[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did this 'missed year' go?  Did they teleport your kid forward a year?  Did he jump into a Delorean?  Your player was born in a specific year (04, 05, whatever).  If in the age group change the designation of that year changed, he cannot have 'missed' a year.  You are making an awful lot out of a label.  [/quote]

God- you idiot.

If you are an 11 or 12+ Fall Birthday when the change was made you are skipping an entire year and moving up to be with a group that has played a year of travel longer--jumping to a bigger field/more players earlier.  Yes--the older kids on the team will graduate a year earlier from HS and then your last year you are stuck with hardly any club teammates because they have already left for college.  So the year you didn't lose is the shitty year where it doesn't matter and everyone would have already applied to colleges.

It was irrelevant for most 2008s last year and every birth year thereafter.

Our club put the older kids with the young birth dates on the lower teams at the initial merge.  Yes--my Fall U12 (shoukd ha e been U11) was better than the majority of early birth dates by the end of the year.  However, missing/jumping a year in the middle part of your travel experience was a bigger disadvantage than just being a younger birth year always.  This was different.[/quote]
