[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is The Conversation? Teams will form according to the new rules. It ain’t that deep. [/quote]some clubs and teams are mum as some parents won’t be happy [/quote]
I'm truly trying to understand what would make parents unhappy about this? Is it just that some people are unhappy about any changes to their life in general? Otherwise it's hard to see how changing the age cutoff date by 4 months is going to be a big deal. It doesn't make anyone a better soccer player.  Help me understand.[/quote]
5 months of players from the older age group will come down.   Some kids will be bumped down to a lower team or no longer get playing time.   This isn't that difficult to understand.  [/quote]

At the highest level clubs, 5 months of players coming down will probably displace 90% of the kids on the team the year younger. Most elite teams are already heavy with the Jan-Jun kids, now they will be heavy with Aug-Dec, especially if MLS Next doesn't change and end of birth year bench players on MLS Next teams jump to ECNL and displace a ton of existing kids.[/quote]
