[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They changed the age range and now kids can't play with their grade which is not as much fun. On top of this, the fees are high compared to something like little league and there are too many divisions so kids and parents are driving all over the place to play games.[/quote]
Actually most kids play with their grade, and no one cares about this issue besides one poster here.  My son did not play with his grade under the old age breakdown, and it was not a big deal.[/quote]

I agree. This is madness. Kids should play rec if they want to play with their friends in their grade. My son doesn’t go to school with any of his teammates and hasn’t since he was a U9. Even then, that was one person on an 11 kid roster. [/quote]

I agree. My daughter hasn’t played with any of her classmates since leaving Rec Soccer 4 years ago. There is life and social groups outside of school and classmates. [/quote]

Totally agree.  I always thought it was a good thing for my kids to meet other kids outside of their school and neighborhood groups.  They made plenty of good and different friends that way - many of which have grown and persisted outside soccer.  [/quote]
