Switch to Grad Year
Switch to Grad year if you want the US to improve. Should’ve gone to grad year a long time ago and numbers would’ve kept climbing.

One of the dumbest moves ever. Leave it for DA if US Soccer feels the need but let everyone else go back to grade-based teams. Keep more kids playing with friends (they have to enjoy it to want to participate) and stop having thousands of players trapped in 8th and 12th grade

Changing from grade to birth year was a stupid idea. It actually tore one of my kid's teams in half. I wonder if they can measure a decrease in soccer enrollment as a result?
Anyway, going back is probably the right thing, but will also cause distruption.
U.S. Soccer and such boneheaded decisions is why we can't have nice things.

ECNL will switch to “graduation year” so everyone in every state will be on the same page and everyone will also be on the same page with college recruiting. Lacrosse went to the logical graduation year and lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the country. Soccer needs to adapt or continue to lose numbers to lacrosse and other sports.

This is still in the early stages of discussion. Nothing is official but for the most part, it seems like most all are supportive of a return to school/grad year teams. Let national team level players play up if they need to for development. Let the rest of the kids enjoy playing with their peers and eliminate all this trapped player nonsense.

the entire thing was incredibly stupid - glad they are considering going back, but still pissed that it created so much havoc with my own kid (2006)
