For the purpose of this soccer discussion, it is a kid born between 8/1 - 12/31 who will have the ability to repeat a year. Most of Q4's locally play up a grade in school. My 2014 is still in elementary school while 90% of his teammates are in middle school. Q4 is the shorthand also for 8/1-9/30 kids as well although we know they are not Q4.

I have not used Q4 to describe the SY age brackets. I generally use Q2 to describe those kids who will not be at the end of the range in the SY age brackets.

LOL 😆
You think this is a biology class?

It's soccer. There's no repeating a year.
You're just playing with the same age group level name.
Everything else is a new year to continue development

That’s all fine and no one would care about it if they didn’t have to skip an age group later.

For the purpose of any discussion Q4 is the last 3 months in a 12 month period

Cool. Reference that on the pitch and see if anybody born between April and June know what you are talking about. You're right though.

Yeah, everybody knows who the youngest few on a team are.

The last three birth months in the age range. So for BY it is oct-dec and SY it is may-July.

What is a Q4 kid?

EDP Futures for U9-U10
EDP for U11
Mid-Atlantic NAL for U12 or EDP U13 for those geniuses who are "getting a head start" at 11v11 (SYC and Alexandria)
Only Alexandria and SYC play in Acela league.

I am not sure how Arlington is still in NCSL as they have to play a year up in the top division to have any competition. Loudoun, Alexandria and SYC all have their U11 squads in EDP. U11 is really the only year the local best play each other as the Pre-ECNL and Pre-MLS marketing machine splits all of these clubs apart. Instead of Arlington v Bethesda 2x a year, Arlington is playing the likes of Stafford Revolution and Bethesda is playing VRSC.

ACELA has many of the top mid-Atlantic clubs for the pre-MLS years.

Mid Atlantic U12 Academy League is one.

I wonder what the profits are for clubs in ecnl vs MLSN. All this talk of which league will be better doesn’t really interest clubs, they care about how they are going to make money. If the profits are high enough for MLSN, clubs will put up with this. If they can make close to the same amount in ecnl they will take the easier route there.

Problem solved

It might be too late but I think MLSN1 clubs can still apply to play in the ECNL National this upcoming year.
That would solve their problems.
