[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That other thread is a toxic dumpster fire. It will get to 1,000 pages of that garbage before November 22nd.

For the sake of the travel soccer kids out there, I hope the Aug. 1 - July 31 change goes through - it makes sense. Kids want to play with their friends and classmates. Under the current system, the "ber" months have to decide if they are going to play a grade older, and this does deter kids from playing travel soccer every year.

I have a U14 who would not be affected by a change, she plays with her grade and has had a fabulous "career" over the years, deepening the bonds with her friends and classmates. If she were one a "ber" baby, she wouldn't be playing travel, and it saddens me to think of all the memories she wouldn't have had. Soccer has been a great part of her childhood.

On the other hand, I have a U12 who is a "ber" baby, has been playing with the older kids since he was in 2nd grade. It's ok, but he doesn't have the same connections with his teammates that she does. He certainly has a great time at recess when he gets to play with his friends on the U11 team. He sooo wishes he could play on their team. I do hope this change happens for the travel soccer "bers" out there.

As for the drama with the club teams, from that other thread it sounds like they are going to struggle to fill teams, teams will be filled with benchwarmers, coaches and directors are going to be thrown into chaos, teams are going to fail, and bankruptcies are eminent. Wow, the gates of hell have been opened, what is soccer thinking?

In all seriousness, clubs will go on filling teams and taking money in. The system won't collapse. I feel bad for the coaches and club directors that have to listen to this drama. [/quote]

And now you are here trying to spit your talking points to a different crowd.

Just stop spewing shit and wait until it’s voted on.

It is going to cause chaos. Short term yes, but the chaos will bring some programs down.

And this wholes playing with friends thing is ridiculous. What happens when they go to college? They get to play with friends there to? Cut the crap already and let it play out.[/quote]Imagine yelling this to a 6 or 7 year old that wants to play with their friends and telling them their will be no friends in soccer,  "And this wholes playing with friends thing is ridiculous. What happens when you go to college? You get to play with friends there to?"[/quote]

Silly argument - the college "playing with friends" piece. I was the OP on this. To be clear, I've never posted on a forum before and I'm not making the rounds "spewing s*it".

The "chaos" will be short term, and we can all do this. (Well, most of us can.) [/quote]
