Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI assume all the big clubs will make the change this coming fall. Maney Maple small clubs already have mixed year teams to fill out their rosters, so chances are that those won't change. However, I do think that the small clubs who cannot help the 8th grade 2002's next fall will lose those kids to larger clubs who can probably field a mixed level 2002 team for the fall.
Possibly playing in maple will help those smaller clubs. If you look at the club list for maple over half the clubs are now town programs. I would guess less than 10 clubs have been around more than 5 or 6 years (Liverpool, Jssa, Hamlets, Galway-to name the few I think play in maple still). That may mean that the majority of maple clubs would have teams where 50% of the team is "playing up" so perhaps the impact even on smaller clubs wouldn't be that significant. Who knows.

First, the statement MAPLE League is redundant.
Second, I'm not sure there is a more confusing way of describing age groups than what Mass Youth Soccer just did. My head is spinning.

Yes, the grade group labeling is hard to grasp when reading that document. This matrix may be helpful for better understanding...

Only the highest leagues should be going to the new birth year age groups. All others should be school year for friends to play together and have fun.
