[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Six month age groupings doubles the participation.

Yes or no?

Greater numbers is a good thing

Yes or No?

Allowing kids to fully develop before adults determine their worth is good thing

Yes or No?

Now, I said this before and I will say it again. Go to any ECNL or DA roster and I guarantee you that 70-80 percent of the players are of the higher graduation year and with Jan- June birthdays. That means just about all the Aug - Dec kids have been discarded. I bet you can guess why.

Do you see that as a favor flaw?

how does it double participate? Do you really think there are kids who don't play travel because of their birthdays? Most clubs won't cut U9, they'll just form evermore teams to house everyone who is willing to pay[/quote]

Please follow.....

I said, in very plain terms, to go to any ECNL or DA website and look at any team. You will see, without a shadow of doubt, that the majority of team are comprised of older players with birthdays falling between January and June. They will also have the higher graduation year. For example, Class of 2021. The very small percent of the younger kids on the team will have Aug - December birthdays and will be the Class of 2022.

80-90 percent of that team will be Class of 2022. Hence, they are older.

Do you follow? The younger kids, for the most part, have all been regulated which causes them to quit.

The younger kids that survived this regulation as typically good[/quote]
