[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine the feeling a parent and their kid would have by having their August kid play down a grade level to bump a kid who has been playing on that team for years just because you want your kid to get more playing time while disrupting a team and players on grade level. Dealing with all the people talking about you and your kid should be reason alone to stay on your SY team. Pretty embarrassing just to think about it.[/quote]
Exactly, nobody wants Aug birthdays playing down other than the one crazy parent. Theres just no upside. This is why SY leagues will make a rule not allowing it. Which will make 8/1 the same thing as 9/1+30.[/quote]

I think after all this time, I finally get it. ... Next year, the largest Aug birthdays will become the oldest kids on the team, no matter what grade they are in. That's how it will go, because of the desire for a hard 12-month window. If they want to stay with their grade -- and it's a higher grade -- they need to have the ability to play up on THAT team, no matter the level (ECNL, GA, MLSN, NAL, USYS, rec, etc). This will cause misalignment issues BUT that's where the GY for showcases kicks in. Not perfect but where we are headed.[/quote]
