[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The good thing is that US Soccer changed the birth years. Now all those kids can play pro soccer. I was so worried about that. We have to do what Europe does or the US will never produce pro athletes. Pardon me as I puke again. [/quote]

DS is a late 2003, he has been screwed 3x by that age change.  How?

He had to skip u13.  Went from u12 to u14.  Big deal?  Yes - the older '03s had that extra year of u13 full 11v11 development.  It took a year or two to overcome that.

Then where he was for u15 (other part of the country, not around DVM) they didn't do full 10 month travel soccer for HS ages u15 through u18.  Soooooo he was on a garbage trapped u15 squad for half the year.

Now at u19 half the age group or more is gone.  His club doesn't give a crap about his team.

But yes...  It was MUCH easier for USSF to scout him for the national team  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

It hasn't been any better for my late Fall 2005, if you want company in misery.  Birth year made him miss a year 11v11 and then had to jump into group that had already been on the big field 1 full year.  His Club did not put any of the late Fall bdays on the upper team.  They were al automatically (no matter talent) shunted to a lower team that first year.

8th grade trapped.

Then, last year pandemic :lol: .

His HS is Fall soccer while he plays on a team where 98% of the team is Spring soccer.

Then, we are waiting for his Senior year when 98% of his team will be in college and he will then 'play down'.

Yeah-- it's all a crock of sh*t.
