This is actually quite helpful for other clubs. The transition plan laid out in the announcement makes a lot of sense.

Directly from your link...

Benefits of This Change:

This change aligns players with their school-grade peers.
Allows more children to play with friends in their school-year cohort.
Grouping players by school year can lead to more appropriate development opportunities.

Here and I thought it was Seasonal Year....

Hmmm... Sure seems to imply that clubs intend to group players by grade in school. Which means Aug birthdays will play with their grade.

Oh my god, this Aug clown is back, and cannot read at all.

In the same link:
Is registration based on your grade in school?

A: No it is still based on your date of birth to determine the age group you will play. A child held back a year in school, will not be impacted.

What does this even mean.

"A child held back in school, will not be impacted"

I think what they're saying is that a trapped player under BY that was held back will still play with their current team. Because theyre more eligible to play down a grade 8/1-7/31.

So stupid.

Considering your reading capability, you don’t need to understand that sentence afterwards. Just try to understand what ‘No’ mean in English.

Considering your IQ, no need to ask what it means. Please try hard to understand what ‘NO’ means in English.

Its over. Grades don't factor and leagues and clubs have locked in the rules for next year. 8/1-7/31.

Also illuminative ...

"Q: Can players play up an age group?

A: As always, Arlington Soccer will allow for flexibility when appropriate based on skill, maturity, individual and team needs. These will generally be rare cases and not the norm."

So, basically just the really good players, like now. I guess it's vague that grade could be considered BUT this really says not grade alone.

Perhaps critical is Arlington is in Virginia and the cut-off is Sep 30 -- making 2 months potentially misaligned. Interesting they don't address this in the FAQ.

Q: How does this affect my player if they’re born in August–December?

A: These players are most likely to shift age groups.

Q: Can players play up an age group?

A: As always, Arlington Soccer will allow for flexibility when appropriate based on skill, maturity, individual and team needs. These will generally be rare cases and not the norm.
