[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The plan is to change MLSNext to August in 2 years.  [/b]

The kids on the MLSNext’s clubs’ u12 teams have been clubs’ “A” team players for the past 2-4 years.  They have been with the clubs” “A” team coaches for the past 2-4 years.  You can’t snap your fingers and make the kids born in August - December automatically better than the kids who have been on the “A” team 
for 2-4 years.

Now, this year’s u10 kids?  Yep.  By switching the younger age groups to the August date the Q4 kids will get sorted out.  They will be the best “A” team kids in a couple of years and MLSNext will change to the August date.

Yes - they should say that is what they are doing.  But, if you did so you would be confirming the obvious that birthdate matters a huge amount.

Where did this come from?  Any reason this was not communicated?

[i]Player registration via Birth-Year remains the optimal structure for the Allstate Homegrown Division, as it aligns with FIFA standards, the global professional pathway and greatly benefits our youth national teams.[/i]

That does not present like a temporary decision.[/quote]

I have same question. If that is the plan, seems pretty incompetent to do this nonsense for two years. Rip the bandaid off now. [/quote]
