[quote=Anonymous]i wish bio-banding was an option since my child would be the poster child for someone who would benefit from it. I wish they would start with some sort of waiver based on documented medical issues. My child would benefit from this, not so much from the future KdB quality player perspective but from the 'he loves soccer and he would enjoy the sport more if he could play with people similar to him in terms of mental maturity and physical size'. My son is a December birthday and has medical reasons for delayed maturity and small physical stature. He's a starter on a low level team, not because he's more skilled, but because he tries harder than the other kids and the coaches respect that. He gets teased by the other kids because of his lack of maturity and they take out their frustrations on him physically.

He's not going to be a ringer for a younger team, so no one is going to care if he plays down, but the likelihood of him getting injured would go way down if he could play down a year and he's much closer in mental maturity to kids younger than him than kids older than him. So while I don't care about what level team he plays on, I do care about him not getting injured and about him being able to get along with his teammates. He might not need to play down forever, but he's young, hasn't hit maturity and would benefit from bio-banding even if it all it does is allow him to play 1 more year of soccer. If bio-banding was just tied to medical issues for lower-level leagues like NCSL, I think that would be a great start.[/quote]
