No incorrect. It has nothing to do with that.

It all depends on when school districts choose to make their cutoff dates. The latest Ive heard is Nov. Which means the most players would need to be is 16 months younger than Aug 1st. There are very few schools like this. 99% of schools start by Sept which would be 14 months younger at most.

Tough break. Mid March and no DC club said they are forcing grade year on August kids only.

It's over. Top teams set.

So you've seen rosters posted? Id love to review players graduating year.

Only ECNL rosters list self reported grade, and many are wrong. Other teams don't bother to know kids grades and don't post. We do know DMV clubs posted that playing up is limited to being related and based on skill not grade.

Ya, players looking to get recruited often enter the wrong graduating year so college coaches will ignore them.

🤣😂🤣😂

Not every kid on ECNL roster cares about recruiting.

Then why play ECNL or GA or MLS or whatever?

It's so obvious that you are a know it all littles parent. (with an agenda to encourage playing down)

Some kids just love to play at the highest level they can and are cool not playing college and just HS.

Too stupid.

Especially considering so few of these kids going to play D1.

Youth soccer is a money making business with the younger ages as the cash cow. Developing kids to play in college is a ruse for stupid parents.

Whats dumb is paying big money to play in leagues who specialize in college recruitment. Only to not try and get recruited to play in college.

What's dumb is spending 9 months of your life trying to keep your Sept girl off the B team by making up garbage on a forum to try to convince one August girl to play up so she doesn't take your girl's roster spot.

If you think these leagues specialize in college recruitment, you've already been scammed. They specialize in lining their pockets. Players have to do 90 percent of the college recruiting themselves.
