It's more than "voluntarily trapped" think about it.

What 8th grade team coach wants to deal with losing 9th grade (playing down Aug/Sept birthdays) that leave the team for 2-4 months during the high school season?

Coachrs wont roster the play downs because having a winning season is how they keep their job.[/quote].

What's a 8th grade team coach?
Never heard of that

Travel Soccer goes by calendar age groups, no?[/quote]
You're just saying things to be argumentative.

Even under BY because most of the players will be a certain grade that is the grade team it represents. However SY is different 99.9% of all players will be a certain grade. Because of this and because college recruiters/coaches will look at teams by grade so will everyone else.

You can sit there saying "technically" or "actually" this is a SY 8/1-7/31 seasonal year team. People will look at you weird and walk away. [/quote]

My kids are U18 and U16 in MLS Next

They have been in travel soccer since U7 and I've never heard a coach or club refer to their teams by school grades

Why would it stop being U13 and U12 and U15?[/quote]
MLS is BY and has biobanding. You likely wouldn't hear about teams grouped by grade in this environment because they're specifically looking to not group by grade.

SY is getting closer to grouping by grade. So since none of the SY leagues currently allow biobanding you'll start hearing grade level team more and more.[/quote]

Can someone pull a soccer tournament schedule and results from the past that list the bracket groups by school grade[/quote]
Before switching to BY tournaments were grouped like this...

u14 u15 u16 u17 u18/u19[/quote]
However if leagues were to implement a rule that players younger than the eligibility window play with their grade in school. You could list the grade for different groupings. Although I doubt they'll do this because soccer people are arrogant, elitists, and stupid all rolled into one. They'll likely look down on grouping by grade because rec is often grouped this way and they want to appear professional. Which is grouped by BY ironically 🤣😂[/quote]
