This isnt the issue.

The issue us that age guy wants older players to play down against younger ones. When you add grade to US Soccers eligibility matrix it makes it impossible for him to try and sneak in playing down.

Even more of an issue to age guys play down agenda is if Aug birthdays play on their correct grade in school team. This is because when Aug birthdays play on their correct grade in school team everyone on the field is the same graduating year. (except holdbacks) Which ultimately is what college coaches want when recruiting/scouting players. [/quote]

Now, you're arguing for grade year (which I know what you really don't want) But here you are AGAIN, because you want to placate college coaches.[/quote]
100% School Year aka SY

Aug birthdays playing on their grade in school team is 100% allowed by the rules and has nothing to do with Grade Year aka GY[/quote]

BUT your argument for it is based on what college coaches want. Take that to its conclusion means just do GY. Force kids to play up and you simply disadvantage most of them sending them to the bench/less playing time.[/quote]
Nope college coaches will get 99.9% of what they want if Aug birthdays play on their grade in school team.

Holdbacks aka cheaters can play on a team their age allows. They are also free to attend college id camps. They're not going to pad their stats playing against younger players.[/quote]Except August kids playing on age with kids a grade below were no holdbacks. Science and stats say it increases their chances to play in college on age in youth soccer as the oldest vs playing up as the youngest.[/quote]
