[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is thick. DA parents freaking out. The entitlement cracks me up. No they are not going to make a change because the EX DA people are worried about their kid making ECNL. There are many age groups and it has all worked out. You don't change back and forth every few years and no my kid didn't benefit is not part of the elites who are fighting about a new way to game the system.[/quote]

Why would DA parents care? This is all about the u littles. Being a year older vs everyone else is great at u9-u12 at u15 does not matter as much. [/quote]

School year would be fine for U13 and under.  Maybe the top U12/U!3 academy teams would still use birth year.  Would make it difficult for promotion/relegation within club though.  I don't think it matters much for U13 and older.....but if not on a top team, then being a social butterfly with classmates likely has a lot of importance.  The 8th to 9th grade transition is a problem if middle school and high school soccer are different seasons.  But ECNL started bending the rules this year and allowing a couple of these older 8th graders to play down on a U14 team during each game in the Spring.  [/quote]
