[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question.  We are in Maryland and our club is doing a Sept 1- Aug 31 cut off, which actually aligns exactly with the school year cut off.  So the only kids playing with a different grade will be kids who were redshirted in kindergarten, or kids who started school ahead of schedule.  Why don't you guys do a cut off that actually aligns with your school calendar also?[/quote]Clubs have to choose a cutoff date. They chose 9/1 initially but switched it to 8/1. Unfortunately different school districts have different cutoff dates as well which creates the situation where some players can play down because their birthday is in Aug which is after 8/1 but before their school districts cutoff date. But this is a very small minority of players and almost all choose to play up on their correct grade in school team because playing up is allowed in the rules.[/quote]On what team in the DMV are all the kids choosing to play up? Most posts are like ECNL due, playing on age, playing up on age is very limited.

Seems you are trying to normalize grade for August to convince them to play up even when it isn't in their best interest to protect your Sept girl.

What evidence do you have to say that almost all Aug players are choosing to play soccer based on their grade? Those Facebook links you showed about 3 weeks ago said the opposite, by far most thumps up for playing on age.[/quote]
