[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Colleges don't recruit soccer players from High School 
What decade are you living in?

If you're a U16 playing U15, the only person you're fooling is yourself, because no College wants you.

You're calling a fact a theory.
If not talent, potential and graduating year, what are colleges looking at?[/quote]
Agree 1000%

Unfortunately there's a very persistent troll that monitors this thread  24/7 saying that playing on a grade down team isn't a big deal and that college coaches wont notice.

Now that details about SY are starting to come out from clubs its becoming more and more clear that they will group by grade within the 8/1-7/31 context. (ie younger players will be forced to play with their grade)[/quote]Multiple people aren't trolling when they are countering a disinformation campaign where one loud poster is saying that they want August kids playing up an age group  so their September born kid can be the oldest in their age group.

It is surprising that the person hasn't gotten another self centered parent of a September kid to join them but I guess even they realize that is a ridiculous fruitless effort to stump for a new rule on a random forum that doesn't make sense to anyone but the most self centered.[/quote]
You are the disinformation campaign.

You just dont realize it because your kid is likely a little or on a lower B/C team.[/quote]

You know your wrong, so you're going personal. So typical.[/quote]
How is pointing out that you're naive because you haven't been in a recruiting situation yet "going personal"?

You dont understand how things work once recruiting and college coaches are involved. You're trying to apply what you've learned attending tournamants and league games but its not the same game.

Instead of being a know it all. Step back, listen, and learn. [/quote]
