They usually do. We parents are all going under the assumption that they will.

Your response makes it seem like you parents are making a decision based on whether they will or not. Does it matter to you parents if they do or not?

Not really. It'd be nice to move into tiers and have more competitive games, but it won't affect any decisions.

Interesting. Any idea what the top division will look like? Ponce Eagles? Herndon Black?

Both Bethesda South teams. Maybe Arlington.

Arlington Blue?? Their 3rd team? Are you thinking of some other team? Takoma Park Black maybe. SYC Blue.

yeah I though that is how all u9 and u10 ages are playing, is that not the case ?

It is not the case and it really needs to be implemented. It's so frustrating to seem coaches encouraging marking tight on goal kicks. The only think the GK can do is boot it. Punting should be banned (and bring back heading). If you coach encourages punting and marking tight on goal kicks, ask him/her why? It should be stopped.

The buildout line is part of a group of U.S. Soccer mandates that officially go into effect in fall 2017. Some parts of them (age groups) have been implemented this year.

I hate that my kids are too old and will miss it. Saw some really dreary U9 games that were nothing but bad goal kicks. Yay, development!

My kid is U10 this year and usually plays this way so that's why I thought it was already being used widely, I started seeing games with the build out lines last spring. The team is encouraged to play out of the back and keep possession so the new rules help reinforce some of that.

Our club only plays out of the back/possession style too. We play the long-ball teams that punt to the goal all of the time. The long kicks seem to be the style of most clubs. Once the possession gets good though-these clubs are running around playing chase. The punts/long balls win early on, but don't educate/develop the players properly.

Looking at younger ages U9-U11. One of the biggest problems is how teams mark so tightly on goal kicks. Often the only decision for the GK is to punt the ball because that's where the space is. However, there are some clubs that, even if you implement a build out line, they will still punt. What I don't understand is why doesn't the club/parents stop this? Honestly, I couldn't put my son on a team that plays this way. Where is the development? People have to understand that kids will make mistakes in the back and to let it go if it happens. Focus on quality of play at the younger ages.

Arlington Blue is the best team I've seen in their division, which doesn't include Takoma Park. It includes SYC Orange, which was also very good.

Re: punts. It's the CCL-way.

How is this lobbying?! (not my post). The NCSL is not coming here and ranking teams on these comments idiot! My kid's team played SYC too and got destroyed. SYC is doing some incredible work.

99.9% of the time---posts like these are from parents boasting about their children. Some coaches/board members in these Clubs have their own children playing in the other Club mentioned. See how it works? Rah-rah!

RE: NCSL question. Not OP here, but Good Heavens, give the guy a break for asking a simple question. Yes, they will tier at U11B in the spring. Scores are not being published on the website, but are being tracked. Fall has been an embarrassment of lopsided matches in several divisions. Spring will the chance to get it right.

Embarrassment is right. Ridiculous lopsided games that we all predicted. Can't wait for spring!
