[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote]Where does it say kids should play on grade whenever possible? Your reading into it.[/quote]

It's call inference - a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.  I learned it along with my other reading comprehension skills in grade school. [/quote]

"So we will look to ensure that players are in their correct graduation year going into their high school years."[/quote]That's one club that where they have a -78 GD in 10 games at my kids AG and just as bad in others. This is not the club setting the standard for the rest of us. Whatever they do, they aren't a vanguard, it fits a goal of the club that wasn't decided in a vacuum.

But they did talk to college coaches and fortunately told us what college coaches said. "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."

And your continued silence on Eastside is an admission that college recruiting is based on talent not age group.

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.

Think about it...

Why would FC Copa choose to group Aug birthdays with their grade in school after speaking with college coaches and getting their feedback on the topic?[/quote]
