[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With COVID having such a major impact to youth soccer, no way in hell is anyone stupid enough to do the age group change. [/quote]

I would agree, but I think you underestimate the stupidity of US Soccer.

People act like changing back the ages will do something magical.  It just creates chaos and different issues.  Yes, it's great for kids that are friends to play together at the beginning if possible, but even then who says they will be on the same team if school year?  How about making more friends that are on your team now?  My child only played with a couple friends before going to club and now has his school friends and his club team friends, none of which go to his school.  His passion for soccer has only increased.

It has been articulated over and over again. It isn't just about friends playing together. The move would benefit the trapped 8th graders and HS seniors whose teams have moved on. [/quote]

Those 8th graders have been with the same teammates since second or third grade, I fail to see how kicking them off the team benefits them  [/quote]

The cutoff always has trapped kids, it just depends on which end of the spectrum. There is little consequence at 8th grade but for trapped seniors trying to get recruited it is far more impactful.[/quote]
