Pretty funny no one is saying the same thing about the 6 months of players playing down right now!

Everyone agrees.

The issue is some Aug birthday player parents want to choose to play down a grade. The parent logic is my Aug birthday kid can be the youngest on a team with players their grade. Or they can be the oldest on a team with players a grade younger.

With littles it doesnt matter people only care about wins. With olders it 1000% matters because playing down a grade makes players unrecruitable for college.

In the end it's better to not allow playing down a grade. Because it solves issues before they become issues.

This is probably the dumbest take. I can’t tell if you’re being serious. I hope not.

Seriously you should stop embarrassing yourself with these kind of comments.

This like the 10th you tried to win by saying "stop embarrassing yourself." You are the issue.

Everyone gets that you want special rules to help your girl, heck that is the mantra of the age change and this thread.

But the fact that you don't get that you are defining a problem that people don't agree is a problem with a solution that is a can of worms for your own selfish benefit is startling.

You are not a human rights advocate, you are just biased.

Hi, Aug man, are you the same person as the SY + 30 man? Yes or no?

I think the Aug man is lying, he has a Aug hold back kid that don’t want the other normal Aug kids to be on the same team😄

So you've chosen to continue embarrassing yourself.

Please answer Aug man, are you the same person as the SY + 30 man? Yes or no? Can you be honest once?

Whats your Grade?

Do you want to play in College?

If they don't want to play in college they don't need to play in top club leagues.

If they do want to play in college they need to align with there grade.... MLSN, NL, RL, NPL, Select, Rec or whatever team they can make.

Another way to address this is for leagues to implement a rule that says "When given the option players must play on the team that's predominately their grade in school". Do this and all issues go away.

That gets us on the path to an eventual grad year method. Which we should all be against.

What should happen is a 12 month window and players play their age group or play up based on their skill level and what the player and parents think is best for them.

No it's SY with an 8/1-7/31 eligibility window with a rule that says players must play with their own grade. The differnce between this version of SY and GY is holdbacks arent allowed. You get the best of both worlds. Players are aligned 99% by grade and holdbacks are allowed to play down. This maximizes club profits and makes recruiters happy.

This argument so reminds me of SY-30 guy, like he gave up on that but now is on this.

Agree it is one guy. We need to stop responding to his posts

Completely agree, its 1 guy that's making up people that he apparently doesn't agree with. Weird and pathetic.

Let’s switch topics. Anyone with updated rumours whether MLSN joins ECNL and rest of country in the SY age cutoff?

All just rumors (likely made up) at this point. MLSN hasn't hinted or implied that they plan to do anything.

SY+30 is fundamentally different than this guy's argument. Creating an exception which the person using it views as beneficial is very different than forcing a mandate that creates a percieved hardship.
