[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's more evidence that echoes Arlington that this will be case-by-case ... From City SC, of Carlsbad, CA: https://ourcitysc.com/docs/age_group_changes.pdf

What is the club policy on players “playing up?”
Our club policy on playing up remains unchanged. Regardless of age group cutoffs,
opportunities to “play up” will continue to be considered on a case by case basis and will
be at the discretion of the coaches and directors based on our professional assessment
of what is in the best interest of each individual player. Decisions regarding “playing up”
will be discussed with parents individually and will be made in advance of tryouts.

● We are auditing all rosters to understand which age group each player will fall into
next year and to guide decisions regarding which age group will be the best fit for
each individual player and will benefit the teams as whole.

● We believe the majority of players will benefit most from playing in their true age
group. This philosophy is based on physical, social and psychological factors.
Age-appropriate training and games provide the best conditions to foster
development in youth players.

● We understand there are unique situations - such as players born after August 1st
who are in a higher grade level at school. However, all requests to “play up” will
still be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and must be approved by the head
coach and club directors, based on what is determined to be in the best interest of
the individual player.[/quote]
Who are the coaches and directors negotiating with themselves? Clubs will place A team players on the correct grade in school A team. The rest can play wherever they want because they're not going to get recruited to play in college so it doesnt' matter.

How hard is this to understand?
