[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another club grouping by grade...

School Year Alignment
Exemptions may also be considered when a player's birthdate places them in an age group that does not align with their current school grade, and remaining with their grade level peers would be developmentally appropriate.  As an example, if a player has an August birthdate and the new Age Group Change places them with peers in a grade below them.

And a Facebook thread where multiple parents are saying that their clubs are grouping Aug/Sept players with their grade in school teams.

Big club in Texas where Sept 1 is the school date. Our club said for August kids, they will have conversations and are open to playing with the appropriate grade. However, thats it.  If some kid just started school early for vibes or whatever, they just will play with their age group.

I dont understand why a club would block an Aug birthday player from being on a team thats their grade in school. It makes things easier for everyone involved. [/quote]

Being open to it isn't blocking a player. The player may reconsider if it's not the team/level/playing time they want OR find a new club, I guess. I don't blame clobs for wanting to set teams by soccer ability, first.

Still, Aug/Sept b-days in older grades are actually in the cat bird seat. They have way more flexibility than anyone as clubs seem to bend over backward to allow them to play up at SOME level. It's not like Jan/Feb in BY could argue grade to play up.[/quote]
