[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of conversation is crazy. The vast majority of kids will stay in the same grouping.[/quote]
agree. a low percentage of kids will end up switching teams.[/quote]
Agreeing that college coaches want players grouped by grade is the first step in the process.[/quote]

who cares. the cutoff is the cutoff. If an august birthday girl is good enough to play in college, she will be playing "up" anyway.  [/quote]
If you're not planning to play in college why play competitive soccer?

If college coaches want players grouped by grade wouldn't it make sense for clubs to do this as early of an age as possible?[/quote]
This is logical and makes sense. Why are some (probabaly one person) fighting against it so much?[/quote]
Its a littles parent that doesnt understand how college recruiting works or its a parent with an August birthday + younger player that wants to play on a grade down team. [/quote]Rule of thumb says youngest kids in age group don't get to play in college.They increased probably of quiting soccer then playing another sport.Choosing to be even younger than youngest is not good idea.Thinking about playing in college for your 6 year even worse idea.[/quote]
If a kid is significantly younger than the 8/1-7/31 eligibility window. Their parents started them early or they skipped a grade.[/quote]July is youngest month then June then May. Tough for them.All other months not the youngest will be ok.[/quote]
It would actually be the other direction 8/1 to 7/31 then Aug Sept Oct etc

These players skipped a grade or they started early. Either way clubs wont want to cater to the edge cases and will put players on their grade in school A or B team.[/quote]
