[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC and teammates were asked to “play down” a year to help the year-below team for their club. It sounds like that year-below team is playing a year-up during the Spring 2021 EDP season and, according to the email, “may need some help.”

Is this routinely done?  Sure, my DC would love to get some extra touches in, but this seems unfair to the unsuspecting teams in the 2nd or 3rd EDP bracket who we’re probably not anticipating ECNL-level competition. It also seems, I don’t know, a little unethical to artificially boost the younger team’s ranking by stuffing the team with older players.

I know the easy answer is just to bow out and not have DC participate, but the whole thing feels a little slimy to us. [/quote]
are you saying your DC currently plays ECNL and they are asking for  ECNL players to help out an EDP team?  I would have a concern if my child ,who is on the EDP  team, loses playing time to an ECNL kid.  Sounds like somebody is trying to stack their team for wins....[/quote]

Or she could see that she's going to lose playing time if she doesn't step it up.  Imagine that.[/quote]
