[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leagues based the SY rule on DOB not DOB plus grade.

Making charts to change things to the way you want things doesn't work.

Sept. kids not the oldest, August kids are.

It's over.

Im providing factual data in an aligned format. You dont like it because you know that once people associate club level with grade in school. Which everyone will do because it plays a role in college recruiting. That Aug parents will choose to play their kid on the correct grade in school team.

11v11 = U18/U19 = 8/1/2007 + younger = Senior
11v11 = U17 = 8/1/2009 + younger = Junior
11v11 = U16 = 8/1/2010 + younger = Sophmore
11v11 = U15 = 8/1/2011 + younger = Freshman
11v11 = U14 = 8/1/2012 + younger = 8th grade
11v11 = U13 = 8/1/2013 + younger = 7th grade
11v11 = U12 = 8/1/2014 + younger = 6th grade
9v9 = U11 = 8/1/2015 + younger = 5th grade
9v9 = U10 = 8/1/2016 + younger = 4th grade
7v7 = U9 = 8/1/2017 + younger = 3rd grade
7v7 = U8 = 8/1/2018 + younger = 2nd grade
4v4 = U7 = 8/1/2019 + younger = 1st grade
4v4 = U6 = 8/1/2020 + younger = kindergarten[/quote]

It's not factual, there are July kids who will be in lower grades than the ones you are listing. What happens to them?[/quote]
I cant fix everything. July birthdays will have to play in whatever age defined group they fall in. There are very few schools that actually started in July.

Players in this situation will end up like hold backs. This is because playing down is not allowed. [/quote]

Can you update the matrix to include this scenario? I'd like to share the matrix with parents on my kids team but want to make sure grade alignment accounts for all the kids [/quote]
Its already covered.If your school started in July or players were held back they will be older than 8/1 which is the date US Soccer chose to make the oldest for each level in club. If they're older than 8/1 but in a lower grade theres nothing that can be done because you cant play down. They will not be able to play on the "correct" grade i. school team until u18/u19.[/quote]

But then they can't play on grade until its too late. Are they out of luck for college recruiting?[/quote]
Being misaligned (especially misaligned down) makes college recruiting significantly harder for players.

Even in BY where trapped players are playing up being misaligned makes things more difficult for players.[/quote]This harder for recruiting things that you need to stick to make that Aug kid not be on your kids team isn't sticking. Because90 percent of recruiting starts from the player and they are keeping with transfers and foreign players. Transfers and foreign players are playing with that "correct" grad class either.
