I’m sure the crazies are saying this is fake, but what are the majority/realistic people  saying?[/quote]
Much like the Arlington FAQ the Albion update was provided by a club to update and inform parents.

This is different that a screenshot posted to reddit with no real details and names painted out with what looked like the same brush as other proven fakes from 6 months ago. Next time try harder.[/quote]

That ‘brush’ is literally a standard image editing tool on an iPhone. There is nothing about it that is fake. If you had even an ounce of inside info you would know that the screenshot was legit. I can’t speak to those earlier ones (never even saw them). [/quote]
There were 2 documents/screenshots that were proven to be fake and looked exactly like this one. The chances are pretty good that this one was faked as well.

Kind of interesting that everyone else has moved on accepting that it was faked but you.[/quote]

Ok. You’ll be proven wrong again. Your track record is that you’ve been wrong on every single decision. Maybe sit this one out? [/quote]
You've been proven to fake documents and screenshots 2x.

Sorry partially right guesses dont count.[/quote]

I haven’t faked or created anything. Just commenting here like anyone else who has seen them floating around.

That being said, a ‘right guess’ is still better than always being wrong… Again, you may want to be introspective and figure out why you keep being on the wrong side of reality. [/quote]
You lied + got caught + werent right. Then happened to get partially lucky with your guess.

Obviously you dont understand that lieing is wrong even if your lie happens to turn out partially correct. Something about ethics that you dont get.[/quote]

The best part is I am the poster of ECNL grad year comment and have been busy and what a delight come back and see you blaming it on somone else and allow it to fry your brain just like I knew it would lol

I’m not making up anything by the way that was really told to me by my clubs ECNL director when I asked about my son who’s a July born player but started school late and his response was ECNL will have rules in place but his understanding is senior year would basically be what we are all referring to as grad year (with rules he believes as long as you are under 19 as of 8/1 you will be able to play).

This will also effect juniors for showcases as well where if you’re a junior (age rules of some type apply) you will be able to play U17 showcases but may have to play U19 for league play.

All this will come out eventually I’m just spreading the good word… [/quote]
It sounds like youre the only one with a fried brain.

ECNL already has a Junior/Senior group called u18/u19[/quote]

U18/19 is Juniors and seniors together they are saying it will be broken up Juniors on one showcase team and Seniors on another team. [/quote]
That wont work. The reason u18/u19 exists is because juniors commit early and suddenly they dont care if the team wins or loses. If you split out the age groups it will just make the issue even worse. To address clubs will fill the gaps with lower level players that recruiters dont want to see. [/quote]

That’s already happening many ECNL teams have to bring RL players to U19 showcases because the college commits   don’t goto showcases.[/quote]

D1 recruiting is usually wrapped up by the end of junior year so by senior it’s usually D2 and D3 watching at showcases. The lower level NL girls and RL girls are their targets so that makes sense.[/quote]
This is also why the GY Guy wants Juniors and Seniors to attend Sophmore level Showcase events. He wants 2 maybe even 3 bites are the apple depending on how many times he can hold his kid back in school.

Starting to see why just adding a rule to SY that Aug and younger players must play on a team thats their grade makes sense? If you dont do this people like the GY Guy will continue to push for GY initially at events like Showcases but once this occurs the next phase will be league. Ultimately club soccer will look just like HS soccer. Which will translate into much less money for clubs because the same players will be consuming 3x the resources. Which will mean less demand from all the rest of the players/parents.[/quote]

What are you talking about? If someone was in favor of GY at showcases, by definition of GY, juniors and seniors would not ever play with sophomores. I couldn’t care less what the leagues decide to do with showcases. Your statements are bizarre. [/quote]
GY defines grouping by grade in school only. If a player attends sophomore year in HS then is held back 2x this means they're a Sophmore 3x.

What dont you understand?[/quote]

You are saying that kids get held back more than twice after starting high school to get “3 bites of the apple” of showcases sophomore year? Again… just completely bizarre statements.[/quote]
I'm explaining it in a dumbed down more extreme way. But if you want the real details the way it works in Football, Basketball, LAX. etc is parents hold their kid back in 8th grade 1 or even 2 years. Then when their a freshman theyre sometimes 16 years old. From a sports perspective the kid is 2 years older than everyone in their grade. This allows them to dominate at sports. You see it all the time at private high schools.[/quote]

It’s not just private schools in cali. To make matters worse, they spend their repeat 8th grade years in “gym school”. [/quote]
I wish more parents had experience in other sports specifically ones that are dominated through high school to college pathways.

If you saw how ridiculous a 6'1" 16 year old freshman is compared to a 14 year old normal feeshman you'd understand why you dont want no restrictions GY in youth soccer. Even if someone is trying to mask GY as old for showcases or whatever. It will be quickly exploited by parents. [/quote]
