SY+60 is making more and more sense isn't it.

Hahahaha

Hey - I always thought it made sense! But some in here might lose their minds if we circle back on that conversation again.

The added benefit of SY+60 is that it make SY as easy to implement as BY for clubs from a groupings perspective.

With BY clubs ask players what year they were born in and that's the team they're on.

With SY+60 clubs ask players what grade they are in school and that's the team they're on. *

* The regraders will need to be sorted out but that is a secondary action which will occur when clubs review the birth cert.

Don't rub it in or they'll just dig their heels in again + focus on a specific date. Not considering WHY leagues want to switch to SY which is so all players in a certain grade can be on the same team.

SY+60 addresses all the issues with SY.

BY + 120 would also🤔

Not this nonsense again.

Yes, or 10-month ENCL and GA stay BY.

What's 10-month ECNL?

Teams that play a full 10 month calendar and don't pause for school sports.

ECNL going to SY with GY showcases GA staying birth year but adding biobanding you heard it here first.

ECNL will not make girls skip high school.

They will not. But even DA gave waivers.

Yep same thing as SY without the +60

This is more unlikely. Teams won’t morph for showcases alone. GA will do what ECNL does on the girls side, regardless of what MLSN does. MLSN and GA are not so connected that they have to do the same thing. ECNL isn’t that flexible because they have boys and girls clubs. It makes more sense for ECNL and GA on the girls side to do the same thing, which is SY, since there is a much more realistic path to playing college soccer on the girls side. Not as much on the boys.

What I've seen is girls getting demoted to a lower team when they wanted to play HS

This sounds reasonable. GA will bind with MLS to counter ECNL, so it has to stay in BY and use bioband to address trap issue.

How does biobanding work? Just for a season or would it be more or less SY in practice for trapped kids?

Haven't we heard this 15 times before? Is this anything except a guess?

ECNL will not make girls skip high school.

Heard about this coming on the GA side in alignment with MLSN but not ECNL. So ECNL would take the high school to college track and GA +MLSN to pro as academies paired with pro clubs.

I don't think that would prevent any players crossing over one way or the other but would make the mission and primary league focus more clear.
