At least she's not a late December kid like my U10 (U12 next year) boy![/quote]

Your December U10 son will play U11 next year (unless he plays a year up, which would be tougher next year for a December birthday) The younger  (January and later) players will "get" to play down a year and play U10 again.  [/quote]

This is not true according to the latest from U.S. Youth Soccer.  Not that it really matters whether it's called U11 or U12.

Yes. That chart is weird. Our U-10 team is 50% 8/05-12/05 and 1/06-7/06 bdays.  This chart has the '05 boys skipping the U-11 year-weird. While the 06 will move up to U-11--we skip an entire age group.  It will mean an extra player on the field --2 more per team.

Of course- this means nothing because every kid in U-12 will have to be born in 2005.  So it's not the 'U" system anymore.

I am glad to see my 2008 spring bday/2nd grader  gets to start at U-9 next year. We have no 2008s on the current U-9 team it's all 2006&2007.  At least no kids can drop down to U-9. It will be a fresh start.  My other son has the sucky late Fall bday. Oh well.[/quote]
