But they don't let players around here just choose to play up.

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.
Tough break. Mid March and no DC club said they are forcing grade year on August kids only.

It's over. Top teams set.

So you've seen rosters posted? Id love to review players graduating year.
Only ECNL rosters list self reported grade, and many are wrong. Other teams don't bother to know kids grades and don't post. We do know DMV clubs posted that playing up is limited to being related and based on skill not grade.

Ya, players looking to get recruited often enter the wrong graduating year so college coaches will ignore them.

🤣😂🤣😂
Not every kid on ECNL roster cares about recruiting.

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)


Some kids just love to play at the highest level they can and are cool not playing college and just HS.

Yea, thats what B teams are for.
Troll.

Wrong because 5 year olds playing against Seniors in HS is ridiculous. You are ridiculous.
Find a rule rule that says it's against the rules or stop posting incorrect info.

When you're grasping at straws like what you're doing now you've lost the arguement.
Grades not part of rules, ages are. You never had a chance.
