You’re the only one that is obviously commenting on your own posts. No thinks Aug kids should play up. |
My kids bday is in December 2011 8th grade there are an Aug/Sept 2011 on her team that are 9th already. It doesn’t effect my kid either way but my daughters coach who’s the 11 and 12 team coach has already told all 3 girls and parents they will join his 11/12 ECNL team next year. |
Grades not a thing of course. |
Aug kids shouldn't play up, they should play on age regardless of grade because clubs school isn't school soccer. |
Ridiculious, nobody has issues with players playing on the correct grade B team. |
Next Spring or Next season? My kid's coach told all Q3/Q4 the same thing, but she did not remember Next "What". |
It depends on when your school district starts. If it starts in 8/1 then what the coach said makes sense. It will be interesting to see if they stick with this placement for next season when/if theres a player playing down a grade. In this situation the coach is taking a player playing in the correct grade and forcing them to play on an incorrect grade team. Most clubs wont do this because it will screw the player when theyre older and recruiting for college. |
Playing up to play on the 2nd team and won't happen. If you can't be in the top 4-5 of the top team one year up, you would play on age. As it has always been. |
It will totally happen. Nobody cares who plays on the B team. |
This is just ignorant. |
No one is going to police what grade someone is in and what age they were allowed to start school. In Virginia you can start school as long as you turn 5 before 9/30. Under this nonsense proposal should all August and September birthdays in Virginia be required to play up instead of with their age cohort? |
| Haha... I can see Karen ratting out some poor kid as a "late starter".... Club is so toxic... wow. |
So though no fault of the player clubs are going to screw them into playing on a grade down team. Which will result in them being unrecruitable when theyre older |
You have no idea how catty and toxic soccer Karens are. Ive seen things that would make you laugh because of how ridiculous they are and cry at the same time because of how petty and deranged they are. Mostly I feel bad for the kids in this situation. |
Some just want to play in the top league when possible. College recruiting is a 2nd thought. That is why you have so many biobanding players play 2 grades down to cheat, because they cannot play in MLS team in their own age group. |
