[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s better from a friendship and keeping kids interested in playing perspective, but yes other than that it is just moving the borders. Someone will always be the oldest and someone will always be the youngest (and smallest/biggest, slowest/fastest) no matter where you put the borders. [/quote]

I fully disagree.  The current rule discriminates children born in the later months because they aren’t able to play down.  You see coaches in the US are behind  in terms of IQ  compared to the rest of world. The majority of coaches in US overlook the small children and select the biggest and tallest, most of these are born January-March, some may be born in November but because they are big they get noticed. Those other younger and smaller are left behind (unless they are the Messy of the team but how many?). Because the age they are selected to move to DA or other elite league  is 12-13, the age when children are going through many changes including psychological changes, the fact of being discriminated by coaches results on many of these kids quitting soccer. I have read many articles that  bring up that the age when kids stop liking the sport is 12-13.
