[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would they jerk around the same set of youth players a second time within 5 years?  As messed up an organization as US Soccer is, I have a hard time seeing this happening.  DA and ODP were on birth year previously - have to expect that is set and would not change.  So why make a change to re-create two sets of birth date cutoffs.

My son was on the "losing end" of the change 4 years back and there is no way we would want it changed back and go through all the restacking and regrouping again.  This completely destroys teams at smaller clubs and at older age groups.  One of the fun parts of this is being part of a team and competing as a team - not wandering around like a nomad as US Soccer jerks you around every few years.

We’d take it back.  My kid loved his former team, which for the most part, is still together.  The older age group team has zero chemistry with several prima donnas.  He was one of 2 kids that had to jump up an age group.  The rest were the same birth year.

Plus, he’s an 8th grader on a team with mostly HS kids that will graduate a year before him and spring season is a mess w/ many playing HS.
