No incorrect. It has nothing to do with that.
It all depends on when school districts choose to make their cutoff dates. The latest Ive heard is Nov. Which means the most players would need to be is 16 months younger than Aug 1st. There are very few schools like this. 99% of schools start by Sept which would be 14 months younger at most.
It's over. Top teams set.
So you've seen rosters posted? Id love to review players graduating year.
Ya, players looking to get recruited often enter the wrong graduating year so college coaches will ignore them.
🤣😂🤣😂
Then why play ECNL or GA or MLS or whatever?
It's so obvious that you are a know it all littles parent. (with an agenda to encourage playing down)
Whatever floats your boat.

Its also humorous that you obviously dont understand how gade cutoffs work. All your grades are off by one. You're trying to spin a narative and dont understand math.
This is for next fall when SY starts.

4v4 = U6 = ≤ 8/1/2020 ~ Kindergarten
The ~ means approximately.
Approximately means the level ABOVE, below, or correct level.
What you wrote is incorrect because by defining the upper bound and ~ there needs to be a level above and there isnt because its not possible.
