[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL podcast already said they can not fix all trapped player issues, they will play based off a 1 year calendar. That will include some higher grades playing with some lower grades it will just drastically less. Also US soccer rules show they need to follow that same calendar year round and for nationals.

Showcases are the only gray area at this point.[/quote]
Your ECNL Messiah Christian Lavars also said that he doesnt want players playing down.

Sooo....[/quote]

What's your definition of playing down? [/quote]

Play one or two grade lower, or play against players more than 12 months younger. Playing down is shameful IMHO.[/quote] Everybody has opinions but classifying everybody above freshmen in HS or college and second year players in U19 as shameful is shameful.[/quote]

He is talking about playing down in p2p club soccer and you are changing the topic to school sports in order to give a punch, typical liberal dimwit.

A Junior or even a Sophomore will not play down in the Frosh team with Freshmen. It is a dignity issue. My kid would rather do pickup if he can not make the JV team as a Sophomore this year. For a Freshman who plays with Juniors in the JV team, he is playing up, not the Juniors playing down in his own team. The same applies to clubs; if your kid plays down in a team with players who are one or two grades lower or more than 12 months younger, you are playing down and should feel ashamed of yourself.[/quote]

No, kids should NOT feel ashamed if they play JV as a sophomore or junior with freshmen. All that means is either you don't have enough players OR the freshmen is at a level that can play with older kids. Either way, having that player(s) is a GOOD thing, because everyone is playing a game they love (hopefully) – soccer.[/quote]
This is loser talk. Nobody that plays sports feels this way. Playing down is shameful and should not be encouraged.[/quote]Wow, judgemental on kids that get assigned teams based on their age and what their parents can afford. Nice. And although not related to club soccer, kids don't pick their grade either. Hate the game not the playa.[/quote]
