[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the only people who don't understand how school year would be better are either Jan-Mar parents or have rec-level players who aren't looking at college play.[/quote]

How would breaking up every single existing youth soccer team make things better?  Why can't you understand how disruptive and negative that would be?

How do you you think changing the birth date cutoff would poll among current youth soccer players?  [/quote]

I know exactly how disruptive it was. I lived through it. I also see how the new system doesn't work well, and we should fix it. [/quote]

Everyone else prefers to avoid the disruption again, you just have to live with a imperfect system.[/quote]

You don't speak for everyone. There are many folks (and most importantly a lot of coaches) who would prefer we switch back. [/quote]

What coaches would prefer school year?  They don't care for their players to play with their buddies.  They want kids who are there to get better.  On both of my kids teams once they entered travel, they never had more than 1 or  2 kids that went to the same school.  The school year cut-off we had before wasn't even true school year as I think schools in VA go through Oct 1st. Other states have different dates What was the old cut-off?  August 1st? Why would a coach want to worry about a middle of the year cut off or what grade they are in.  Birth year is less complicated.  Regardless of what is used you are always going to have some kid who is 11 months than another player.  [/quote]

Its for scouting HS graduation classes at showcases. They scout class of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 years in advance.[/quote]
