[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any Q3 and Q4s gotten offers from a higher level team in the lower age group?[/quote]bwahahahahahaha

That goes against club interest

I am curious to know this as well[/quote]

Can you explain how this goes against club interest? I legitimately do not understand, but I’m confident I’m missing something and you must be right.[/quote]Clubs don't like to promote within their club because it doesn't make them more money and blocks top slots that they can use to offer outsiders, meaning more money for the club.[/quote]

I think that’s less likely this year. There’s a whole 5 months of birthdates to pull from within the club itself. Clubs would be silly not to evaluate those kids, current kids and new kids.

My DD is a Q4, and if she isn’t moved up a level or two by going down an age group, we will look elsewhere. We know the kids on the age group below for rec soccer, so we know where we fit in, and it’s definitely not the same level as the one we are playing in at the older age group.[/quote]
Correct as you defined if the club has multiple players available for every roster position they're not going to let grade older players play down on the team. Its just much easier for clubs to avoid the 8th grade season challenges and misaligned recruiting issues.

You might see grade older players playing down on B and C teams but nobody really cares how these teams perform so it doesnt matter.[/quote]

Not talking the grade older nonsense. These are the kids born in Oct-Dec that naturally will be moving “down” an age group bc of the change to SY. They are joining teams where the kids are all in their grade. [/quote]
Even with Oct-Dec depending on when the school starts some players will go down 2 levels when switching from BY to SY. In this case players will have to play up to be on the correct grade in school team.[/quote]What are you talking about about, 2 levels? Each club is different , not a discussion of grade here.[/quote]
Just stop. College coaches recruit by graduating year so yes grade matters.

Depending on when an Aug birthday occurs and when their school cutoff occurs BY players changing to SY might go to a correct grade in school team or they'll be the one player a grade older on team where everyone is a grade younger. Usually in the second situation players choose to play up so they're on the team thats their grade in school.[/quote]Not an advice column here. Players can't choose what team offers will come from. Clubs make offers and they don't have grades.[/quote]
