[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone it’s me, the guy who mention grad year for olders showcase. I like to pop
In every once in a while and say hello.

Many pages have gone by and don’t want/care to read it all but noticed a few people or one? Twisting what I’m saying.

So I’ll say it slower.

My friend ECNL Director girls/boys club as well as another buddy works for usclub helping oversee one of the big SoCal soccer leagues.

Has told me what ECNL/RL, MLSN, GA and even big non league college showcases like surf cup are considering is allowing players who are age eligible for U18 ONLY so that would be for players in 25/26 born between Aug-Dec 2008/ Jan-July 2009. 
If you fall into this group and are a junior you would be eligible to attend showcases for U17 if you’re a senior you should play showcase matches with U19.

So yes there is the potential for an age difference of 23 months for U17 just like there will be for U19 as the current chart would be Aug 2007-July 2009. Al’s 23 months.

The rationale is at the highest level of youth competition this should not affect player ability as most players have reached growth spurts and such at this point.

It is strongly being considered to start next year and would just be involved within each league or tournament rule book.

It may get tabled until 27/28 to allow for a year for the dust to settle with new age group changes.[/quote]
Wont happen. Once college coaches get SY again with Aug birthdays playing with their grade in school teams they'll be happy.

Allowing play downs just creates an arms race for parents who will hold their kids back in school. Which means 16 year old Freshman and 20 year old Seniors.[/quote]Looks like you found the one "pushing" for a 36 month age gap starting rumors and he specifically pointed out that it wouldn't be a 36 month age range, it would be 23. So nobody was ever pushing for a 36 month age range, it was all just a lie by you. Good to have that settled.[/quote]
