Our ECNL & ECNL-RL Girls U13, U14, and U15 teams will be hosting evaluations from December - January for the 2026/27 season. This is the perfect opportunity to see where you stand before the new age group changes take effect next season!”

And so it begins![/quote]
Make sure you tell them your kids grade in school.[/quote] Funniest comment yet. Well done.[/quote]

💯 😂 [/quote]When the nice volunteer at desk asks what my kid's birthdate is with a smile I am going to scream back shut your pie hole my kid is in 10 grade write it it down 10th grade got it![/quote]
Now you're getting it!

No need to play on a grade down team where your kid will get ignored by college coaches.[/quote]They won't let my kid play up a year however.[/quote]
Thats when you play on the B team with players your kids grade [/quote]They said not allowed.[/quote]

Yeah, Arlington just updated their age change FAQ. Grade is considered but not an automatic promotion card.

"Q: Can a player born between August 1 and September 30 play up if they are in the higher school grade?

A: School grade may be considered as part of the evaluation, but the decision to allow a player to play up is ultimately based on technical criteria including the player’s skill, maturity, and readiness for the older age group. Grade alone does not guarantee that a player will play up."

If Arlington doesn't think kids have to play up because of grade and they are a top flight ECNL who wants to please college coaches to keep that recruiting pipeline, something tells me that college coaches will probably just watch the players Arlington recommends just like they do know regardless of age/grade.

director at my daughters ECNL club said the same thing. They will allow players to stay up regardless of grade will have everything to do with individuals ability within the new age group. [/quote]
I can almost guarantee all Aug/Sept birthdays will play with their grade at either the A team or B team level. I just doesnt make sense to play players down a grade and screw them out of being recruited to play in college. [/quote]

Unless it doesn't screw them out of playing for college, because you're too hung up on this point.[/quote]
