount of extra work for clubs.

2 different systems will be a logistical nightmare

Your kid won't change nor will you.
BY or SY makes no difference.

Discussions are happening no doubt about it.
But some folks are passing it off as it is 100% solidified because of the podcast.

Nothing is set in stone until USS says so.

ECNL podcast said the USS Federation has some influence on switch but there is a question on how much authority they have. Doesn't seem like USS writes in stone.

They have one registration for boys and one for girls now and MSI and DCSC have entire leagues and teams under different systems. This is app/software solvable pretty easily.

Couple people already agree with you, a split system could address the relative age effect and advance youth soccer.

Is the reason they would make the switch to change kids?

Yes, but I think we need another 5000 page thread though to really hammer out the implications.
