DA website changes DOB to YOB to hide birth year hypocrisy

[Unregistered]

We were told that the the DA would allow November/December 2002 late bloomers to play down an age group this season for developmental purposes. US Soccer is actually allowing DA teams to roster January, February & March 2002 players on 2003 age group teams in reality. Do they read this forum? Less than a week ago they were called out in another topic here. Now they've erased all month/day information for every player from the website. The height of their hypocrisy has been erased from public view. Are they protecting themselves from scrutiny or simply enabling particular clubs?

HAHA! Yes, you are right they did. It’s all just about development. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

Since the Revs are guilty of this I'd bet they made a phone call to the US Soccer hotline. I'm picturing a red phone under glass like in Wayne Manor.

US Soccer reminds me of the current White House right now.

The concept of young 02's playing with the 03's is an excellent one. Sadly we're talking about youth sports, though. Results are the driving factor so coaches take liberties. That the governing body has blatantly gone out of it's way to cover up evidence of clubs chasing results by making a mockery of the new rule speaks volumes about the depths to which the US Soccer program has fallen.

Perhaps people should out the clubs that are breaking the rules. Just post the club name here.

That will harder to proven because of their latest maneuver.

Incredible how much power your TS posts have.

Now if you would just get them to think about franchises, relegation and focus on professional soccer instead of college scouting we'd be well off to world class status.

Huh? The hypocrisy of their policy was pointed out and they erased information to conceal the true ages. What does that have to do with power? They win. They control the info. Get back to the herd sheeple.

This is a sad state of affairs.

Sounds like they are simply realizing the value prop for youth soccer in the US is College not NT. By allowing moves "for development" they are reverting back to Academic Year clustering the late 02s (oct - dec) with the older RAE 03s (Jan - Jun) as the recruiting class of 2021. That's what coaches want, that's what parents want.
