We know if we stay where we are at our child will play up but if we move clubs then we are looking at likely having to play the same year twice unless the club makes an exception. It seems very unfair.

It can get even weirder...

Currently in BY Aug-Dec birthdays are playing up a grade at a higher level team. When leagues switch BY to SY most Aug-Dec birthdays will play on a team thats their grade in school.

However some Aug/Sept birthdays depending on when they started school will go from playing up a grade to playing down a grade on team with players a year younger then they are in school. Imagine that situation you're not repeating the season youre repeating the season twice.

Aug and Sept kids just won the RAE lottery and know have a better chance of playing in college as they will become the oldest in an age group. Best leagues, best teams, best coaches, best positions, best positive feedback and most min. Enjoy it.

Their grade in school hasn't changed in BY or SY. Aug-Dec birthdays are either the oldest in their grade or the youngest

In BY Aug-Dec birthdays play up.

In SY most Aug-Dec birthdays will play with their grade but some play down a grade depending on when they started school.

Travel soccer goes by age not grade. Oldest will be August and September, they are in the driver's seat to be the oldest and reap the rewards if they work hard and don't butcher things.

If they're looking to play in college you'll want to be on a team thats your grade in school.

You are trying to scare one August girl on your daughter's team. You have no proof of what you say.

College coaches recruit from good teams bad teams foreign kids whatever. It is happening now and will continue.

Heck, teams around here won't let most kids who are real good play up so trying to play up when not good enough is against club's policies.

Social media, highlights, interest in team, Id sessions, Showcases are part of being recruited.

Find a college recruiting guide that advises playing up an age group as necessary to be recruited before you tell others of your nonsense.

This will not apply to league play or nationals.

Grade doesnt change.

Aug-Dec players in BY were playing up a grade. Now they're gong to play with the correct grade. Except for a few Aug / Sept birthdays that might play down a grade. (which is just stupid)

If Aug / Sept players play down a grade in SY then switch over to MLSN1 with BY they'll have to face biobanders 3 grades older. If Aug / Sept players play their grade in SY then switch over to MLSN1 with BY biobanders will "only" be 2 grades older. This is all relative to the level players are used to facing.

Another reason to not play down in SY.

Travel soccer doesn't allow playing down accept for MLSN Biobanding. And those kids still a solid chance to play in college.

As the oldest, August players have the highest chance to play in college under SY.
