Good thing they are using strict age band for teams then. |
What does Club Travel Soccer have to do with school grade if its entirely based on Calendar Birth Year? |
If grade in school is completely independent from club soccer then why change from BY to SY? |
MLS Next isn't changing |
SY is just what we call it because it starts near when school starts. They are both 12 month windows. One starts on Jan 1 (BY) and the other on Aug 1 (SY). Otherwise there is no difference. People like the window where their kid is one of the older ones. |
What school paperwork did you sign for your kid to play travel club soccer? |
What about all that "school grade cohort" nonsense that was used to justify switching to SY. You speak from both sides of your mouth and it gets old. |
Apparently Arlington just sent a request for players grade in school to parents. Does that count? Seems like it would. https://arlingtonsoccer.com/programs/travel/age-group-transition |
Nope. Doesn't count. When Arlington asks for the players school to provide documentation or vice versa, as a condition to play, then Club soccer is tied to Schools |
So they just want to know players grade in school for no reason. You know, just because. Come on drop the facade and face reality. |
Please create your own thread OR at least share what your kid's club is saying about the transition (the point of this thread). |
Please shut up. I already have. https://arlingtonsoccer.com/programs/travel/age-group-transition |
Arlington is pretty clear that the date window 8/1-7/31 is the main determinant for age groups. Doesn't say anything close to forcing kids to play up based on grade. |
“Trapped.” Drama Queen. |
But yet they just sent out an email to parents asking what grade their kid is in school. Hmmmm.... |
