Jan-July players in SY leagues will feel pressure to play up as a way to stand out from the crowd and get noticed by MLSN1 coaches. Aug-Dec will feel pressure to play up just to be a part of the crowd that gets considered by MLSN1 coaches.

Which in the end works out for everyone because playing with your grade early sets players up for being looked at by college recuiters when they're older.

FYI, teams are blocking playing up an age group. And your knowledge of MLSN1 recruiting matches your knowledge of college recruiting.

Not sure how you turned the original comment into an irrelevant opportunity for you to try to helicopter for your girl and try to make Sept the oldest but it is the only thing you can see.

Hahahaha the reason your ECNL leaders said they dont want players playing up is because if this happens a lot it weakens leagues and boys ECNL cements itself as tier 2.

But, if playing on a BY MLSN1 team is what everyone is going for. Everyone in a SY league will consider playing up.

It's not allowed.

You can always play up, so it's allowed. But you just have to be really, really good.

Hes just blowing a fuse because the reality of Aug birthdays playing by grade ts starting to dawn on him.

The only reality I see is grade is a factor for some but not for others and the clubs are rolling with it.

Also, if Aug-Dec SY players dont play up when they switch over to MLSN1 BY they'll be playing against biobanders 3 levels above them.

Hahahaha, I never thought about that.

Young Aug players will have to play with their grade not down with a younger team if they want to get recruited and play for a BY MLSN HG team.

Aug-Dec might as well stay playing on age and in Sy because of RAE rather than sitting on an MLSN1 BY bench as the youngest on the team.

Give it up, MLSN1 coaches will know a trojan horse when they see it.

Then Aug-Dec might as well stay playing on age and in Sy because of RAE rather than sitting on an MLSN1 BY bench as the youngest on the team.

Perfect 👌 and get ignored by MLSN1 coaches. People know that you're looking to skirt the rules.

If kids want MLSN1, they will go to a few practices with team as a tryout. Doesn't matter where they are coming from.

Besides, this has nothing to do with you just hating that August girl because she is better than your girl because it is boys soccer.

Keep trying.

The Aug players that want to get recruited will play with their grade. There might be slightly different reasons for doing it but overall the best players that want to get recruited and play on the best teams will play with their grade.

Also the best teams will filter out the Aug birthdays playing down. Its just a waste of time to have oddballs that arent like the rest of the team. As players get older being the biggest and oldest matters less and less. Might as well play with your grade so you're not an oddball and can't get recruited to play in college.

Can't wait for the top team profiles to all show the same graduating year. Unfortunately you'll find and cling onto a couple of oddball examples.which people will track for a couple of years only to find out thet they either started playing with their grade or got into a lower level college that doesnt matter.

instead of going through all the nonsense just put your Aug birthday kid on the correct grade team from a young age and let them develop correctly.

Dude, playing with grade means not playing MLSN1 or playing up for 90% of kids. Read what you write before you invent a reason to slam August players following the rules and making smart decisions that you can't fathom.

You can always play up, so it's allowed. But you just have to be really, really good.

Finding a team to allow playing up a year on boys side for 99% isn't possible. Girls is less competitive.

This is competitive soccer. The top teams control the leagues. The players parents and coaches fron the top teams will make grade in school a part of the decision process for the teams they play on / coach. It all works together.

In BY the trapped players are playing up. These are 100% the kind of players college coaches want to recruit. They know they can play with older players and instantly contribute.

No way MLSN1 has more kids playing up, they are staying BY. More likely they use Biobanding more to recruit Q4s so more playing down not up.

I appreciate the littles 7v7 report.

When your kid gets older getting recruited to play in college takes over which is why if your kid was born in Aug they should play on a team thats their grade asap. Don't let clubs steal your kids long term potential by playing them down for short term wins.

If by data you mean months of the year you are stupidly wrong.

In BY you cant play down and Aug-Dec birthdays play up a grade.

Sorry dude, I'm reporting about 11v11. Funny thing is those who want it about grade aren't about college recruiting. It's more about playing with friends. The ones interested in college still -- they are after the A team and the platform it provides.

100% reality for the parents of potential MLS Next Homegrown players.

Your kid must play for a seriously lower level club.
