Won’t be a bandaid rip more like letting it rest in warm water than a gentle pull to remove.

It would be nice if the leagues or whatever started to announce plans. Perhaps they are waiting for ECNL playoffs to finish so news end of this month? I think we all just want to know definitively at this point. That would be crazy if a league adopts 8/1 and 9/1 and decides based on state. People are dumb, look at half of the people confused on this thread, so i dont hate on the calculator. But it is just getting annoying that little information has been announced. Rip the bandaid off so we can all move forward.

The fact that US Soccer needs to provide a calculator to help parents figure out what age group their child plays based on league, club, and team level is crazy!

We should have all stayed BY just cause it’s easier to understand, but if the U system identification is going to mean 2 different things depending on which league the team plays for within the same club or between clubs for that matter, then about it.

Parent of a fall boy and yes, staying BY would have been preferable to two different registration systems. We potentially will drop down an age group to a SY team to then skip u12 to go up to a BY team.

Most places this "choice" isn't going to be up to you. There's no dropping up or down. There is just the new normal.

I’m not following you. The age group is the age group. Mlsnext club and u8-u12 will be SY and u13 and older will be BY. If he’s placed appropriately for his age, he will repeat an age group at the ulittle ages and then skip an age group to go to an mlsnext team.

Some parents feel that their kid is super special will stay with the current team and play up. While some kids will play up for various reasons, there's absolutely no reason to assume you are guaranteed to stay on your current team just because you've been there with a fall birthday.

Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying. Repeating an age group and then skipping an age group is what would happen because we aren’t guaranteed to stay with the current team. Would rather have everything stay BY than deal with this.

Would be a nightmare for identifying/recruiting players within their own organization to determine 1st-3rd teams each year. Definitely will alienate the families. I could see some of them quitting soccer altogether at u12 because of this alone.

The age calculator been up for a while. And yes, a complete cluster.

Is the statement from calsouth new or has it been posted for a while and someone is just now drawing attention to it?

Do they expect orgs to choose 9/1 still? Seems that should be removed given the latest announcements.

I guess national platform leagues could still choose 9/1. I don’t think US soccer is in the business of simplifying things.

Did someone say SY+30
