He’s encouraging coaches to ignore them and other parents to bully them. It’s inappropriate and shouldn’t be on here.[/quote]
Give me a break. You're getting your nose rubbed in reality and dont like it.[/quote]

Seems like someone remains unhappy that no one liked it when this idea was framed as SY+30 or 60.[/quote]
They changed the date from 9/1 to 8/1 wonder why?[/quote]You can play up but can't play down and it worked before. Not a mystery.[/quote]
But what does play up and play down mean?

Are you talking about grade in school?[/quote]
If yes this means the soccer gods that pushed for changing from SY to BY did it because of grade in school.

If they made the decision to switch from BY to SY because of grade in school wouldn't it also make sense to implement a rule that younger players than the eligibility window must play on the team thats their grade in school? [/quote]No, they specialty said grade doesn't matter in an FAQ.[/quote]
is this thr section youre referring to?

Aligning with the school-year calendar is a return to a policy in place prior to a 2016 U.S. Soccer decision to move to birth-year registration (January 1 – December 31). The change was made in effort to align with international soccer standards. [/quote]
No i think this was the section...

U.S. Soccer performed an assessment of available data (e.g., 2020 U.S. Census & National Center for Education Statistics) and qualitative feedback and determined that September 1 represents most school districts’ calendars (~68%) across the country. [/quote]From the FAQ posted 2 weeks ago, "Is registration based on your grade in school?

A: No it is still based on your date of birth to determine the age group you will play.  A child held back a year in school, will not be impacted."[/quote]
That sounds 100% like older players held back in school are being allowed to play down a grade.[/quote]No it is still based on your date of birth to determine the age group you will play.[/quote]
I dont understand the phrase "A child held back a year in school, will not be impacted.". Please explain. this one. It doesnt make sense.

[/quote]Holding a kid back from school or sending a kid to school early will not impact their age group.[/quote]
That logic makes no sense if you are held back in school you are now now playing on the grade above your current grade in school. This is the definition of impacted.[/quote]Your grade does not impact your age group.[/quote]
