[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the league did not change the brackets from U12, U13, U14 to 7th Grade, 8th Grade, 9th Grade, then this infinity argument is even more ridiculous for continuing

The league says age brackets using month/year

Which morons are still lobbying for same grade teams?[/quote]
When your kid gets older you'll understand. But hint hint college recruits by graduating year. (not age)[/quote]But most importantly, college coaches told clubs and on Facebook they don't care what age group you are in, just be eligible to go to college and be the best player you can be. And get good grades. College coaches recruit by graduating year but they don't recruit be youth club age group [/quote]
Again, glossing over the part where FC Copa said that they plan to group Aug birthdays by grade based on college coaches feedback.

You just keep trying to run with the statement that college coaches dont care about age because graduating year (grade) is all that matters to them.[/quote]College coaches told FC Copa and Eastside that they don't care what age group a player is in only that they are eligible and these clubs reported as such. You don't offer any information to dispute this. Therefore the statement stands as fact.[/quote]
How are you so dense? FC Copa literally said that they are going to play Aug birthdays "up" on their correct grade in school team.

The part FC Copa said about college coaches not caring about players age is correct. BUT its only because all they care about is players graduating year or grade in school.

Again because college coaches only care about graduating year or grade in. school FC Copa has chosen (based on cillege coaches feedback) to play Aug birthdays on their grade in school team. So they're not misaligned during college recruiting.

You using FC Copa as an example its obv[/quote]Eastside and FC Copa said college coaches don't care what age group kids play in and you agree, "The part FC Copa said about college coaches not caring about players age is correct." So solved.[/quote]
They said college coaches DO care what level Aug birthdays play it. Which is why they chose to group them with their grade in school. You are so dishonest.[/quote]Find a quote where FC Copa specifically states that college coaches care what age group August kids are in as eligible recruits or stop with your belligerence of the obvious. College coaches said they can only recruit whoever is eligible and they don't care the age group and here is the actual quote. Eastside verified this take. I recognize that your whole idea of trying to misinform kids to play up for college recruitment is blown apart by the statements which is why you can't accept what the clubs are exactly reporting.

FC Copa from video

"We had separate conversations with several college coaches. Those college coaches made it incredibly clear that it does not matter what age is they will only recruit them once they hit their junior and senior years."

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.

For players already in the club, their body of work over the previous year—training, games, tournaments, and coach feedback—will continue to be the primary factor in college recruiting exposure. For new players, tryouts provide the opportunity to demonstrate skills and fit within the club environment.

Additionally, Eastside FC will continue to provide structured recruiting support through workshops, panels, and guidance for players and families. The new age group system may actually provide more consistent training and development opportunities by balancing teams across two birth years, helping players continue to grow in a competitive and supportive environment.[/quote]So you can't find one saying college coaches said they care what age group kids are in. It's ok. The above quotes from the clubs saying college coaches don't care about age groups stands.[/quote]
FC Copa literally said that after speaking with college coaches they chose to make sure players are aligned to their graduating year aka grade in school team.[/quote]
