[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more I think about it MLSN1s decision to stay BY will result in multiple months of players looking to play up a level in SY leagues so they get noticed.

Jan-July players in SY leagues will feel pressure to play up as a way to stand out from the crowd and get noticed by MLSN1 coaches. Aug-Dec will feel pressure to play up just to be a part of the crowd that gets considered by MLSN1 coaches.

Which in the end works out for everyone because playing with your grade early sets players up for being looked at by college recuiters when they're older.[/quote]FYI, teams are blocking playing up an age group. And your knowledge of MLSN1 recruiting matches your knowledge of college recruiting.

Not sure how you turned the original comment into an irrelevant opportunity for you to try to helicopter for your girl and try to make Sept the oldest but it is the only thing you can see.[/quote]
Hahahaha the reason your ECNL leaders said they dont want players playing up is because if this happens a lot it weakens leagues and boys ECNL cements itself as tier 2. [/quote]
But, if playing on a BY MLSN1 team is what everyone is going for. Everyone in a SY league will consider playing up.[/quote]It's not allowed.[/quote]

You can always play up, so it's allowed. But you just have to be really, really good.[/quote]
Hes just blowing a fuse because the reality of Aug birthdays playing by grade ts starting to dawn on him.[/quote]

The only reality I see is grade is a factor for some but not for others and the clubs are rolling with it.[/quote]
This is competitive soccer. The top teams control the leagues. The players parents and coaches fron the top teams will make grade in school a part of the decision process for the teams they play on / coach. It all works together.[/quote]

Yep, and what I'm seeing at the highest level so far is age/talent > grade.[/quote]I appreciate the littles 7v7 report.

When your kid gets older getting recruited to play in college takes over which is why if your kid was born in Aug they should play on a team thats their grade asap. Don't let clubs steal your kids long term potential by playing them down for short term wins. [/quote]

Sorry dude, I'm reporting about 11v11. Funny thing is those who want it about grade aren't about college recruiting. It's more about playing with friends. The ones interested in college still -- they are after the A team and the platform it provides.[/quote]
Whatever the reason. I actually agree with you that its better for Aug players to play with other kids their grade. [/quote]The ones interested in college still -- they are after the A team and the platform it provides.[/quote]
