[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our club, they have said that 2005's will play U12.[/quote]

That's what they should be.  There was some initial confusion in the announcement by USYS.  What matters for most clubs is the year league play ends - given the August-June soccer "season" for leagues around here, next Fall is the "2017 season".  That means someone born in 2005 is U12 (easy - 2017-2005=12).

For DA, they may play a "season" or tournaments that end in 2016, which means that 2005 kids would be playing U11, at least until the end of 2016.[/quote]

The DA will probably switch to the new policy NEXT season. They were frankly caught unprepared this season. Switching will mean adding U19 play -- otherwise, some players would age out of the program before they go to college.[/quote]

Is it worth it for 2005s to go to U12 development academy tryouts?  At one point in winter, clubs had it advertised as 2004/2005.  Now I see many have changed it to just 2004 on their websites.  [/quote]

If they're really good, I'd think it couldn't hurt. At least get him on the radar for next year.[/quote]
