[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biobanding is such a disservice to smaller kids. Lots of kids never grow to the size doctors guess (or parents want) so all you are doing is ensuring your kid will never be able to keep up by playing them down. If they can't cut it at their age in MLSN go play in another league. We won't even get into the social aspect of making the clear statement my kid isn't good enough to play at thir own age. [/quote]

Dear Ignorant, 
Biobanding is applied in all the true football countries. 
Several current top ranked professional and international players from both club and world cup champions were biobanded.

You clearly don't know nor understand the concept.

As soon as you mentioned "good enough to play own age" it was a glaring sign of your lack of understanding. [/quote]

You are misleading here. Those examples are from true elite professional clubs academy team.

Here, all those mediocre P2P MLSN clubs use biobanding to let mediocre players to play down as they have no way to play in their own age group. Those biobanding players technical skills are not superior to worth taking a spot from the younger group.

To put it bluntly, those kids and their parents are cheaters. They take advantage of the biobanding rule to play down to steal the game time from 12 - 15 months younger players. I am glad ECNL does not have this shit and my Dec. kid will not get bothered by a 15 months older cheaters to come down.

How does a parent place their kid on a lower age team without the league, club and coach being fully involved?
Why are coaches and clubs taking a biobanded player that has less or mediocre skills over more skillful players if the aim is to cheat?

Biobanding is not about calendar age, it's biological age.
Because you don't understand relative age effect and biobanding, you think a kid born January 3rd 2014 and one born December 30th 2014 are the same age.
While fact is biologically the December kid is closer in age to a January 2015 kid.[/quote]

I just tell the fact. There is no strict rule. They only measure your height. Coach is very pushy on biobanding. As long as you are not so tall and want to play down to steal game time from the younger group, you can go down.
This gives the cheaters a way to stay in top league and rob the game time from the younger. Our biobander is short, but he obviously has a much stronger muscle than my 20 months younger son. We just switched to a top ECNL club, at least, that biobanding cheater will not be able to do the same dirty trick in ECNL club.

Sounds like your kid's performance is what you really need to address

Which you apparently did by stepping down to a ECNL club, though you probably will also be complaining about the strong players on that club getting more playing time.
Maybe you would be better at an ECNL club that doesn't have top players [/quote]

You are definitely one of those cheaters. Has to play down to stay in the top league, will surely have a long-term effect on your mediocre player. Remember there is always a B team for him.

I think the attitude that your player‘s success and performance is affected  by things beyond their control is more detrimental to your player’s development and confidence. I assume, as a responsible parent, he is not overhearing the stuff you have posted on this site.

But it sounds like he will be in a better environment so it can only go up for him.[/quote]
