[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On top  of everything else I was around pre 2017 (the last time everything was SY) and I never heard of parents looking to play their kid on a grade down team. Admitting I wasn't that involved but playing down was never discussed. Playing up was discussed and occurred a lot. You would even hear about players graduating early to start their college career a year early. Maybe their were Aug parents playing down that just held their kid back in school to align them. But this isnt really playing down if you're on the correct grade in. school team. [/quote]It sounds like a lot of things happen that you don't notice. Most people have no idea the grades of kids playing soccer.[/quote]
I can say with 100% confidence that I never heard of Aug players looking to play down.[/quote]
The two August birthday players on my son's team want nothing to do with playing on a team of the grade below them.  Both said doing so would feel like they're being punished.[/quote]
This is what I assume will happen with most 3rd + 4th quarter players that are currently playing up in BY. Switching to playing on a team with players your grade will be fine. Going from playing on a team thats a grade older to a team thats a grade younger in SY just doesnt make sense.

Once clubs rediscover how much easier things are if you play Aug birthdays on their grade in school team almost all Aug birthdays will play on their grade team. Oddballs might exist on B and C teams and weird clubs but you wont see it anywhere else. [/quote]

5% for a month or 2 of players isn't small at all. It's how many players were misaligned last time.[/quote]
