There will be no change for the coming 2025/26 seasonal year (begins August 1, 2025).
Starting in the fall of 2026, members and leagues will have reasonable flexibility to choose the best registration option for their participants.

Stop it. Lol.

Is there some kind of conspiracy group of “M” states?

This is the first thing posted here that seems legit. Sounds like utter chaos and further fragmentation. Well done, US Soccer!

Maybe. But it might not end up that fragmented if only MLS chooses BY. This could help RAE for boys.

Ok, done deal for fall 2026. Guess this threads over.

Made myself laugh at least

The tables turn again. Where is that guy that posted the stages of grief?

I’m going to bed. Looking forward to my late Q3 2013 pre-ecnl starter daughter shredding U12 next season.

Nothing left for this thread but sarcastic quips and such even keeled, reasonable banter.

No federal guidance but every state decides for themselves. Sounds like we figured out overturning Roe v Wade too. Great solutions

Everyone just do whatever you want. Or let’s delay it a year. Such leadership.

Basically going to switch to SY bc ECNL will switch and GA likely as well.

I know ECNL wants to change this year. Wonder if they do now or wait until 2026.

But your Q1 and Q2 DDs really are the better players . . . .

Can’t wait to see next year’s rosters.

It just makes too much sense for ECNL/RL to go in fall 2025 with a couple of waivers for Aug-Dec players per team as a way to ease into this while seeming to follow the rules.

Not to sock puppet myself, but here is a phased approach.

They will call them 2010s…but will be August 1, 2010 to July 31 2011.
2011s now August 1 2011 to july 31, 2012.

I wouldn’t blame them..you can pull a lot of players if you change first. And change is coming anyways..why ‘waste’ a season when not going to be your team going forward anyways.

I think this is right. They will vote/discuss today but there will be no official announcement.

It is not clear exactly what they are voting on but guessing they are voting to repeal CY listed in previous PDI and getting detailed discussion to leagues. So maybe repeal gets announced but no details on exact school year dates. So debate on details gets to continue for another month.

My guess was half right. CY repealed and discussion kicked to leagues but debate goes on for 12 more months not just a month.

Denial: An early stage where someone might say "BY won't affect us"

Anger: Someone might feel angry because BY won't let them play down for wins

Bargaining: Someone might feel helpless and try to gain a sense of control by focusing on their regrets or personal faults

Depression: A stage of grief

Acceptance: A stage where someone realizes BY is happening and tries to figure out how to move forward

Which stage are all the nutballs holding onto spelling errors as the reason why SY isn't happening.

Hahahahahaha... Free entertainment

I would expect clubs to move Q1 bench players down to B teams for 25-26 and bring in/up bench-caliber Q4 players to be the new bench for a year.
