For example, a good ECRL player that may not be able to move up to ECNL next season. This type of player would just stay on his team next season and would technically be playing up.

I assume the club will have the August - December boys train with teams of different levels in the spring to finish populating teams prior to open try outs in May.

Thats an interesting conundrum but if the good ECRL player Q4 kid still cant make the ECNL team in his new age group, why not play RL in his new age group? Why stay with the RL team a year up? Do we think that is better from a player development perspective?

This is a possibility. But its always been a possibility because nobody has an issue with players playing up.

The more obvious problem situation is Aug birthday players in BY playing with their correct grade. Will these players be forced to play on a grade down SY team?

What about Sept and Oct birthdays?

Could go either way.

If players are older and the team is winning most likely they'll keep everything as is.

If the playera are younger it will be like every season when teams are shuffled after tryouts.

It won't go either way. All players (with rare exceptions just like now) will play in their new age grouping. Just like now. Excepting of course for small-time clubs. All of this talk about about players deciding to play up, or coaches talking about keeping certain players up (or teams up) will all disappear as evals and tryouts roll around. It is just lip service to keep parents calm and from coaches who don't even get to make the decisions.

My daughter’s coach (MVLA) told us they plan on allowing current Aug-Dec players within the club to stay up. However that will be something they determined fully after tryouts.

They're doing this because they know olders parents are already conditioned to making payments on time. If the team is winning don't mess with success and keep cashing the checks. In 3-4 years all the olders BY teams will have aged out so it won't matter.

Whats wrong? One of the top clubs in the country saying that they'll probabaly leave established BY teams alone not aligning with what you thought would happen?

well.
Agreed + the more they comment the more obvious it becomes. Honestly I think competitive soccer is just making them crazy. Their kid likely turned out to be a dud so now they're on a mission to get revenge on anything they can. Don't worry, they're kicking and screaming now but eventually they'll either get bored of it all or their kid will quit or age out. Seen it multiple times.

Not PP but I fully expected clubs to mislead existing players and then demoted a bunch after tryouts. And a bunch are going to voluntarily go down to lock in top teams anyway. Existing teams will not exist. That's what it seems from the comment.

You're talking about a top 10 team in the nation at multiple age groups. This is not a B team or Town team. They've spent years recruiting and developing talent. Do you really think they'd just replace trapped players on winning teams with unknowns?

You're right but I think whats going on is you're going back anf forth with multiple youngers parents. They just cant comprehend how things work with olders or top in the nation teams.

Instead of going back with a few comments I’ll just leave it here. Nobody in my area calls the club by its full name and only as (MVLA) which is an ECNL club in California.

My club coach did not say they are keeping everyone up with BY teams only that they will not force anyone down they will allow the tryout process dictate who plays on what teams.

Yes 100% There is pressure at each age group to make adjustments. People have short memories and this will be water under the bridge come next fall. Those players are getting bumped by #1) New money coming into the club #2) players from the older age group coming down & #3) by any hungry new player who is better that the coach likes... travel soccer is ruthless like that, those kids might stay, but the club & coach will likely move them all down and replace them.

He said the tricky situation is when an Aug - December kid is doing well on his current team but there may not be enough room for him in the higher level team in his new age category. For example, a good ECRL player that may not be able to move up to ECNL next season. This type of player would just stay on his team next season and would technically be playing up.

I assume the club will have the August - December boys train with teams of different levels in the spring to finish populating teams prior to open try outs in May.

Thats an interesting conundrum but if the good ECRL player Q4 kid still cant make the ECNL team in his new age group, why not play RL in his new age group? Why stay with the RL team a year up? Do we think that is better from a player development perspective?

This is a possibility. But its always been a possibility because nobody has an issue with players playing up.

The more obvious problem situation is Aug birthday players in BY playing with their correct grade. Will these players be forced to play on a grade down SY team?

What about Sept and Oct birthdays?

Could go either way.

If players are older and the team is winning most likely they'll keep everything as is.

If the playera are younger it will be like every season when teams are shuffled after tryouts.

It won't go either way. All players (with rare exceptions just like now) will play in their new age grouping. Just like now. Excepting of course for small-time clubs. All of this talk about about players deciding to play up, or coaches talking about keeping certain players up (or teams up) will all disappear as evals and tryouts roll around. It is just lip service to keep parents calm and from coaches who don't even get to make the decisions.

My daughter’s coach (MVLA) told us they plan on allowing current Aug-Dec players within the club to stay up. However that will be something they determined fully after tryouts.

You say MVLA like that means anything. No one knows what you are talking about.

I think you're lieing but whatever. Their teams are listed as "Mountain View Los Altos Soccer Club" in the ranking app.

Ugh thinks everyone is lying… what a sourpuss.

Whats wrong? One of the top clubs in the country saying that they'll probabaly leave established BY teams alone not aligning with what you thought would happen?

Not PP but I fully expected clubs to mislead existing players and then demoted a bunch after tryouts. And a bunch are going to voluntarily go down to lock in top teams anyway. Existing teams will not exist. That's what it seems from the comment.

You're talking about a top 10 team in the nation at multiple age groups. This is not a B team or Town team. They've spent years recruiting and developing talent. Do you really think they'd just replace trapped players on winning teams with unknowns?

Yes 100% There is pressure at each age group to make adjustments. People have short memories and this will be water under the bridge come next fall. Those players are getting bumped by #1) New money coming into the club #2) players from the older age group coming down & #3) by any hungry new player who is better that the coach likes... travel soccer is ruthless like that, those kids might stay, but the club & coach will likely move them all down and replace them.

You are just stubbornly stupid.

Where are you going to find a replacement for a USWNT pipeline trapped BY player?

Everyone sees it but you.
