[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current youngers in ECNL are approximately 25% according to the public data.

With the change, I highly doubt there will be more than 5-10% of grade below playing on any older team. Slightly different in Sept+ and August states but not by much since there weren’t that many kids in those months to begin with.

So grade is going to be a fair proxy if 95% of kids are corresponding to the same grade in school vs 75% as is.

Yes there will be edge cases with hold backs or exceptional players or random school start dates but lets stop governing by minor exception vs the rule. [/quote]

25 states have an enrollment date of 8/31 or 9/1.  6 states have an enrollment date of 7/31 or 8/1.  So if half of the country starts enrollment in September, why does youth soccer use a cutoff that aligns with only 6 states?  If anything choosing 8/1 as the SY cutoff is letting the minority dictate things.[/quote]

You already know the answer to that……….and if you dont understand it it is because you dont want to understand it. It has been explained on here ad nauseam [/quote]

I don't know the answer which is why I asked the question.  My son isn't affected by it so I don't really care, I'm just wondering why (and I don't feel like scrolling through 260 pages of posts).[/quote]
