Additional Note - Players “trapped down”

Due to the 8/1 cutoff for soccer and 9/1 school cutoff in California, many players with an August birthday will be eligible to play in the age group younger than most players of their school grade. This could put those players at the very disadvantage that the age group change was designed to avoid.  The bright side, however, is that the solution to this problem is entirely in the hands of clubs.
 
Remember, US Club and NorCal place no restrictions on players playing in an older age group.
It is (and always has been) entirely up to clubs to decide if they want to:
Allow all players to be selected and primarily rostered to an older team if they choose
Allow no players to be selected and primarily rostered to an older team
Allow players that meet certain criteria to be primarily rostered to an older team
Possible solution:
Continue to have whatever rules and restrictions you currently have (or want to have) for players who want to play up into a different school grade.
Remove any restrictions for players playing up into their school grade.[/quote]

Well this puts an end to the Aug kids will be forced up if trapped down argument. Where’d that guy at?[/quote]
Seems pretty clear that if a player wants to get recruited in college they need to play on the team thats their grade in school.[/quote]Clear to you but not true to everyone else because players get selected not teams. They don't find you so much you as you find them blows a hole in theory.[/quote]
