[quote=Anonymous]The change was implemented after my son's U10 year, which was his first year of non-rec type soccer.  Paid coach, multiple practices per week, etc.

He really liked the team that he was on that U10 year and we enjoyed the kids and other parents as well.

The change was a pretty big shift - he is a June birthday and ended up being 1 of only 3 kids left from the original group with the switch.  A bunch of kids moved up and there were too many for the location that was our teams homebase.  So, those guys ended up getting split up to other team sites within the club.

It was a tough first year of change, but all shook out in about a year - funny thing was he ended up playing again with some of those kids this past year as they were HS seniors and his team was recombined as 18/19 year olds.

It will be interesting to see how things move forward - my daughter is a Jan 09.  She has quite a few players that are late 09 birthdays on her current team.  Late meaning post August 1.  I think she would be bummed if the team got broken up as she has played with some of these girls going on 7 years now.  There would be girls on the 08 squad who would in theory drop back to my daughters team if the cutoff is 8/1.[/quote]
