Reality is right here.

As we move toward the 2026–2027 season and beyond, [b]our goal is for teams to be fully aligned with a player’s school grade whenever possible. [/b]This provides greater social continuity, roster stability, and a clearer long-term development pathway.[/quote]

As a coach, I would love to have a solid team, then have some parent come demand I take his kid with 3 left feet to play up so he/she/they can be with their school friends [/quote]
If a player isnt good enough to play on their grade in school A team then they play on their grade in school B team. Pretty simple[/quote]Just didn't work out that way.

If you can't play up, you don't and then you make the highest level team you can in your age group. The way it's always been.

ECNL said 8/1 and they couldn't add grade criteria because their is no official paperwork that can verify grades across the US and ECNL can't put teams in some states at a disadvantage based on school start years.

This one has been over for about a year now. 8/1, best play up if they are good enough, college recruiting not hurt because you just have to max your skills which is often from playing on age and then market yourself to colleges, like now anyway when the time comes.[/quote]
