[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the oldest, August players have the highest chance to play in college under SY.[/quote]

Except for any Aug players forced to play up because of grade. Then, they become the youngest. So stupid of an idea.[/quote]
Not even close to the dumb idea of playing down a grade and thinking that college coaches wont notice.[/quote]

The truth is being misaligned will make it harder just like it'll be harder if you are forced to play up. Both would be an extra hurdle to overcome. Not impossible in either case for the talented/hardest working but it would stymie many others in either situation. Interestingly, with how it's shaking out, we'll have clubs some clubs that go with grade and the oldest and others who make it case-by-case.[/quote]
Correct being misaligned will make college recruiting much harder. To address there are two options. Play up with your grade or get held back a year in school. Either way you'll align grade in school with level played in club. Most rational people in this situation will choose to play on the correct grade team.

Why go through all the challenges of being an oddball. Just play your kid on a correct grade team from a young age. When it matters they'll be used to playing at the grade level college coaches are looking for.[/quote]
That doesn't mean you always need to play with your grade though.   Especially for girls when they are 14 or 15 they can realign to play with their grade.   They will be done growing at that point and the RAE effect is much much less than it is when they are Ulittle ages.  [/quote]
Thats a lot of extra effort just to use rae to justify playing on a grade down on an A team. You dont think these type of players wont piss off correct grade parents? You dont think these type of players wont become a problem for 8th grade teams when they're playing HS soccer for 3 months during the season? You think correct grade teams will welcome a less developed player from a lower grade team? [/quote]Switching teams isn't extra effort, it is often what is required as kids get older to put them in position to play in college regardless of being misaligned or not. Others parents are always pissed, nobody cares, welcome to travel. If you are positioning you kid to keep other parent happy, you are parenting wrong. Players aren't welcomed to new teams, they just show up. Thinking a team is some kind of democracy is your problem, it doesn't work that way.[/quote]
You are completely selfish and wrong. Coaches / Clubs will filter out parents like you after a couple of seasons. Seen it happen multiple times. Unless your kid is a unicorn which I doubt is the case since all you want to do is play down. [/quote]In sports, following the rules isn't selfish, it's competition. Saying someone is selfish because their August girl is better than your Sept girl is loser talk.[/quote]
I dont know where you got the the Sept thing but 1 month between players wont make any difference.

Sure you go and try to bend the rules to your kids favor all you want. Snowplow away. But don't be surprised when playing down that correct grade parents get tired of you. Also dont be surprised when you try to play your kid up at u14 for college recruiting and the team is full.

You seem to think that everything happens in a vacuum and that your actions wont generate a reputation. Just like with college coaches you're not going to sneak by playing down. There will be repercussions.[/quote]It's not one month, for Aug and Sept kicks playing up a grade, they would be the youngest by 13 months compared to the oldest. Remember that char you showed where December births had the few est pros. It's facts like this that show the right path to excel. Bend the rules. You funny.[/quote]
