[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What's the point of the club making a team based on school grade when the league goes by birth date?

To appease neurotic parents who aren't serious about soccer?[/quote]

Because the "league" told everyone to play kids by school grade.  Did anyone actually read the guidance on the age group change? What's your agenda on pushing kids down a grade - does it somehow benefit your kid?  There is no circumstance where a kid playing a grade below is positive for player development or for recruiting (not to mention longevity in the sport).  The only benefit for that might be for a kid who is smaller and needs the time to develop.  By high school, any player playing down is wasting their time, and no recruiter is interested in a kid that can't even handle playing with their grade.  Clubs know this even if dumb parents don't get it.  [/quote]

The league told clubs to group kids by grade and also set the cutoff by month/year?

this madness has no end[/quote]
