They'll complain to the DOC and if he ignores them they'll go to a club that doesnt allow Aug birthdays play down. Once a club loses 2-3 top players because of losers playing down they'll ban the practice.

If a kid can't compete with an Aug kid in their age group, they're not a top player on the team.

I understand that some months ago MLSN would push for remaining BY, but now it's clear that they have lost the battle.

So if they don't want to lose the market war against USCS/ECNL/USYS/etc they'd better join SY.

Nobody in MlS is worried losing the market war to ECNL. Sorry

Tell the college coaches that.

Watch them roll on the floor laughing.

Except what about the kid who has a October bday but in the higher grade? Or the June kid who's in a lower grade? The only rule there'll be is Aug-July. Everything else will be individual where people will look for best opportunity for their kid, including finding the best situation if they're good enough to compete for a college opportunity.

Split hairs all you want.

A player playing down a grade is unrecruitable for college coaches. Its this simple. Either you play on a team with your grade or you wont play in college. If you dont intend to play in college please inform your coach so they can replace you with someone that wants to play in college.

Not true. Recruiting is highly individual. Kids who are misaligned sometimes need to put in some extra work to make sure coaches know what grade they are in, but it doesn't mean they aren't seen OR recruited. They are, especially if they got the skills. You gotta also remember it's not just top leagues where kids are seen. Kids go to college camps and ID sessions. This change from BY to SY will lessen the grade misalignment but it will continue to exist as will the workarounds as kids see college opportunities.

What college coach would ever choose to roster a player thats playing against players that are a grade below them in school. They literally recruit 24 year old euro acadamy washouts.

This is the dumbest comment Ive ever seen.

It's literally what they do now. Go to any ECNL team webpage, you'll see players with 2 grades and 2 grades that go to top level schools. That won't change.

I have to give this poster credit - they refuse to see reality but double/triple/quadruple down on stupidity.

12 month window - no one cares about grades. DONE!

They are winning in many markets for sure but that doesn't mean they can just coast and forget about competitors. They were winning the direct battle against ECNL before and I think they will continue that by just switching to SY like everyone else and continue winning. It makes no sense for them to take their foot off the gas now and give ECNL an out. I don't think they care about what BY or SY enough to be emotionally invested in it.

Those players are playing up stupid.

You're arguring for Aug birthdays to play DOWN.

College coaches will ignore them because they're playing DOWN.

Its more than that. MLS wants to appear professional to do this they need to run their environments like all the other pro leagues and teams do. Which is likely why BY will stay for the top teams.

You realize kids graduate on different timelines regardless of birth month. Top level recruits now even enter college the spring before they normally would to get a head start. It's highly individual. And frankly, if a Aug kid who's a HS freshmen, shines on a team with mostly 8th graders next, they shine on that video highlight reel just the same.

I am here only to check the Aug clown to entertain us everyday for free. Thanks for making this thread the hottest over years.

Then why are they recruiting Jan b-days now? Because those teams have kids in a lower grade. Mixing of grades won't change under the new system.
