The parents that want to hold back their stupid kids so they can be the biggest on the team are posting with a vengeance.

You know so it's "fair" for their kid. [/quote]Other than crazy August guy, can anyone cite a previous post from  a poster where they actually advocated for grade based youth soccer? Not relaying information like showcases might be grade based or college coaches might want it, but actual advocating for grade.[/quote]
Yes college coaches want SY but by grade. These are the people recruiting players to play in college.

Cubs like SY but by grade because it makes grouping players easier.

Leagues like SY but grouped by grade because it insures all players on the field during a game are the same grade. This makes it easier to college recruiters to review players because they dont waste time looking at players that atent graduating the year they're looking for.[/quote]A simple nobody else here but August loon wants GY would suffice and as illustrated from the question being ignored.[/quote]
Its not GY its SY grouped by grade which is a HUGE difference.

SY grouped by grade does not allow holdbacks play down against younger players.[/quote]Walks like a duck, it is GY.

Holdbacks are too convoluted to accurately define and police based on 50 states having differing rules, people moving, international kids, homeschooling, lack of true documentation so not policeable, etc. but you already knew that. That is why a 12 month window has and will be used. Enforceable and standardized documentation are huge for clubs and leagues.[/quote]
No its very different SY grouped by grade doesnt allow holdbacks which is where 99% of the issues with GY originate from.[/quote]SY grouped by grade would creat multiple cohort groups across a 12 month period. Meaning youth soccer would have about 3 categories for each age group, on grade, up a grade and below a grade with no way to consistently define or document grade. Not realistic. Remember, clubs needed 12 months to code their databases to go from BY to SY.[/quote]
No, SY grouped by grade would have one team per grade. You might want to invest in a calender.[/quote]SY is 8/1 - 7/31. Grade differs by state. Leagues don't want different rules for each state. You haven't overcome the logistics at all. Which is why all in the know recognize that a 12 month ago window was is and will be used.[/quote]
It doesnt work that way once recruiting is involved. To get noticed you need to play with your grade in school. Nobody cares about a 1-2 month variance when you're competing with players 1-4 years older including the transfer portal for a college roster spot.[/quote]

Do you like being called a Moron?

You think the colleges are two daft to know what the graduation year is for the few players they're trying to recruit?
You do know there's only a few spaces in each recruiting year. Colleges don't need 15 Freshman on their soccer roster. [/quote]
