It doesn’t make sense for any player to play up and be a sub if you ca be a starter in your own age group.

But players/families can do whatever they want.
[/quote]Agree and most around here aren't allowing playing up unless you are a superstar.[/quote]
Might as well play town/rec if you have no aspirations for playjng in college.[/quote]

I agree with this from the view why pay all this money if your kid has no interest in playing in college. However if a kid wants to compete and their highest level possible then go do something else for college that’s alright also.

That being said your comment makes no sense based off what was being discussed?[/quote]
Meaning if Aug birthday players intend to play in college they need to play on their correct grade in school team. If they dont college coaches and recruiters will ignore them.[/quote]

All the BY September- December birth months college soccer players and current committed recruits are scratching their heads[/quote]As are the Jan- July recruits that got recruited while playing with half the age group in a grade down.[/quote]
Again in BY trapped players are playing up.There are no other options.

In SY Aug/Sept and sometimes Nov qualify for the grade down team. If they choose to play on that team they will be ignored by college coaches when it comes time for recruiting. The easy solution is for Aug birthdays to play up on their correcr grade in school team.[/quote]In BY, Jan- Jul were playing in a grade below. Didn't hurt recruiting. Easy solution is to stay with facts, birthdays rather than something variable by state, school start ages which grades don't even have official documents to report to verification firms. College coaches said they aren't ignoring anyone, they don't care about age groups. Recruits have to seek out colleges.[/quote]

What a web we weave when we aim to deceive [/quote]
Yep everyone can see that clubs are going to play August  / September birthdays on their grade in school team.

Age guy is going to kick and scream even when it happens. Trying to convince patents to play their kids down. When a few of the idiots that choose to play down describe the difficulties that had to go through for college recruiting nobody will pay down anymore.[/quote]

It's really youth soccer that's leading this AND telling people recruiting will be OK in these rare situations. It set up the rules this way, knowing it wouldn't perfectly align.[/quote]
The rules are 100% setup so Aug birthdays will play on their grade in school team.[/quote]

And the rules are 100% setup so Aug birthdays can play in their age group. And anyone, not just Aug bdays can play up. Hopefully, it's because they are good enough and that makes sense soccerwise.[/quote]
Theres no hopefully its better for Aug players to play on their grade in school team for college recruiting and its easier for clubs to manage because everyone on the team is the same grade in school so theres no 8th / 9th grade weirdness with high school soccer.[/quote]It's tough for for clubs to roster across age and grades than just age obviously. Especially without true grade documentation across thousands of school districts. And players have a better chance at college recruiting being a better player on age than an age group up with college coaches not caring what age group recruits are in. Players do 90% of finding colleges they want to attend and play for. Not realistic for clubs to find colleges for kids with all the different academic and geography options.[/quote]
Keep reaching, clubs are already announcing that they plan to group by grade. Everyone will end up doing it because its easier for the club and better for the player when it comes to college recruiting.[/quote]

You copy and paste well

But I think the people have had enough of your pot stirring nonsense

We all know the leagues go by month and year DOB 
We also know how college recruiting works

If it needed kids on clubs grouped by school grade, recruiting wouldn't be happening today

Be gone
