[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 can get even weirder...

Currently in BY Aug-Dec birthdays are playing up a grade at a higher level team. When leagues switch BY to SY most Aug-Dec birthdays will play on a team thats their grade in school.

However some Aug/Sept birthdays depending on when they started school will go from playing up a grade to playing down a grade on team with players a year younger then they are in school. Imagine that situation you're not repeating the season youre repeating the season twice.[/quote]Aug and Sept kids just won the RAE lottery and know have a better chance of playing in college as they will become the oldest in an age group. Best leagues, best teams, best coaches, best positions, best positive feedback and most min. Enjoy it.[/quote]
Their grade in school hasn't changed in BY or SY. Aug-Dec birthdays are either the oldest in their grade or the youngest

In BY Aug-Dec birthdays play up.

In SY most Aug-Dec birthdays will play with their grade but some play down a grade depending on when they started school.[/quote]Travel soccer goes by age not grade. Oldest will be August and September, they are in the driver's seat to be the oldest and reap the rewards if they work hard and don't butcher things.[/quote]
If they're looking to play in college you'll want to be on a team thats your grade in school.

As multiple people have told you multiple times on multiple threads.[/quote]Social media, highlights, interest in team, Id sessions, Showcases are part of being recruited.

Find a college recruiting guide that advises playing up an age group as necessary to be recruited before you tell others of your nonsense.[/quote]
