[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a player 9-11 but starter with a Q4 birthday, best advice is getting on grad year, right?  Entering recruiting years in next 12-18 months.[/quote]

Oct-Dec are Q4 currently. 
Best advise would be to compete at the highest level where your kid showcases the best.

I would definitely not play up U16-19[/quote]

It's going to be interesting to see if US Club / ECNL allow a limited number of Aug-Dec bdays to "play down" next spring in US Club competitions.  Let's hope.[/quote]
It cant happen in league, or playoffs because you'd have different teams half (depending where you live) of the season.

It could happen at showcases. But the problem with this is showcases are often bundled in with other events like playoffs, finals, etc. Which means the top teams wouldn't have as many opportunities to play new players down as everyone else because theyre still doing league games.

True but it would be equal for all leagues at the same time. So it wouldn’t be an unfair advantage for any one team. They would have to limit the number of how many in my opinion.

But it is easier to not jump the gun.

Just gets tricks once tryout window opens and half your team quits before nationals. [/quote]
