Why do you keep making this ish up? |
Its called reality you should try it. |
|
I'll be more clear.
1. Clubs dont want to deal with 9th grade on 8th grade teams who play in HS for 3 months of the season 2. Clubs dont want to deal with parents that are upset because some player is playing down and taking up their kids minutes 3. Clubs want to position players in the best possible light for college recruiting |
These teams have over 20 kids on each team, about one kid per team missing a few games isn't an issue. Clubs don't want a bunch of players playing up on age, they made that clear. Clubs said colleges don't care what age group kids are in. And clubs don't want parents like you, trying to dictate rules that don't exist making their lives tough. |
So if you're an August born player who tries out for a lower grade team, and you're the oldest and one of the best players in the pool, you will be judged only on what grade you are and not how good of a player you are? |
No, clubs don't force kids to play up. Their issue right now is getting kids August - December to all move down an age group and all the chaos that that ensues. They have to be pretty firm on playing on age so they properly adjust to SY from BY. |
This isn't what they said. I can't believe you actually care enough if this isn't your team. Eastside isn't some vanguard that all the other teams are going to follow. Case by case means case by case. |
Yea thats why Eastside FC updated their faq saying that Aug birthdays are free tro try out with their grade in school team. |
They said free to tryout, not forced to try out, not the same. Again, why do you care what Eastside does? Is this is your team, just ask them, if not time to move on. |
I was responding to the person saying if you don't make your grade A team (playing up because you're an August born), then playing on age a grade lower, you will be put on the B team |
Doesn't make any sense. Nobody in youth soccer has announced this or to my knowledge ever done this. They are called age groups for a reason. |
Agreed. I don't think a coaching staff will force August kids playing a grade lower to be on B teams of they are good enough to be on the A team. |
Teams really don't want to normalize playing up, no way they allow it for secondary teams. They need structure for the bulk of the team but flexibility for their top players. Teams have to push down an age group about half their teams. This is their focus to remain competitive. |
Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. If they don't make the A team thats their grade Aug birthdays will have the opportunity to play on the B team thats their age or the B team thats a grade down. |
Players dont get to play up unless very good so not allowed to play up on lower level teams. Club's policy. |
