[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where exactly have you been hearing this?  I cannot imagine US Soccer would put everyone through a change again so soon, esp given that the rest of the world uses the current system.

Until I see it from the source, this just a rumor.[/quote]

While I tend to agree it is probably a rumor, I have heard it from a number of different places in the last month or two. I am not sure where there is smoke there may not be a bit of fire. A decision may not be made, but I definitely believe it is being spoken about.[/quote]

US soccer has gotten a beat down about what a failure going to birth year has been.

Maybe they are finally listening.[/quote]

No club soccer is fine. There is no problem with the birth year groupings. US soccer does not want(for many reason) kids playing high school soccer. [/quote]

Again, if that was a deal breaker for US Soccer, they would not be granting waivers to several top players in GDA every season.  US Soccer may not want those kids to play HS, but they allow it.[/quote]

They will.  They have started with phasing out any significant ECNL presence.  Part time DA players are next.  They know how to do this.  They've done it before with the BDA.[/quote]

Part time players are different from waiver players.  The kids that get waivers are in the top 5 on their team and the club and US Soccer allows waivers in order to keep them.  PT players are often placeholders that play much less when the studs that play HS return.  [/quote]
