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]

And by forcing kids to play up, you ALSO disadvantage MOST of them (a few will rise anyway). So, all you are is asking for special treatment for kids who remain playing on age.[/quote]This disadvantagimg them cuts their chances by playing in college by probably about half while doubling their chances of quitting. ECNL Guy has got it figured out.

Stinks to be a June or July birth in soccer now not August.[/quote]

Right ... savvy parents of aug bdays should take advantage of the rules. If they buy completely into what Aug grade guy says, they're only hurt their chances.[/quote]
Thats the rub.

There might be a physical advantage to playing on a grade down when players are young. But every year you dont move up it gets more and more difficult to move up. Also the older kids get the more likely they are to start calling an Aug birthday playing down "Uncle/Aunt" then whatever their name is to make fun of them.

In the end its just better to start playing on the corrct grade in school team from the beginning.[/quote] Completely false. Easier to go up an age group as they get older, especially after puberty. Differences in age groups lessens over time. And unnecessary to switch because college coaches said they don't care what age group you are in and ECNL Guy pointed out that you can get twice the showcases playing on age.

Why do you care so much about misleading Aug births only? Targeting much.[/quote]
