[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This new age rule going into effect seems like it is only benefiting the average or below average players and it’s a punishment to those that are the younger talented top players by keeping them playing the same year twice!  How are they suppose to be challenged and grow if they are already better than the older kids on their team but also the opposing teams?  How is this a positive change for those kids? We know if we stay where we are at our child will play up but if we move clubs then we are looking at likely having to play the same year twice unless the club makes an exception.    It seems very unfair. [/quote]

It’s impossible for a system that is “fair” to everyone. There will always be kids who are negatively impacted by any age group change. But as has already been discussed numerous times over this 400 page thread and the other 1000 page thread on this topic, this was change is designed to minimize the impacts not altogether eliminate. And also as already discussed, every club that has discussed their plans for transition has provided for the possibility that your kid wouldn’t have to repeat their current age group. If your kid is truly above the talent for your loser kids in their current age group, they shouldn’t have an issue making a team in the next age group in the new system. Best of luck to your kid either way. [/quote]
