[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my Aug kid plays with the new age group and is placed on the 2nd team we are changing clubs.[/quote]
So you're willing to change clubs just to play down? Pathetic.

Just hold your kid back in school for wins if this is your plan. Sounds like you're desperate enough to do this.[/quote]

It's NOT playing down. If you can get on an ECNL/GA/MLSN team for your age group, you'll do it. Grade has nothing to do with it.[/quote]

The person advocating for Aug kids to be forced to play with their grade are clearly scared that their kid is going to be replaced.

Most clubs will operate the same way they operate now - that is almost all kids will be placed on teams based on the new range (Aug. 1 - July 31) DESPITE their grade. Kids that are good enough, or if the need is there, will play up UNDER THE SAME CRITERIA that is used to determine whether they can play up in the current system.

I'm sorry your kid might lose their spot, or get pushed to the B team because Aug kids are joining the team. [/quote]
Nope my kid starts in BY and was born in September.

Then, congrats, you're kid will be playing with younger kids next year (regardless if they start now), if that podcast is to be believed where they basically said there'll be few if any kids from Aug-Dec staying with their current team. Hopefully, it'll be a good competitive/development environment.[/quote]
Its so obvious that your kid is a littles.

Here's how it works with olders. Competition is stiff all the way to u16. After that its not. This is because some players are already recruited. Some players are burning out. Theres less players playing. Etc etc etc. This is why the club president/owner typically takes over the oldest olders teams. They dont want to deal with the drama and want a team thats on cruise control. What im saying (and the ECNL podcast guys confirmed) is olders teams probabaly wont change that much. So it will take a couple of years to cycle all the 8/1 oriented teams in as the current olders cycle out.[/quote]
