[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn Fusion also noted school grade main determining factor.  Seems like boys ECNL clubs got the memo that the age change was designed to align kids with school grade and if you are selling yourself as a league that gets kids to play in college, you want them playing with their grad year.  For boys, MLSN probably playing most kids with school grade too as it really wouldn't benefit them to have kids play down unless small and could bioband.  Otherwise, the HD and AD teams lose the ability to move kids up and down easily. [/quote]

Sounds more like selling  ECNL to be even less desirable for college recruiting than the top league which is MLS Next

Since they're now focusing on kids having play-dates [/quote]
More like

BY = 1/1-12/31
SY = 8/1-7/31

Both are a 12 month duration however if you're in a SY league and born between 8/1-12/31 and you want to play in a BY league you're going to need to play up to be considered. This is because if you switch you'll be playing on a BY team with players born between 1/1-7/31. Roughly 6 months older than SY. On top of that if you were playing up in SY you'd be used to playing against players 5 months other than you'd see in BY making you even more appealing to BY league teams.[/quote]
