I’m not sure what leagues do this? Northern California tryouts are in May. |

I think they got rid of it because directors and the leagues hated extra work. Soccer people hate anything that involves helping kids if it means extra work for no additional money. |

Biobanding works with boys when theres a smaller player with skills and big/tall parents. Its fairly obvious that once they hit puberty they're going to get bigger. Puberty with girls is more gradual theres not going to be a huge change in physical attributes. Just doesn't make as much sense for girls. |

So because a girl is really small now they shouldn’t play against competition closer to their same size? But if a boy is small he should because only boys hit puberty later on? I think that’s a dumb argument. My kids isn’t small so wouldn’t qualify but we have a girl who’s tiny could probably play 2 years down and still be regular sized. She gets beat up playing girls who have gone through puberty already. I think girls just don’t want to play younger players they want to play with their teammates. Usually boys don’t care what team they are in boys will just play. |

The excuse for delaying the change had to do with California holding tryouts in December.... fun times |

This is what the site owner said: "This thread has gotten so long that reading it puts a huge load on the server. Therefore, I am going to lock it. Feel free to start a "Part 2" of the thread." |

That was the public excuse the real reason was all the governing bodies had new leagues to implement and get rules in place for and figuring out new age groups on top of it overwhelmed them. This is why it was pushed out to 26/27 and was agreed upon by everyone. Even ECNL they have new leagues also. |

No comp leagues hold tryouts in December other than for rec players to form new teams. |

Ok kids.
From Jeff per a nosy nelly on website feedback: It looks like there are roughly 25 different posters but the discussion is dominated by two, one of which has posted about 25 times and the other about 20 times. So yes, you two need to go to marital counseling, take this offline, whatever if there are about 60 posts on this second forum and you are 50 of them |

Are you the 20 or the 25? |

The math doesn’t add up? If 60 posts And two people equal 45, if 15 people made one comment that’s still 17 people. |

| Also my neighbor brought back some kind of growth hormone drink from Asia that she gives her kids so they can bulk up during sports season. They play soccer. |

Nice. For context, HGH is highly controlled in the US. Good family friends of ours have to give their kid HGH injections as part of the post-chemo treatment for their DD. He said it is highly controlled and hard to get ahold of because of potential abuse. But it wouldn't surprise if both it was derived from Asia and that parents would give it to their kid, thinking its is like a vitamin. |
