[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right. The rationale for all of this change was that at elite levels internationally it's birth year. USYS said "let's do that" without considering that the vast majority of players are not elite and not ever going to play internationally, and instead are kids just starting out typically with their schoolmates. For whatever reason USYS decided it was easier to make the change for everything rather than a narrower approach, such as limiting the change to U12 or U14 and up, or just for elite levels (of course, everybody is elite!).[/quote] Aside from travel teams, how do think things will go for kids born in September- December in house league who will be younger, smaller (and a grade behind) than this new cohort. [/quote] Most House leagues aren't changing to birth years.[/quote] I just heard differently - my kid's soccer coach won't be able to coach him going forward based on this birth year rule.[/quote]
