[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet dual rostering Aug birthday players on 2 levels of teams is why I never heard of players playing down pre 2017. Technically they werent playing down and most A team players would choose to play with the team that was their grade in school. But the crazy town parents foaming at the mouth for wins could see their kid beat up younger players now and then.[/quote]
This is exactly what was going on.

Clubs would dual roster the August kids with parents that were looking to play down. Then gradually ween them off the idea of playing down. Players would play league up on the team that was their grade. Then they'd play in tournamants for their grade team and with the grade below them team.[/quote]
This would also address the college coach issue because you'd be practicing and playing league games with the correct grade team. The only time you'd play down is tournaments and probabaly Sophmore (when you're a Junior) year showcases.

Technically you could play 2 league games in the same day. But usually age groups are one after the other. It would be difficult to do 2x back to back games.

Also your ECNL profile would show the correct graduating year and team.[/quote]

I get it. You're countering 1 scenario with your own. That's OK, here's the thing. The star misaligned player who plays on AGE need not have to do sit on the bench on the older team because they play at a high level club and will have access to college recruiting -- BUT they might. That's plausible because everything is CASE-BY-CASE.[/quote]
