[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best situation if you had a younger than the eligibility window but grade up player would be to roster them "up" on the correct grade level team for development.

Ideally your club would be aware that your kid could also play down. This way they'd have 2x the number of teams they could play with for tournamants. Also for things like Talent IDs they'd be pretty much guaranteed an invite at the lover level bevause they're playing and developing at a higher level than everyone else their age.[/quote]
This is very interesting for young Aug/Sept playera.

Playing on the team that's your kids grade will need to happen for college recruiting.

It's obvious that playing up but guesting down would create tournament monsters. I never thought about all the advantages playing up could bring for things like Talent IDs. I guess this depends on if US Soccer keeps things BY. I assume they would. But even then you'd need to be playing up with your grade to be considered because you'd be competing with the younger half of the grqde above SY team.[/quote]

I was told both ODP and USYNT are staying BY. So no real benefit over this year for either of those[/quote]
Younger Aug/Sept players need to be able to play at the level of the Jan to July players  on the SY above them.

The ones that get screwed are the Oct, Nov, Dec birthdays. [/quote]

Which is how it is now. My kid was one of 4 7th graders at the October USYNT ID camp. [/quote]

Out of 32[/quote]
