My kid prefers to play  with his grade because it suits him better socially and I think it makes sense too as he is the strongest and fastest on his BY team. But I fully understand another Aug parent on our team to put his son in a lower grade team as his son is late in his puberty, small, sitting on the bench on our team most of the time.[/quote]
Do you believe less talented Aug birthdays playing down should be on A teams or should they be put on a correct grade in school B team?

This is the issue. If they're playing down on an A team players and parents would look at that player as stealing a roster spot from a kid in the correct grade.[/quote]

Our age group’s B team is also very competitive and beats the younger A team consistently. This kid is very technical just small in his age group now. He can play a much bigger role in the younger group. In highly competitive clubs, no one care much about other parents feelings. Everyone wants play time and bigger role, You can either compete or not[/quote]
Well, most people disagree with you're playing down scenario. Not only would they be play on a team with kids a younger grade in school. They'd also be taking a roster spot from a kid the correct grade/age for the team. Also if the corrext grade B team was competitive there’s literally no justification. Players would develop better on the B team.[/quote]Case by case, nobody on high competitive teams forced to play on grade. You get to decide for your kid and fight with the club to let them play up if you want grade year so bad.[/quote]

No coach is taking your kid on their good team just because of their school grade[/quote]
Works both ways Clubs wont let Aug birthdays play down just to be the biggest on the team. You need to develop withh players your grade to get recruited by college coaches[/quote]

Another ECNL club ...

Will this impact college recruiting?
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.

Thats not how it worked pre 2017 (before switching to BY) which is why you never heard of players playing down back then. Everyone played on their grade in school team.[/quote]

Some 5% of players -- an average of 1 team played not in the correct grade last time.[/quote]
Not on good teams. I never saw it or heard about it.[/quote]

And I believe you said you were a parent with a kid on a high-level time, right? So, just because you never noticed meant it never happened? That's rich. Be curious, dude![/quote]There would have beeN no real way to notice. Kids don't run around the field with grade numbers on their backs.[/quote]
Ok 👍 whatever you want to believe. I never saw or heard of players playing down because we switched to BY.[/quote]You don't see a lot of things. Like how to spell lieing or argueing correctly.[/quote]
You sit on this thread 24/4 trying to make your dream of kids playing down a reality [/quote]
The GY showcases rumor you were trying to spread didnt pan out because you dont understand how the u18/u19 group works.. A know it all and ignorant with a play down agenda are a difficult combination [/quote]
