[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So can we all take a deep breath and step back for a minute.

US Soccer changed from a SY system to a BY system back in 2017.  They are proposing to go back to the same EXACT cutoffs that existed back then.

College coaches figured it out then, just like the figured out the change to BY.  I'm sure they will figure it out now as well.

Is there anyone out there that can share what was going on then with players and grades and recruiting?

I was in the middle of it, but my oldest was only 10 so college stuff was not even a thought.

Yeah, I get it.  It's going to be messy for the first year for sure, maybe even two.  But, it will all get sorted out.

FWIW, my DD is playing U17 ECNL and her team is going to get really shuffled next year and she's not super thrilled but such is life.

Players that wanted play in college needed to play on a team thats their grade in school. Its how it worked before 2017 and its how it will work 2026/2027.

The person advocating that its ok for young players to play down a grade and still expect to get recruited is simply wrong. Maybe an expensive D3 private school will go through the motions but they would do that either way if you throw enough money at them.[/quote]Much better to play on age, like clubs and leagues are encouraging and don't play up or down or sideways. I hope you find a team that implements all your hopes and dreams rules for kids that aren't yours.[/quote]
Much better to play on grade, like college coaches want and everyeone who did this before 2017 can attest to. I hope you find an entire team of Aug birthdays playing down so you can all cry together and your kids have someone to hang out with when they don't get recruited to play college soccer. [/quote]Stupid advice for girls, dumber for boys and the dumbest thing is that your are responding because the PP was trolling your ridiculous advice. Playing up on age is very tough. Suggesting it with a straight face to strangers with an 8 year old boy packaged as fake helpful advice so your daughter can have an easier track to college is shameful.[/quote]
So what you're saying is that its too hard to play with other players your kids grade in school. But somehow this will be the player that colleges are looking to recruit... The ones not good enough to compete with players their grade in school. This is the player that needs to be on an A team not a B team. The one that cant compete against players their grade in school.[/quote]Your reading comprehension is weak.

Science says being the oldest has better outcomes than the youngest in an age cohort. Most likely a huge reason parents are interested in the change back to SY.

What science or facts do you have to back up your nonsense other than telling college coaches that you can do better than them? [/quote]
When backed into a corner and have nothing left out comes RAE the super excuse that can be used to justify anything.[/quote]If you don't understand science, you have a misspecified model in your head that with bias will not create correct results. Not understanding RAE is a large reason you are constantly wrong.[/quote]
What does it matter? You'll just morph RAE into an excuse for anything. It allows you to always be the victim and never accept accountability.[/quote]
