[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are taking 2011 kids at travel tryouts????    :shock:  :roll:  :roll: 
They are 6. 
How the heck does a 6 year old even know what they like or don't like?

I thought it was bad enough that the birth year thing means that 7 year old (old) first graders have to try out for next fall.

I have older kids and their skill level and interest at 6 or 7 has almost nothing in common with what they like or are good at now (4th and 6th grades). 
And yet parents are signing up to schlep their 6 year olds to soccer 4 days per week?  
Egads, i think we have lost our collective minds.

No, nobody is looking at or taking 6 year olds for travel for travel soccer. There might be the occasional January 2010 kid who "plays up" because they missed the cutoff over a couple of days or a few weeks. [/quote]

Who are you? ...So you know for a fact that all those girl play-ups are all January 2010s in 1G???  Doubt it.

There are surely some of them who are 6 year olds with summer/fall 2010 bdays who are in kindergarten right now and did the tryouts.
The travel race starts earlier and earlier. [/quote]

Yes, the deeper into 2010 you get the less likely it is that any kids are playing up. January to March sure, but it would be pretty rare for many kids younger than that to be playing up. It isn't uncommon for 1-3 kids to play up but to act like "six year olds are now playing travel" is severely overstating the facts.[/quote]
