[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does MLSN determine if a kid should be biobanded? How can they tell if a kid is physically immature or just small?[/quote]
Ugh... Girls parents are so frustrating.

Playing down is just another opportunity to play. Youre not labeled as a "bio bander" it's just a way for clubs to have more flexibility fielding teams and for players to get minutes.

Looking at bio banding from the opposing teams perspective it's a way to force "playing up"

You have to stop thinking about the results of a single game as the end of the world. Yes, everyone involved in MLSN wants to win. But what's more important than winning is Developing as a player. Development as a player means that you're able to handle different situations and come out on top. Playing up or playing down doesn't matter because the end goal is to play on a professional team. On a professional team age means nothing the only thing that matters is results.[/quote]

What an incredibly rude answer to a simple question: How is bio banding determined? I'm not sure why the hostility. Just trying to understand how it works.[/quote]
It's not you, asking questions is fine.

The hard part is some girls parents can be incredibly block headed. Many girls parents like pay to play age banded teams and that's OK. If girls had a true professional Acadamy program that funneled players into professional teams everyone would have what they want and be happy. The problem is girls don't have an Academy to pro program. So what happens is that players that would prefer to play professionally are forced to be involved with pay to play age bound teams. This plays out in certain clubs hoarding talent by not playing them up even if the team kills everyone else their age. Provides great marketing for the club but unfortunately stagnates player development. But parents want wins and they're paying so you can see how things play out.[/quote]
