[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MLS changes from BY to SY they'll add a rule that younger players must play with their grade. This will align all teams by grade making things 1000% easier to manage.

Don't worry GY Guy they'll probably keep biobanding which will allow your kid to play down against younger players.  [/quote]

It will contradict what their biobanding players are doing now, playing down in the younger team that is 1/2 grade lower.[/quote]
I agree + I dont really like biobanding either. The difference is if you're in an Academy setting biobanding down is a bad thing. This is because all acadamies want is players that can compete at a professional level at as young of an age as possible. With college recruiting all players are looking to do is stand out from other players their grade in school. This is why parents hold their kid back 1-2 years in school. They can be 36 months older than everyone else their grade. Since parents pay for Club soccer nobody wants older players playing down on their kids team.[/quote]

Then why do all the top European academies have biobanding which produces world class players like Kevin De Bruyne, Declan Rice, Harry Kane etc if it doesn't work and is a bad thing?[/quote]

"top European academies" is NOT our p2p MLS club, where there's a 0% chance to play pro. Biobanding should be awarded only to talented players in a True Academy team who are short for their age, not to mediocre players who cannot play in their age group in a P2P club.

This is a fair statement. If an academy wants to use one of their fully funded spots to bioband a kid down then they should be able to. MLS p2p clubs have too many issues using biobanding to win rather than how it was intended.[/quote]
