Just like the other 2 -- where soccer skills, not grade, determines things.

Yes. Clubs don't want to say straight up "Aug-Sep players have to move down" so they don't lose customers to one another. So they carefully word it and say exceptional circumstance.  :lol: [/quote]
Agree × 1000%

Clubs are going to say whatever keeps your kid engaged and you paying. Then once you've paid and can't switch clubs easily they'll announce all the changes one night and the next day and going forward new teams will be implemented.

You wont get a choice unless your kid is a superstar, has multiple options at other clubs, and you pay in full. Even then it will take being a squeaky wheel.

I bet club docs and top coaches already have 99% of all expected moves already mapped out and ready to be implemented. They're making minimal changes depending on which players from other clubs reach out.

For top teams clubs will group by grade and they wont allow older Aug/Sept players to play down. Other teams may or may not allow playing down. Either way it doesnt matter because these are not the players getting recruited to play in college and the teams aren't being defined by the highest level of skill.[/quote]
