[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]G2016 was speaking with another parent this weekend about the BY the SY change. He said its weird. I asked why he thinks its weird. He said my kid is an August birthday. I said wouldn't that make your kid the oldest on a SY team? My kid is a july birthday shes screwed. He said its weird that my daughter would be playing on a team with players that are a year behind her in school. I said if you think that it's weird just tell your club that you're not paying unless shes on a team with players her grade.

Interesting exchange you could tell he instinctively knew that playing down was an issue. But he couldnt figure out why. His oldest is being recruited for swimming right so Im sure he'll put the pieces together  reguarding his youngest and playing on the correct grade team.[/quote]Then dont play with your SY if you are good enough to stay with older group. This is a dumb post.[/quote]
Not a dumb post at all.

I think he was working through in his head why they're trying to make his daughter play on a team with players that are a grade below her. If you're not that involved in youth soccer and not looking to play down it doesnt make sense. Most people assume playing up is what the best players do not the other way around.[/quote]You don't know what was in his head but decided that you could make it up to try to get it to fit your clueless narrative that everyone should be forced in grade year. Well done I guess.[/quote]

DAG also cos-plays as a college coach/recruiter - letting us know how they will be approaching a situation that hasn't happened yet with laser like accuracy.

I wish I could quit this thread, but sometimes new information actually gets posted. [/quote]
