They play down a year from what they are currently playing. So a december 2011 will join the january 2012s.

My August 2012 will likely quit if she’s force to play with younger kids. No plans for college so will just do a different sport.

Thats very silly.
She can choose to play "up" or play with her own grade.

So weird to me why all these leagues won’t just make it HS graduation year. Clean and simple.

This has been explained ad nauseum. They don't want hold backs. This aligns with most grades (not all I know!!!!). It's still just a strict 12 months to better align with most grades (again not all!)

She can only “choose” what her club offers. Especially if there’s a strong 2011 moving down.

She plays because she likes her teammates, not because she’s got a passion for soccer.

And?

And? If it was to make a change, then make it to fix the issue. This does not solve it and still leaves kids trapped. Go grade year or allow each state to be based on their state's enrollment cut-off. Works great for some states, not for others.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

It's ok to quit soccer, she is at a popular age to to move on.

It avoids hold backs. It is actually a smarter way to do it.

Why would she not like the new teammates? It’s good to get used to changing your surroundings and making new friends. It happens all the time in school, going to college, new jobs.

Isn't it at least the same grade? If not, I think you could make a decent case to stay with the current team BUT your kid has to be good enough ability wise to remain.
