USYS is going graduation year for showcases. Nobody holding kids back for exhibitions. |
August births will be fine, they are the oldest. It will be toughest for the youngest months, May, June and July. Focusing on August births is a red herring, as they will be doing after to play as the oldest and the will be a position to excel, grade is irrelevant. |
What's a grade in school team? Never seen one If you're at a showcase hoping to be discovered, you as a player and your parents failed in doing their legwork |
You have no clue how college recruiting at clubs and leagues works. Aug birthdays playing down are at a serious disadvantage. |
Maybe Arlington cam help you. They ask for all travel players grade in school during tryouts. |
| The August birthday thing is the most made-up non existent make-believe so-called problem I've ever seen 😅 |
So? They also said you're going to play in your age group |
False. They are the oldest, so RAE increases their odds of going further. And college coaches said to clubs and on Facebook that they don't care ages of recruits. Heck your chart had August as the highest month to play male pro and Dec as the lowest. Only a fool would believe you and want their kid to unnecessarily play up, get discarded and quit the sport. |
Mr Aug poster from Socal is a squeaky wheel. His flailing because noise for everyone else here on DCUM. July is the problem like December was the problem. |
RAE is about early physical bloomers getting selected to teams over smaller late bloomers, before puberty Pull any roster of all the USYNTs in every age group and Q1 and Q2 are the most represented. You can't argue against the evidence. Nowhere is there any scientific study that shows Q3 with highest youth representation. Some guy in his basement created some chart showing August with the most representation is being beyond creative and artistic |

Rage posting about RAE I see.
Your super excuse for anything. |
Neither of your sentences make sense |
The UK has high Q3 in top players and so did the US national youth teams under SY and was ironically a main reason to go to BY. Your belligerence is too obvious. When they say "Relative Age Effect (RAE) is a phenomenon where individuals born just after a strict age-cutoff date (e.g., Jan 1 for sports, Sept 1 for school) hold long-term, systemic advantages over younger peers in the same cohort." To think that every RAE effect has to be around Jan 1 is too stupid. |
Did you call Q1 in England Q3? 😂😂😂🤣🤣 England uses August 31st as age cutoff so January isn't Q1 for them sheesh |
What's the evidence of this? Sadly, people like to make things up on this board to stir the pot and advance their own argument. Does someone have a link? |
