[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will be no need of special provisions.  Most younger kids  trained harder because they were athletically behind, but have now caught up.  The Q1 advantages, on the girls side, are mostly gone.  Aug and Sept birthdays will play with their school year, mostly.  What will be very interesting is what the parents who held their kids back a year do.  There are plenty of them on good teams (ARL/BSC).  Do you play up on a better team and potentially get overlooked by scouts because you are the laying with the wrong SY team or do you drop.  That is the key interesting question and what will change the trajectory of these teams.[/quote]

I think it depends on the club and the age. In the U13-15 age, it’s not as big a deal to be playing on a team that doesn’t fit your grad year assuming there is room and you don’t get forced to play with your current age group. When you get to U16-18, it is a much bigger deal and you’re doing yourself a disservice if you’re not aligned. [/quote]
