Clubs will have tryouts like usual, and sort the kids into teams like usual.
Its not complicated. Unfortunately with SY a door has been opened for Aug and younger birthdays to play on a grade below them team. Most clubs wont allow this and will put these players on their grade B team if they cant make the A team.

agree. a low percentage of kids will end up switching teams.
Agreeing that college coaches want players grouped by grade is the first step in the process.
who cares. the cutoff is the cutoff. If an august birthday girl is good enough to play in college, she will be playing "up" anyway.
If you're not planning to play in college why play competitive soccer?
If college coaches want players grouped by grade wouldn't it make sense for clubs to do this as early of an age as possible?
This is logical and makes sense. Why are some (probabaly one person) fighting against it so much?
Its a littles parent that doesnt understand how college recruiting works or its a parent with an August birthday + younger player that wants to play on a grade down team.
If a kid is significantly younger than the 8/1-7/31 eligibility window. Their parents started them early or they skipped a grade.

Hahahaha.
If your kid is on a top team have them tell their coach that they dont plan to play in college. Unless they're a unicorn the coach will drop them for players that want to play in college.
Go play rec.
Looks like people dont share your opinion. Maybe you should just let it go.
They were talking to you.
