Yeah, homeschool/virtual school can be a beautiful thing. |

Fine, that works for me. Your kid would be playing on the correct grade in school team. |
Checking the thread for what’s new after 2 weeks. This Aug AI bot is still pumping this thread. sad. |
In America, and welcome, it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with what the PP is doing because they can do anything they want within the rules. |
Within the rules is SY 8/1-7/31 with a rule that youger players must play on. a team thats their grade. If your Homeschooler fits in the eligibility window no issues. |
See how it works you can try to scam the system with homeschooling but it wont let your kid play on a younger team.
|
We don't get to make up our own fake rules. Post a link for the forcing kids to play up or drop it. |
Nope tough guy. Either way clubs will group A teams with players that are all a single grade. They'll do this because it will help players to get recruited which is free advertising for the club. |
No, you will be very upset when you see your kid’s team next summer. You can quit if you don’t like it. |
Opinions carry weight when you provide evidence, otherwise it's just pissing in the wind. Not forcing players up. |
Prove that having Aug Sept birthdays play on a team A or B thats their grade is bad in any way. BTW all your USNT RAE info is garbage because it doesnt take into account development that occurs on a B team with players multiple ages and skill sets. |
Not available, Playing up is a coaching and technical decision based primarily on the player’s skill level, soccer maturity, and overall development needs. |
Oh, it's bad for the age group players who have to play potentially with kids not at their level. That doesn't help their development potentially AND could hurt the team competitively. Of course, maybe they'll be just bench players. Can't wait for the soccer moms to face that and realize maybe their kid should play on age. |
Unless the B team plays in the same league, 9x out of 10, the B team sees much slower play and may get a coach who isn't as qualified. Typically, when tryout times comes around, the most competitive clubs don't draw from that B team. They look to pull in from the outside. Best B team players then look to leave if they can or maybe they quit, except for the ones who truly love to play and who may stay, especially as they play in HS. That's reality. Still, seeing the dreams die, it could be a country ballad. |
