[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leaving it as birth year impacts the attraction and retention of players in perpetuity. Fewer kids playing every year in the future because your sept/oct/nov/dec kids don’t want to play with kids a grade ahead of them in school and can’t play with classmates. A change back to school year has massive benefits (play with classmates, no awkward transition times or players left off of teams) and will inconvenience only the current group of players - 1/3 of whom would get screwed in high school under the birth year system anyway when 2/3s of their team graduates. It may have a minor impact on development for the 1% of the 1% international caliber players, but if they are that good they won’t be here long anyway. [/quote] A year is a year.[/quote]
