Response from GA director
The GA is changing the birth year cut off and aligning with other organizations. They announced it at the AGM this summer.
Unsubstantiated rumor.
Just another random guess.
Pretty sure it was talked about at the AGM that they would be changing but it was a sort of "off the cuff" remark in a broader conversation. Nothing is official, obviously, but I wouldn't just call it a "random guess" that they're going to change. It seems like a logical conclusion given everything we know so far. But of course, until we hear it straight from the Trish's mouth, its all just fun speculation.
It is one logical conclusion among many.
Some people have a vested interest in SY we get it. But with College, NWSL and potential MLS changes on the horizon literally ANYTHING can happen.
The one thing Ive found to hold true reguarding Youth Soccer is if you dont like the direction its going just wait a couple of weeks and everything will change.
…an usually toned down response from our friend, Ugh.
The person you're arguing with seems 100x more rational than you. You’re either a new u13 or maybe pre u13 parent or on ECNLs payroll. You hate MLSN and GA but are obsessing about what they do with their league. Why do you care? Very odd.
Not the pp, Q4 GA parent here, I care, and I would think many other Aug-Dec GA/MLSN parents care too .
If GA stays BY, I am taking her to a RL team.
They are not staying BY. Don’t let the ECNL people trick you.

They did not specify what age group but I would assume 8/1 either way GA is changing from BY.
Nice opinion/guess
It’s a logical guess if you follow the evidence. But GA NOT staying BY so sorry parents and cry about it.
Your January kid will not be the oldest anymore.

Speculation 2: ECNL/RL teams will play the second half of the season (April - June) using SY. Lower teams, NPL, flights 1, 2, 3... will play Summer tournaments using SY.
Which futsal club already starting tryout next week?
One in Southern California. The season's playoffs ended about 6 weeks ago.
Two futsal clubs in our area are going SY at tryouts now.
We are in the NY area and ours look to be BY as of now with tryouts next month. I guess that could still change. Has there been any formal announcement?
Vegas nationals didn’t outright announce but basically said it was the last tournament in current format
Thank you. That was the info I was looking for.
