[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every parent I speak with isn't interested in having their kid play on a team with kids a grade younger. No idea how the kids feel about playing on a younger grade team but I wouldnt have wanted to do it when I was young so I assume they're the same.[/quote] Doesn't matter, age groups based on birthdays. Can't make everyone happy. Clubs will blackball for complaining.[/quote]
If you dont want your kid playing on a grade down team and some club chooses to "blackball" your kid for not playing down a grade whats the difference? You end up in the same place either way. Finding a differnet club.

Also its ridiculous that you'd even float the idea that clubs would blackball players that dont want to play on grade down teams. I cant think of a better way to clubs to lose paying customers.[/quote]You sound like a girl dad. Boys teams are highly competitive because there are twice as many boys competing for top teams.  They segment the kids by age not height or weight or grade.[/quote]

Yet MLSNext has bio-banding and no girls league has it [/quote]Apples to oranges, girls puberty ends so much sooner. But sure you could argue that boys is much more competitive trying to get on the highest level teams compared to girls.

Bio-banding literally contradicts "they segment kids by age not height or weight". Not sure how you could be more wrong?[/quote]They is ECNL. This is an ECNL thread btw.[/quote]

This thread is about anything and everything - and when people say stupid stuff - it gets called out. [/quote]ECNL segments kids by age not height or weight. Nothing stupid, just a fact.[/quote]
