Don't be so sure. It's the better system and there are a lot of advocates for it. |

| One of the problems is that every state has different school cut-off dates. So no matter what you choose, there are always going to be kids that are not in the "right" age group for their school year. Even the 8/1-7/31 doesn't correctly capture the cut-off date in NOVA, which is 9/30. |

| I am glad it changed. This essentially blacked all the red shirter parents looking forward an edge. You has sometimes variations if almost two years in a grade. Now it is 12 months no matter where is is. Tired of parents who try every angle. I am sure they are still upset that they were had. |

| US Soccer is currently deciding the best time to switch it back. They don't know if it will be 2021 or 2022 but they are going to do it. Reasons: I don't know but i am going to bet the lack of participation and the money being lost. |

This is exciting news for 7 year old rec players who didn't need to follow birth year anyway. |

| It will be interesting for the December birthdays. DD loves her team, they do very well, but she is the only one one her team would would be effected. It's a small club and the teams a year below aren't very good, so I think we'd have to move on if she couldn't play up. I don't think our situation is unique. The first situation wreaked havoc with clubs like ours, this would too. Then again, I don't think US soccer cares about small clubs |

Why would they play up? They don't like the they're on. They've always wanted to be the grade year team. :/ |
