[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School year increases participation at the youngest ages, which increases the quantity and quality of players later. School year also eliminates trapped players in the MS/HS and HS/college transitions. It was a shortsighted switch to BY and it should be corrected. It will be a headache to correct, but it will be good for players (trapped players) and good for the system in the long run. [/quote]

No it is not an issue. It is not worth the effort for few the “trapped” players. Go play rec.[/quote]

Newsflash, for most kids in club soccer, it is rec.  If I've learned anything from this thread, it's that almost 100% of the narcissistic aholes with zero empathy love BY.  And, shockingly, their kids don't give a flying F about playing with friends nor can they understand the losers who do.[/quote]

You sound like a narcissist trying to explain what a narcissist is.

Not a single person on 4 age groups at my club want to change.

This is coming from a trapped parent. [/quote]

Every person I've talked to in the real world echoes what the podcast described: SY was the more logical cutoff, they think it was a mistake to change to BY, but they are unsure whether it's worth changing back or not because of the disruption.

Everyone I talk to in the real world says BY is and was the way to go back in 2018.

Who do you hang out with? My kids club is MLSN, EA, GA. DPL, SOCAL and rec teams. (West Coast)[/quote]

ECNL and E64.  I know one MLSN parent, outside of my soccer circle, who does think BY was right for MLSN but everyone else should be SY.  [/quote]

I’m ok and prefer for everyone to change and MLSNext and hopefully a girls equivalent stick to SY. I like the idea of a separate path from those who play soccer for fun or whose final goal is college, from those who care about real development and pro or top d1 programs. [/quote]
Be careful what you wish for.

On the boys side colleges almost always recruit MLSN players over ECNL.

Why would you want to play in a league that only caters to college recruiters when all the college recruiters prefer players from the "pro" development league?[/quote]

I’m PP. I don’t. My DS is in MLSNext and I prefer the kids in that league to have the similar mindset of pro or high level D1. [/quote]
