Allowing kids to play up in bulk numbers is the drama leagues and clubs are avoiding at all costs.

That makes no sense

It does if you run a club. Many parents don't get it for sure, they think their DC deserves special treatment, that's the drama, that's the problem.

Kids wanting to play on teams.with other kids in their grade in school is normal. The fact that you cant see that is problematic.

It's also normal for kids to play with different grades, now in BY and before in SY, especially in travel when you typically don't play with actual classmates. Both should happen where appropriate.

No, playing on teams with players that are all a grade younger than your kid is not normal. In fact the entire switch back from BY to SY was done to allow more players to play on teams with other kids in their grade.

You want August players to compete against kids 13 months older because the school system doesn't have a standard cutoff date?

If my kid was an August birthday, yes I'd want them on a team with other players grade in school.

It's the "if" part that matters. Without an August kid, you don't get a vote on what any August kids does. Travel is 8/1 - 7/31. Thems the rules.

Nomsense I have just as valid of an opinion as any else. I also don't want grade older players on my kids team.

A club makes you a team offer. You accept or decline. Club decides other players. Grade not in travel, it is age based. All facts. Everybody has an opinion but they don't matter if you aren't a decision maker.

Are you dense? As soon as one player changes clubs because of a grade older kid playing down clubs wont allow older kids to play down any longer. If older players were good enough they'd be playing on their grade in school A team. If not they play on their grade in school B team.

Too much speculation to take serious.

Your choose is to be unhappy not dictate new rules that nobody else wants to protect your kid from playing with kids a grade older. They are going to have to toughen up for HS btw.

I don't want tall kids on my kid's team. Soccer should force tall kids to play up. I'm am so unhappy, woo is me.

That's literally the situation right now.
School grade is irrelevant to an age based system regardless of when the cutoffs are.

Normal and not normal are perspectives based on opinions. Meaningless essentially.

Travel soccer wants ages over grades for a host of reasons; fairness, safety, accountability, policing, etc. School, rec and travel have latitude to play with friends. Mid and upper level travel has latitude to go case by case for the best players to challenge themselves. The rest is a 12 month window, like the soccer gods have chosen since the beginning of time.

You would better serve your child by constantly communicating with your club to have them set the team to suite your child's special needs.
