Can a player play up an age group?

Yes, a player may be chosen to play up. The decision on player placement is made by coaching staff and technical leadership with several factors in mind - player skill level, soccer maturity, current development level, predicted future development level, and player commitment. A player who is selected to play up for one season may continue to play up during additional seasons or be placed back with their appropriate peer group at some point.

Q: Can players play up an age group?

A: Playing up is a coaching and technical decision based primarily on the player’s skill level, soccer maturity, and overall development needs. While Arlington Soccer allows flexibility in certain cases, playing up is the exception rather than the rule. Each situation is carefully evaluated by the technical staff to ensure it is in the best interest of both the individual player and the team.

there must be a very strict guideline coming from the top for both ECNL and MLSN.  But there is a possibility of staying on same team if your kid is good.  [/quote]
It's not a strict guideline. Both leagues recognize that with SY there is a possibility for players a grade older to be placed on a grade lower team. This doesnt work for recruiting which is why its being called out. They're being vague about the wording so clubs have the most options in these situations to maximize profits.[/quote]You are in the bartering stage of wanting kids to play up. Acceptance of it continuing to be very rare (except for small Ulittle clubs), as the clubs and ECNL states, will have to arrive Fall 2026 for so many.[/quote]
