It was cool when there was some sort of "breaking news", but what are we even arguing about now?[/quote]
Age guy wants older players (holdbacks in school) to play down against up to 36 month youger players in leagues and events.

If Aug birthdays play on their correct grade in school team all players on the field for games are the same grade in school. Which is what college coaches want.

If college coaches get what they want theres no reason to play older players down against younger players.

This is why age guy is fighting so hard against Aug birthday players playing on the correct grade in school teams.[/quote]What club in the DMV allows kids to pick playing up if the club deams there talent not good enough?

If you cant show one with this policy, your point is mute.

Repost saying someone they want kids playing down 36 months or shut up about your myth.[/quote]
I've gone through the math with you before but sure I'll explain it again.

School cutoff is say Sept 1st. This means Sept 1st and presumably one year younger will all be in a specific grade.

if a kid was born on Sept 1st and held back two times which is the max schools allow they will be 36 months older than a kid born on Aug 31st (youngest possible for that grade).[/quote]Nice belligerence.

Ok, so no clubs allow choosing to play up around here and nobody asking for GY at showcases (except you for Aug kids).[/quote]
Its called math which is probabaly somehting you're not familiar with.[/quote] Nice dodge again.

No clubs allow choosing to play up around here and nobody asking for GY at showcases (except you for Aug kids). But you keep complaining about nothing.[/quote]
Watch what rosters look like for top teams this fall. All players will magically be the same grade in school.

If you want to really see whats going on look at the 8th grade teams which almost always will have all players the same graduating year (grade in school).[/quote]Will wishcasting no proof. Kids go to school late, early, skip grades, get held back. Not all teams will be on grade because of this and because most travel teams don't know or care what grade kids are in.

No, you are setting unsuspecting parents up for holding their kid back in school if Aug birthdays play down a grade.

What will happen is college coaches won't pay attention to them because they're playing down. So to address parents will hold their kid back in school to align grade in school and level played in club and get another year of recruiting.[/quote]Clubs in DC won't allow choosing to play up.so your wrong.

And your rando opinion has already been proven wrong.

Eastside FC said college coaches don't care what age group you are in. Play wherever, college coaches evaluate transfers, redshirts, foreign and HS players from good and bad teams. They take the best fits regardless of team the recruits play for.

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.

Again, college coaches dont care about age because graduating year / grade in school is all that matters to them.

If Aug birthday players play down and are misaligned they will get ignored by college coaches when they're looking to get recruited.[/quote]
