High School isn't a single grade. It is 4 class grades with a swing of as much as 7 years between the youngest and oldest high school players. While I agree kinder soccer should be by grade, by U10 or so, calendar year age can be implemented relatively easily. My kids played mixed with all different ages, skills and teams and gained something from every session. Parents, players and coaches that focus a child's development on a single team are doing them a disservice.

Quite a twist for town. Everyone was expecting advantage to shift to spring birthday kids... but they end up worse off than before. They will be forced by grade to play up and in the most extreme scenario could be playing against kids 2.5 years older than them rather than just 2 years.
These same kids can play club and be in the top half of their single year!
