[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading these comments and knowing these folks are the ones molding their kids mentality is scary

Can't get good teammates out of this batch [/quote]
I agree! The people saying that is ok to play down and that college coaches wont care if your kid is playing on a grade down tean are ridiculious. Its scary thinking about the excuses they must be telling their kids.[/quote]

Kids are being compared to other kids in their graduating year.
That's how college's recruit.[/quote]
They're also being compared to transfer portal players. So its not just the players in their grade. There's also competition from players 1-3 maybe even 4 years older that are already playing in college.[/quote]

That makes grade even less relevant than it already is

Talent, potential and college start date is all that matters[/quote]
So you're theory is that because players are competing against other players 1-4 (maybe more) years older than they are for a college roster spot that somehow playing down againt younger players in high school will prepare them to play at a higher level.

You really think coaches wont notice that players are playing down a grade.[/quote]

Maybe not since they are the same age range.[/quote]
College soccer doesn't care about age. All they care about is the 4 maybe 5/6 year if you redshirt eligibility window. College coaches only care about high school players grade in school because it tells them when players will be graduating and available to play for their team. Put a different way College soccer is like High School soccer but theres only one team.

No college coach will want players playing on a lower level of competition that their grade level cohorts.[/quote]

Who says it's lower-level competition? That's a faulty assumption. All it is like slightly younger people. Once you hit the HS age groups, there's not a big difference in level, like you see at younger ages.[/quote]
