[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They already switched from school year to calendar year like 10 years ago, they’re not going back[/quote]

Don’t agree that they wouldn’t go back simply because they already switched a decade ago. Not saying it is happening but it’s not etched in stone in perpetuity. [/quote]

Parents who have adult boys now, said baseball changed from school year to birth year and then back to school year.  They said number of boys playing the sport dropped, so it was moved back to calendar year.  This kept kids in the same grade at school playing together when they were in elementary school.[/quote]

That makes sense for lower level club where most of the kids want to play close to home.  The higher you get the less the kids live in close proximity.  Between kids playing up, kids sandbagged to be one year behind most their age in school, kids who travel an hour to practice, and kids on the normal age path and local, there really is not benefit to adhering to the school year for soccer age groups.[/quote]
