[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another reddit thread with most posts recommending that August birthday players play up with their grade in SY.

How about those in September that are also in the higher grade. If you are going to allow August then do the same for September. It’ll be a mess for large clubs to manage this. [/quote]
If Sept birthdays are a grade up in school but in the lower grade eligibility window in club they'd be in the same situation as Aug birthdays. It all depends on how their school district splits things out. It becomes an even more difficult choice to make.

Just because your district is weird for when they chose to start school doesn't change how college coaches will view players. They see all players by graduation year or grade in school only.[/quote]College coaches track graduation year to see when they are allowed to talk to recruits and when they would be available.

But they don't care what age groups they are in as youth players.

"The new two-year age group structure will not negatively impact college recruiting. College coaches evaluate players based on their performance, development, and potential—not the exact age grouping of their club team."

Correct college coaches use Graduation Year for recruiting. You're finally starting to get it.

The next phase is to admit that players playing down are the least likely to be recruited for their graduation year / class.

Playing with your grade will address the issue making Aug birthday players more marketable to College coaches. [/quote] Perpetuating an inaccurate perspective doesn't make it more truth but to the user it becomes their false reality. You have not offered proof of your position so it unfortunately can not be considered accurate at this juncture. Please true again later with evidence of your statement

Coaches need to know when you can matriculate but don't care about your youth age group. Be best.
