[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hilarious. Full of trolls and neurotic parents. Any player that would be impacted by the BY vs SY change has no chance of playing beyond high school. So much angst over something so trivial. [/quote]

Dont disagree with the first part but I do the second. High level Aug - Dec kids could be greatly impacted. Not from a skill level, but from a team level. They could still play “up” but would that be best when trying to go to college since their graduation year won’t match with their team? If they play “down” then they’re on a completely new team with maybe 3-4 players they’ve played with before and possibly not as challenged, but they would be on grade when recruiting starts. I think both scenarios qualify as being impacted. [/quote]

I am sure some kids are impacted by this one way or another but it is at the margin. The players going to big D1 programs or even pro are already at MLS academies or already being tracked by scouts as one of the top players. These players would always be able to play up and a few months difference in age groups are irrelevant to them. [/quote]But then these kids will be likely to get kicked off the glamour positions like forward to wing or CAM to CDM or CB to OB and they look real different come recruiting time so everyone impacted.[/quote]
