Not a mystery, pretty basic, as Eastside said, "College coaches evaluate players based on their performance, development, and potential—not the exact age grouping of their club team."

And then their are multiple guides like this recent one helping players realize that they need to do a bunch to initiate and maintain communication and how to get noticed. "For players aspiring to play soccer at the collegiate level, understanding the recruiting process is essential. One of the best ways to engage with college coaches and build relationships is through college ID camps."

There are a bunch of guides and they all point out that you being proactive is recruiting.

This is it. You impress at an ID camp and the coach says, tell me where/when I can watch you at the next showcase. So, getting to the showcase where you both will be at is critical. Not all teams/clubs can get you to that showcase.[/quote]
And they go to the Showcase only to find Aug birthdays playing down. Then immediately move on to the next player.[/quote]

When you start playing college soccer, don't you start playing with others who are three or four years older? So why would one year make a difference?[/quote]

Wait!
What?

In college the kids don't play on grade? 
[/quote]
Thats why college coaches will ignore Aug birthdays that choose to play down. If you cant handle playing with your grade in High School you definitely wont be able to handle playing against players 3-5 years older and 3-4 grades older in. college.

Pretty simple.[/quote]
100% correct age troll just wants a way to play down. College coaches see through the Trojan Horses that aren't good enough to play with their grade.[/quote]Nice parroting your own post.

Only can play down in MLSN. College coaches don't care about kids ages or their teams. They take the best players whether transfers, internationals or HS regardless of their team. Beyond puberty, the differences in age groups have shrunk. Evaluators know how to evaluate, don't you worry. [/quote]
Yes they do know how to evaluate. Which is why they'll pass on the play downer trojan horses.[/quote]Expect they said they wouldn't pass on recruits based on their age group or team. It's why they take recruits from transfers, foreign, good club teams and bad club teams. They recruit the player, who reaches out to them, not the team they play on.[/quote]
If you cant play on a team thats your grade is school you wont be able to compete in college. Pretty simple.[/quote]
If I was a college coach I wouldn't recruit Aug birthdays choosing to play down a grade.

This must have been what college coaches told FC Copa which is why they made the decision to group all Aug birthdays on their grade in school team. [/quote]"If I was a college coach" but you are not you are a random non coaching parent.

The smart bet would be to side with Bethesda, NVA, Loudon, Coppermine etc. over getting kids to college rather than FC Copa. Heck, even FC Copa said college coaches don't care  what age group kids are in.[/quote]
You're going to go even more looney than you already are when teams group Aug birthdays by grade this fall.

FC Copa said that college coaches dont care about age but they do 100% care about graduating year / grade in school. Which is why they chose to not allow Aug birthdays to play on grade down teams (and be misaligned) grouping them on their correct grade in. school team instead. Again all based on college coachs feedback.
