[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School year increases participation at the youngest ages, which increases the quantity and quality of players later. School year also eliminates trapped players in the MS/HS and HS/college transitions. It was a shortsighted switch to BY and it should be corrected. It will be a headache to correct, but it will be good for players (trapped players) and good for the system in the long run. [/quote]

No it is not an issue. It is not worth the effort for few the “trapped” players. Go play rec.[/quote]

Newsflash, for most kids in club soccer, it is rec.  If I've learned anything from this thread, it's that almost 100% of the narcissistic aholes with zero empathy love BY.  And, shockingly, their kids don't give a flying F about playing with friends nor can they understand the losers who do.[/quote]

You sound like a narcissist trying to explain what a narcissist is.

Not a single person on 4 age groups at my club want to change.

This is coming from a trapped parent. [/quote]

Every person I've talked to in the real world echoes what the podcast described: SY was the more logical cutoff, they think it was a mistake to change to BY, but they are unsure whether it's worth changing back or not because of the disruption.

[/quote]

100% agree. Parents at our club regret the change to BY primarily because it made soccer less fun by separating friends from rec days. Obviously some people who have trapped players are also personally affected. Split on whether it's worth going back now and especially if only some leagues do it.[/quote]
