Soccer
There no playing down on the girls side when you have a 12 month window. No one is arguing for grad year!? Your comments about pushing kids to play with their correct grade aligns more with GY than kids playing sighing their 12 month window. |
Within their 12 month window. |
Integrity of youth soccer!? lol there’s more important battles to be fight then trying to force August kids to play up. Where was your integrity when the switched to BY and mixed the grades up the last 7 years? You must be the most anti BY person on here and have been protesting in the streets everyday. You’re a joke. |
Glad they're getting out all the rage here instead of somewhere else. I'm not sure how they can continue to argue a completely bogus point for 0 reason with 0 people on board. |
| There is no such thing as playing "down" when its a birthdate based system. Unless a child is playing rec soccer and is developmentally disabled. |
| Man this thread really went bananas again.... |
Except it'll be more than Aug players that won't be with their grade. A lot of kids mostly born from June-Nov will be in grades above and below, based on factors other than sports. That's why it makes the most sense to have the 12-month window with parents empowered to perhaps play up an age group if the kid is good enough. |
It's literally one poster and it'd be nice if they were banned, but I'm not going to go back and report each one. |
I agree with this. If player is good enough to play on the A team with their grade they should play on that team. However if the player is not good enough to play on the A team with their grade they should play on the B team with their grade. Playing down a grade is just nonsense. |
You didn't understand what they wrote and went down your own rabbit hole...again. |
|
IF this actually happened, parents on the older team will complain to no end about having add a player who's younger and only on the team because of their grade. Not really a solution. Why do that when you can just follow the 12 month window? |
I agree. Opinions about age changes aside, the name calling and tone is just gross. This person is everything wrong with youth sports. |

My kid plays up in age group and grade - always has - and starts and has consistently been the top scorer for years. I'm not looking for a workaround or loophole...I'm simply asking you what your issue is. nothing changes from the current system to the new system when it comes to an August player and a September player as stated above. both players play on the same team today and will play on the same team next fall. that is what i'm asking you. i'm not looking for a loophole. |
