Parents will leave clubs for that advantage and it will be the main thing people talk about instead of player development.

Don't agree about global cooling or rae but let me ask you a question. How do B teams affect or interact with your belief in rae? My take is B teams allow smaller players when younger get reps in. When they get older they'll be the same size as older players and competing for A team rosters spots.

Let me tell you what I see (2016g parent)

Asian and latin players develop early and coaches that want to win when young recruit them. But when I look at the sidelines and see that both parents are under 5'3" the early development makes sense. They're nearly full grown at u12.

So when the nonsense you try to use to prove your religion gets called out. You attack the person that actually read your link.

Thats the problem with the concept of RAE. Its the soccer world equivalent to Global Warming or should I say Global Cooling? The tail wags the dog. The conclusion dictates the research.

The problem with this is youth parents looking for an excuse for their kid latch onto RAE and use it to say that everythings unfair. Its not that their kid never touches a ball outside of practice.

Hahahaha...

Did you even read the document you linked to? First the entire document is focused on YNT actions. When they say "club" its not representing what you think the word club means. Club in the document means players selected by YNT scouts to attend youth national team talent IDs. From there they also define YNT player makeup by birth month. The document tries to say that YNT talent id selection represents RAE. This may or may not be true. I could be just as easily true that YNT scouts hate December or maybe scouts only recruit in the summer, or maybe school is on break in Jan which allows players to only focus on soccer. It was interesting that actual YNT selection wasnt really skewed to a specific month in year. Is this done on purpose (most likely) because if not it invalidates RAE identified for "club" talent id invites.

On top of everything else your RAE Bible doesnt account for B teams at clubs or rec teams. Theres so many players that arent being represented. I would also argue that YNT Talent ID invites happen at u13 and maybe u14 after that the funnels are full and late bloomer players are ignored.

Basically your doc is garbage. Its not proof of RAE its proof that YNT scouting is garbage and likely actual YNT selection is picking players based on birth month to purposefully even things out.

50 pages is a vast underestimate

lo siento! I made a rough estimate, but as a non frequent poster here - everyone is upset with this one troll.

Agreed, the troll that keeps trying to push for GY at showcases gets old.

Makes sense the August hater troll wants GY showcases. They want everything based on grades it seems in a backdoor way. So tough to follow their backward logic that just pushes their agenda.

They have spit out the same garbage and so many have told them they don't buy it. Have no idea what they are trying to prove. Can only guess that they are hoping to find one like soul. It hadn't happened yet. Like they are drowning and trying to drag everyone else down with them with their non stop pushing of an idea nobody else wants. You would think they would adjust their hair brained scheme to get some buy in, but nope, same garbage over and over.

The person pushing for a rule that younger players must play with their grade seems to be 100% against older players playing down.

The troll is the one that thinks they know everything and keeps bringing up GY at showcases. With players as young as sophomores in HS. Basically he wants Sophmore parents to pay for everything so his kid whos a holdback can play on their team at showcases in front of recruiters.

No, the August troll wants everything GY. I don't think anybody is pushing showcase changes they are merely stating the rumors. And showcases are just exhibitions so the leagues would have flexibility unlike the regular season where they don't and are all trying to coordinate on 8/1 - 7/31 without and league trying in any wrenches.

Sniff sniff... Yep smells like the GY troll.

Sorry you can keep trying to spin the truth but we all know that you want GY Showcases so your kid can play downnon younger teams in front of college recruiters.

Nope, anti-GY in all its ugly hours and hybrid forms.

Well at least you're admitting it was you (the smelly troll) pretending to be someone else. Tell me.more about how you don't respond to your own posts.

What?
