[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The downside is it would promote redshirting in soccer. As it is my kid has several kids on her team older than her. But a year lower grade. [/quote]
SY+30/60 with a 9/1 cutoff specifically does not allow redshirting. Unless the player was born 30 or 60 days before 9/1. In this case its not really redshirting because if the kid grew up in a different part of America with an 8/1 or even 7/1 start date that is the grade they would be in school.[/quote]So is it the school cutoff date at the time the child would have been sent to school based on where they lived at the time? What if they moved the following year to a school district that had a different school year and then when off the new school district? Would this be o.k.? For immigrant kids would we go off their home country's school district or the first school district that they used when they went to U.S. schools? Would the USSF need to maintain a database of school district age cutoffs globally for every year and track changes so clubs could check to determine what age group to put kids in? If the child switches grades does this have to be reported or will they need to have their grade recertified every year? Would tax forms and associated social security numbers be needed to prove proof of residence for toddlers because most don't have IDs with residential addresses?  I don't see what could go wrong with such a brilliant idea.[/quote]
