Half the kids are screwed in 8th grade and their senior year. That said, start it at middle school and below. The rest of us already conformed to the bad current system and had teams ripped apart. Doing it again to these kids is a disservice.

Why have such a stupid system to benefit a fraction of 1% of US players that "might" go pro or play on the NT some day? Players of that caliber don't need it (they will stand out regardless of when their birthday falls) and it has a negative impact on thousands of players each year.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEasy: use GRADUATION YEAR! Like lacrosse switched to and lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the country. Colleges recruit by GRADUATION YEAR, they don’t care what month you were born nor when your state’s school cutoff is. Graduation year is all they care about so it makes perfect sense. Heard ECNL was switching to grad year to corner 90% of the youth soccer market. If USSF changes, it helps everyone and keeps their GDA alive.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYeah sure, **** the kids, make it about what's easier for the adults. Most of these kids had a team set, and it got ripped apart. Then they made new roots and have a year or two left, doing it to them again is crazy.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI've seen too many kids left without teams. If they're going to do it, do it right away. No grandfathering or graduated rollout. The sooner kids can transition on to new teams and not have to worry about this any longer, the better.
