[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got an outline from our club that MLSN 1 and 2 will be staying BY come 2026 and other platforms within the club will be SY 8/1.

I have been on the no way MLSN can stay BY  train, but it seems like a done deal that they will in fact stay BY.[/quote]

That’s very concerning to me as a parent of a child with a fall birthday. Not that mlsnext isn’t changing but the possibility of having to skip u12 because u8-u12 will be 8/1. Before anyone says “just play up,” that isn’t something that is done at our club except for extremely rare occasions. Will be anxious as to how our club will handle it.

This is exactly why US soccer should have made a universal decision. 1/1 or 8/1… who cares. This is going to be a disaster.[/quote]
No its not.

You'll complain +nobody will care.

MLSN will still be the top tier for youth boys soccer. [/quote]

It will be a disaster for the majority of August-December birthdays going forward. They were always at a disadvantage being the back half of the birth year and now will have to skip a year to play mlsnext. This group would have been much better off if all of youth soccer stayed 1/1. [/quote]
Give me a break.

With biobanding it doesn't matter.[/quote] Biobanding provides the biggest advantage for Jan-Apr kids for clubs. Too little of a benefit to bother biobanding Sep-Dec kids.[/quote]
