[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a Q4 starter at an ECNL club as well. I have talked to the coaches for both age groups and neither one know what team my kid will be on.  I'm sure it will probably depend who all comes to tryouts from other clubs.  We are in a good situation because i know they will be on one of the NL teams.   I expect 40-60% of the players will change for the non high school ages and probably less for older ages. [b]I unfortunately think a lot of the Jan-July kid's parents have no idea or in denial about what is about to happen.   [/b][/quote]

This is 100% the case.  Especially in the younger age groups.  High school level, this change is probably just annoying.  But in the 2014-2015 brackets, you are going to have a ton of August-Dec 2014's who will replace Jan-July 2015's on the 1st teams for major clubs.  I really don't think the Jan-July parents are ready.  In my small sphere, 3 of the tops kids on my club are August-December and have the option to play down which I think they are going to do to stay 9v9 for an additional year and develop as we all have international exposure and understand that moving to 11v11 too early is a common American mistake.[/quote]
