      Yes, terrible issue in Redneck, USA

        School year makes more sense for more paying customers. Which is another whole debate. The paying customer part.

Riddle me this - why did baseball and Lacrosse try this then go back? Because they saw school year was a positive. And don't tell me it's for international equivalence. That impacts less than .5% of all US soccer players.
          They don’t plan on going back to the old way. With different school grade cutoffs across the country, that wasn’t perfect either. They will be moving forward with the new actual high school graduation year age groups. 99.9% of players end goal is college. Colleges recruit by high school graduation year. Repeat. Colleges could care less what year a player is born. High school graduation year is all colleges care about and ECNL will play this ace up their sleeve for the benefit of their coffers and the benefit of the 99.9%. ODP and NTCs and any special national identification programs will stay birth year.

            School year makes sense everyday of the week. Birth year has only produced negatives.
