[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the rest of the world, parents would tell their kids that the age cutoff is changing from January 1st to August 1st

Kids would showup next season to the team where they belong and continue to play soccer

Only here this would be never ending drama.[/quote]
in the rest of the world school start date and the age kids start school are different things. This is why everyone else uses BY.

Here's how it works. Legally parents need to start when they reach a certain age. It doesnt matter when school starts during that year.

This is why everyone uses BY. It makes it so soccer level is 100% independent from school start date. Which makes sense when colleges dont get involved with sports and theres no push/reason to group players by grade in school.[/quote]

This isn’t true. Even in Europe most counties group their grades by BY and also use the same groupings for soccer. England groups grades with a cutoff of 9/1 and also does the same for soccer. The date school starts for the year is irrelevant.[/quote]
You need to reread what I wrote. Its 100% true and I explained why every European and Latin American team groups by BY not SY.[/quote]

BY and SY are the same thing for most of Europe. Spain groups grades by BY. That makes SY and BY the same thing. SY is 1/1, BY is 1/1, soccer is 1/1.

In England, SY is 9/1, soccer is 9/1, BY is irrelevant.[/quote]
