Gives clubs some options and it's better than TN or MO or KS in December! I was always surprised that they had the January Florida event and another right after it...our club would typically only do the January event. Our club has already told us that Arizona and the January Florida event are in for next year and will be considering what 3rd event to attend for the U16/U17 groups.


the spring ecnl event in florida is very, very small. more of an rl event with ecnl teams allowed to enter

Not all of them. With the new age group change there are going to be many sophomores on U15 teams.


You have it backwards:

U13 - mostly 7th graders
U14 - mostly 8th graders
U15 - mostly freshman
U16 - mostly sophomores
U17 - mostly juniors
U18 - mostly seniors

The only misalignment would be if there was an August kid who moved to a younger team




Exactly. You say it yourself — there’s misalignment. Many August/September girls who are U15s are repeating U15 next when they’ll be sophomores. So I don’t have that backwards but keep mansplaining please.


i think you are very wrong ... august/september sophomores would be u16 again - not u15 again.


There are some Aug/Sept 2011 kids that will be sophomores in the fall that will repeat u15. That’s a fact. Nothing to debate about.


Some - not many more like you seem to think, which is what I'm correcting. There are far less and if you're being honest with your actual team you'll see the number is very low. My kid's current ECNL team has 4/18 misaligned. Next year is 0/18. Yes, most clubs are going to move kids into the new brackets which are as I described above.

I know kids that are 2029s that will be sophomores and play u17 and u16 next year ... what 2029 that would be a sophomore in fall would play u15 next year. what month are they born in? i have to be an idiot i guess if i can't figure this out.

No one said anything about current sophomores. We’re talking about current freshmen who will be U15 again.

You have it very backwards, there were FAR more kids in the "wrong" grade for recruiting than before. Yes August is less than Sept-Dec

There's also going to be a lot of U15 eligible Sophomores that don't play U15 because they will want to play with their grade and not repeat U15 just because they can.
