[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What clubs will do in SY is Dual Roster Aug birthdays on the grade down team and the correct grade team at the same time. This will give the cheater parents looking to play down what they want. Then over time the club will suggest and more likely the kid will ask to play on the team with kids their grade in school. By 8th grade all the Aug birthdays will be playing on the team thats their grade in school because clubs wont want to deal with 9th grade players playing high school soccer on a team with 8th grade players. Also players would be aligned for college recrutiing.

Unfortunately you have to give the play down losers what they want when kids are young.[/quote]Makes no sense. Players aren't dual rostered within clubs.[/quote]

Most often a kid will just play up as a guest and be rostered at their correct age group and more often those "guests" will find there way on tournament rosters, but I've seen it happen to be rostered in league at both. But when that's happened, the player often ends up primarily on one team, anyway, once it sinks it trying to be on 2 teams is too much.[/quote]
Some people just take a while to get reality into their thick skull.

But yes, this is what clubs will do. After a while they'll drop the hammer and say play on the team your grade or be demoted. Once this happens they'll play on the team thats their grade.[/quote]

Are teams going to do study groups together?
I'm trying to find a rational for grades to be important for teams [/quote]
Playing on the correct grade in school team allows college recruiting to work 1000x better.

Also playing on the correct grade in school avoids 8th grade teams with 9th grade players that leave the team for 3 months during the season to play HS soccer.[/quote]

Dont disagree but some parents need to come to the reality that they may be on SY but on second team.  That is where the problem is.  [/quote]
The best thing to do with players and parents like this is to put them on the grade in school B team but let them guest with the grade down in school A team at tournamants. This why their path is set but the parents get what they really want which is to watch their kid beat up on younger players.[/quote]

You must mean guess which grade, not guest 😂

Can't believe the serious soccer people are still debating with the lunatic Grade people who are obviously just here for fun and to torture people who actually take youth soccer semi seriously [/quote]
Laugh all you want but for some clubs this is a serious issue. How adversely a club is affected 100% depends on when a school starts during the year. As an example in California schools start in Aug so there will be very few Aug birthdays that need to play up. However in the Northeast some school districts dont start until late September which means every one of their teams will have 2 months of players that need to play up.[/quote]

School is irrelevant 
The league goes by AGE GROUPS

It's only a serious issue for clubs, teams and parents who can't read and understand a bloody calendar

8/1 to 7/31

Look at your kid's birth certificate or passport and register them for fitting age group [/quote]
Keep repeating the same thing over and over ignoring the logic and justification others are providing. You just look stupid.[/quote]

Are the others in the padded room with you right now?[/quote]
