[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So IF GA is going to switch, announcement before the fall season or before spring?[/quote]

September seems like a good time to publicly announce if they are changing. 
Will GA bring back its late developer clause basically biobanding for 25/26? 
Let GA teams get a head start or keep BY but help clubs keep their Aug to Dec players.[/quote]
GA never had a "late developer clause". Before last season GA had roughly the same rule as ECNL for trapped players. Allowing then to play down a level when they were in 8th grade and the rest of the team was playing High School soccer. GA removed the rule because everyone ignored it.

Please dont spread wildly untrue nonsense.[/quote]

You’re incorrect last year was the first time it was taken out of the rules.
They used to allow smaller born players to compete an age group down. 
Only for U13-15.

They 100% had a late developer rule from 2020-2024[/quote]
You are correct...

"Late Developer: Club requests parameters and metric datainformation from the league to submit. Approval/Denial will comefrom the league ofice. Requests restricted to U13 & U14 AgeGroups."

Ive just never seen this used before. Most clubs would just find a different player and put the smaller player in a lesser league until they got better.[/quote]

I think they got rid of it because directors and the leagues hated extra work. Soccer people hate anything that involves helping kids if it means extra work for no additional money.[/quote]
Biobanding works with boys when theres a smaller player with skills and big/tall parents. Its fairly obvious that once they hit puberty they're going to get bigger. Puberty with girls is more gradual theres not going to be a huge change in physical attributes.

Just doesn't make as much sense for girls.[/quote]

So because a girl is really small now they shouldn’t play against competition closer to their same size? But if a boy is small he should because only boys hit puberty later on?

I think that’s a dumb argument. My kids isn’t small so wouldn’t qualify but we have a girl who’s tiny could probably play 2 years down and still be regular sized. She gets beat up playing girls who have gone through puberty already.

I think girls just don’t want to play younger players they want to play with their teammates. Usually boys don’t care what team they are in boys will just play.[/quote]
