https://www.facebook.com/groups/scholarshipsforsocceracademy/posts/25741948872099537/

This one is kind of interesting because you have Aug/Sept/Nov birthday parents and because of BY their kids are currently playing up on a grade older team they want to stay with their current BY team which is a grade older. But most recommend playing on the correct grade in school team. Literally nobody recommended playing down a grade on a younger in school team.

Something else I've noticed is clubs that are in districts whose cutoff is Sept/Nov (New Jersey, Wisconsin, etc) are being very clear that Aug/Sept/Nov birthdays play with their grade in school team. Even if it means playing up. This is probabaly happening because they have 2-3 months of players that could potentially play down and it would cause chaos and be impossible for the club to manage. Everyone seems to use college recruiting as the rational for playing on the team thats your grade in school.

Clubs that aren't listening to parents and think they can dictate which teams Aug/Sept/Nov players will roster on (playing on a grade down team) will have issues. [/quote]It's been over a day, thought you were ill (like beyond mental).

You are completely misreading the thread. The person is trying to get their kid to stay on their BY team as they have a kid with a fall birth. Nobody likes change so no surprising. Contributors pointing out clubs generally block playing up.

Lower tier clubs allowing playing up moreso than competitive teams.

Clubs are in the process of pushing as many Aug-Dec birthdays as they can to play on age. Playing up in competitive clubs is for the best of the best, has nothing to do with grade.[/quote]
No I dont work for the State of Virginia I cant sit online all day not working.[/quote]Being in Cali while on this thread all day, nobody suggesting you are from DMV area.[/quote]
Hahahaha keep trying.

Only a few more months before rosters start being posted for next fall and SY team players are all the same graduating year (grade in school).[/quote]Grade just doesn't matter for club. Going to be more playing up off grade than down and you won't be able to find out because the only place that posts grade, ECNL, collects it voluntarily and has about 1 in 5 wrong.

It's over. Leagues said 8/1 and gave guidance that only the best play up. Clubs agreeing and willing to evaluate case by case. Nobody being forced up on top competitive teams.[/quote]
You really need to get out and speak with other people to get their opinions. 99% of the comments online are for Aug/Sept/Nov birthdays to play on the team thats their grade in school.

It's just you spamming for playing down.[/quote]Pretty hypocritical. You keep trying to revive a dead thread to create grade year with bogus "facts." That Facebook site is as generic as the web gets without anything relevant. It's been over. US Soccer said 8/1 and ECNL gave guidance to avoid playing up unless dominant and ECNL clubs agreed, case by case to play up and no one forced to play up. That misinfo campaign to get parents to ask to play up didn't work either with people understanding RAE and college coaches saying just become the best player you can be regardless of age group.[/quote]
You're the only one beating the play down drum.[/quote]Not true. I haven't been for or against biobanding. Merely pointing out what is happening, not what I want to happen.[/quote]
I'm against biobanding.

Once biobanding is introduced defined groups Age or Grade no longer matter.

This is why MLSN1 can stay BY and its no big deal.[/quote]

The top soccer minds and clubs in the world are fully in favor of biobanding

But I say, if John the Accountant is against it, we should all rethink it[/quote]
It depends on what you want out of youth soccer. Clubs make WAY more money grouping players by grade/age and keeping the groups seperate than they do in an Acadamy type setting where you see players playing up and down according to whatever you feel like.

This is the issue with playing down. It enables a small percentage to be a superstar while everyone else gets frustrated and quits. [/quote]

None of what you're saying relates to the real world and how things actually work[/quote]
