This is what is going to happen no matter what you all want.

11v11 = U16 = 8/1/2010 -7/31 (May include Junior/Sophomore/Freshman)
11v11 = U15 = 8/1/2011 -7/31 (May include Sophomore/Freshman/8th grade)
11v11 = U14 = 8/1/2012 -7/31 (May include Freshman/8th grade/7th grade)
11v11 = U13 = 8/1/2013 -7/31 (May include 8th grade/7th grade/6th grade)

9v9 = U11 = 8/1/2015 -7/31 (May include 6th grade/5th grade/4th grade)
9v9 = U10 = 8/1/2016 -7/31 (May include 5th grade/4th grade/3rd grade)
7v7 = U9 = 8/1/2017 -7/31 (May include 4th grade/3rd grade/2nd grade
7v7 = U8 = 8/1/2018 -7/31 (May include 3rd grade/2nd grade/1st grade
4v4 = U7 = 8/1/2019 -7/31 (May include 2nd/grade/1st grade/kindergarten)

This one is for next fall when SY starts.

U18/U19 = ≤ 8/1/2007 - 7/31/2009 ~ Senior
U17 = ≤ 8/1/2009 - 7/31/2010 ~ Senior
U16 = ≤ 8/1/2010 - 7/31/2011 ~ Junior
U15; 8/1/2011 - 7/31/2012 ~ Sophomore
U14; 8/1/2012 - 7/31/2013 ~ Freshman
U13; 8/1/2013 - 7/31/2014 ~ 8th
U12; 8/1/2014 - 7/31/2015 ~ 7th
U11; 8/1/2015 - 7/31/2016 ~ 6th
U10; 8/1/2016 - 7/31/2017~ 5th
U9; 8/1/2017 - 7/31/2018 ~ 4th
U8; 8/1/2018 - 7/31/2019 ~ 3rd
U7; 8/1/2019 - 7/31/2020 ~ 2nd
U6; 8/1/2020 - 7/31/2021 ~ 1st

Using U14 as an example what this is saying is...

1. They play 11v11
2. Players turn 14 after Aug 1
3. Players are younger than or equal to 8/1/2012
4. Players are most likely in Freshman and lower

Not correct because players younger than 7/31 can play up.

This is happening. No playing down, playing up limited based on talent and team request and you won't know the grades with any certainty of the opposing players because it is not collected and verified.

ECNL admin team is discussing this and will make decisions shortly could possibly be tabled until 27/28 season. But it’s coming.
Makes a lot sense on the girls side. Can lock out GA from swiping high level teams. Yeah, it's coming. Then the showcases by graduation year to include USYS with ECNL will be a great sell for USYS.
