[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why won't this thread die already? and yes i recognize the irony that i am continuing this thread by commenting on it.  but seriously, the age change is happening and it is going to be whatever it is going to be for individual aug 1-dec 31 kids, as determined by each kid's individual club, so can we all just move on to arguing about other stuff?

The issue is clubs are dumb and arrogant. The people at leagues are even more dumb and arrogant. Parents need to call them out or they'll make poor decisions.

The age guy is exploiting the situation because he wants to play down and if more parents are doing it with him he wont look as weird. He doesnt care that Aug birthdays playing down a grade will makes them misaligned with level played in club and grade in school which will screw players over when college coaches are looking to recruit them.[/quote]Except college coaches told clubs they don't care what age groups recruits are in. You are inventing a problem that doesn't exist so no, leagues and clubs aren't going to try to fix something that doesn't exist. [/quote]
Why do you just repeat the same wrong statements. College coaches only care about a players graduating year or grade in school. Which if parents followed your advice would lead Aug birthdays to being misaligned between level played in club and grade in school. College Coaches will ignore this type of player. Can you address the issue by attending oollege camps? Maybe but why even play club soccer if you plan to get noticed at college id camps not club events?[/quote]
Very clear, no spin.

Will this impact college recruiting?
The new two-year age group structure will not negatively impact college recruiting. College coaches evaluate players based on their performance, development, and potential—not the exact age grouping of their club team.

That is just nonsense that a club said so parents wont scream that its stupid for Aug birthdays to be playing down on a team with players a grade below them in school.

Again club and league people are arrogant and dumb. When people try to explain that what clubs are doing doesn't make sense they consider it a challenge and double down on being stupid.

Copa FC actually spoke with college coaches to get their feedback on the subject and after doing so chose to group Aug birthdays on their grade in school team. Which btw is what most clubs are doing if they actually take the time to speak with college coaches getting their feedback on the subject. [/quote]
