[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised it doesn't show up in the league's system.  In soccer we have player cards that need to be produced at each game to make sure that every kid is carded and rostered to the team.  We have to produce proof of age to get the player cards. You can play up a year but never down a year.  The age cut off is in the summer so that kids can play on the same team for the whole soccer year/school year.  So yes it's unfair.  And the games could all be forfeited if another team complains.  I've seen this happen - one team lost nearly its whole season of results because they were using a player who was carded to another travel team.  He was basically a ringer.  The rules are supposed to prevent this kind of unfair advantage, which is what your team theoretically has.[/quote] True of travel soccer but not rec level soccer.

I also have never heard of the kids aging up mid season. I can't picture how that works without being super disruptive.  If the kids are less than a year older I wouldnt think it would be a big deal, but when you start getting kids who are almost 2 years older playing down that doesn't seem fair.[/quote]
