[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When someone says showcases are going graduation year, what does that mean exactly for someone playing on a team that's not their grade?[/quote]
It means that anyone in X grade can play on Y team. As an example any Junior can play on a Junior team. This sounds fair on the surface but what happens in GY environments is parents hold their kids back typically in 8th grade one or two years so they can be the oldest and biggest on the team.

SY is bound by 8/1-7/31 you cant be any older however you can be younger.

The GY guy just wants to play his kid that he held back in school on club soccer teams so they can be the biggest and oldest.

Ironically club soccer GA/ECNL already groups u18/u19 (juniors and seniors) together so they already play GY.[/quote]

So what happens if an August player is a junior and playing in a team of sophomores? They will switch teams just for the showcase to go okay with juniors?[/quote]
To answer your question more directly once players get to HS you cant realistically dual roster. This is because it will be difficult to maintain communications with college coaches if your kid is playing on two teams.[/quote]Wtf you talkin' 'bout Willis? I just can't imagine how you invented this problem that doesn't exist anywhere for anyone ever. Cell phones, emails, maybe. [/quote]
