[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How valid is the rumor that ECNL is allowing 4 trapped players to move to their SY teams in January 2026? It would be great to revisit where that came from [/quote]

Well as of now ECNL has no plans of changing anything. So I would assume that was made up.

Only saving grace would be if US soccer decides to allow an early change. Which would be something they would discuss this fall during their meetings similarly to when they discussed the age group change at all.[/quote]

USSF has no influence over youth soccer since DA folded (except the YNT). This do-whatever-you-want age cutoff is the manifestation of that.

They don't control anything anymore so they can't tell people what to do anymore. USYS , USCS and AYSO were merely giving them a token proposal. [/quote]

But isn't the argument that USSF created their own private orgs (MLSN/GA) to replace DA, so that's where they show up? And, isn't this is why they left BY/SY to each organization?[/quote]
US Soccer (USSF) most certainly does control all soccer in America. You only see the youth part of what they do. They allow (grant the right) for entities to sanction (player paperwork) this is what allows leagues to exist. US Soccer also does MLS USL NWSL USWNT USMNT.

What US Soccer did with with BY vs SY is allow leagues to choose what grouping type works best for them. ECNL has made it clear that they prefer SY. Unofficially ECNL worked with US Club (who sanctions ECNL) to "encourage" all leagues US Club sanctions to change to SY. USYS has also announced that they plan to change to SY

What the ECNL hats cant comprehend is that MLS sanctions MLS Next and GA is able to sanction itself. They are both completely different than US Club. There is a really good chance that neither change from BY. For boys MLSN controls who gets to play professionally. For girls GA staying BY might be happening becasue the plan is to link GA with NWSL the same way MLSN is linked with MLS. ECNL lovers see this possibility and because of it are trying everything they can to make up that GA is switching to SY. When in reality only GA + NWSL + US Soccer hleadership know what will happen next.[/quote]
"There is a really good chance that neither change from BY. For boys MLSN controls who gets to play professionally. "P2P dad wishful thinking here[/quote]
No idea what youre trying to say.

But, I agree that MLS controls MLSN and because they're a professional soccer organization (not a school) keeping things BY makes the most sense for them. [/quote]
Please explain how BY helps them?  Pro's don't care about age groups, so it doesn't matter either way.   Long term would be easier to be consistent with everyone else,  short term a little aggravation.  At the end of three day the cutoff date is meaningless for pro pathway. [/quote]
You are a blockhead.

SY has no meaning in professional sports.

BY defines a players age which translates into their shelf life. If they're not hitting certain age defined development goals clubs will stop investing in them.

You dont understand any of this because your kid is likely a girl and all you can see is what ECNL is spoon feeding you about college pathways.[/quote]

BY doesn't define their age, birth date defines their age.  [/quote]
Sigh...

If someone says their kid is a 2014 how old is their kid? (BY grouping)

If someone says my kid is a freshman in HS how old are they? (SY grouping)[/quote]

And yet neither one of those matter when looking at a kid for a professional opportunity.  This is N of 1 situation where they will know the birthdate.  Again, BY vs. SY makes absolutely zero difference for a pro decision.  [/quote]
You just keep posting even when you know you're wrong.

BY defines a players age which translates into their shelf life. If they're not hitting certain age defined development goals clubs will stop investing in them.

So yes pro teams 100% care if a potential player is 16 or 24 and playing at the same level. On top of that it translates into the "value" of their contract and what they can expect to get paid.[/quote]
