No…if you have September birthday and school cutoff is Oct 1, you will not miss a fall soccer season in 8th grade and you will be playing competitive showcases as an 11th grader.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

If our school cutoff is September 1st and my birthday is October 1st, and we are proposing August 1st, how does this help me?Comment

You will be one of the older kids on the team rather than younger. The youngest on the team will be born in July rather than December.Originally posted by Guest View Post
In your 8th and 12 grade your club team will have a fall and spring season.

How? I'm older, missed the cutoff, and will be an 8th grader when most everyone else my age will be a 9th grader.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Flip it around. If school cutoff is Sept 1, the soccer cutoff is back to Aug 1, and you're born in Aug, then you'll be a 2nd grader stuck on a team of 1st graders.Originally posted by Guest View Post
Or you'll be a 9th grader playing HS ball and missing your fall club practices with your team mates who are still in middle school. Maybe it's not a problem if the club is accommodating for the fewer students that this will happen to.
To me the biggest change when we went to BY might have been the sheer fact of reshuffling all of youth soccer. Does any of this really matter enough to uproot the entire system yet again?Comment

Actually no…if you miss both cutoffs, then you will a u14 in 8th grade just like everyone else who was born after 9/1 and before 7/31 the next year.Originally posted by Guest View Post
In the Aug 1 cutoff system with your proposed scenario of school cutoff being Sept 1, the only kids adversely impacted are the kids born in August…and they would be 9th graders on a u14 team…so they would have to choose between club and high school soccer in 9th grade (unlike in the birth year system which they would be left without a soccer option in 8th grade)Comment

a one time disruption to get rid of the lingering issues for trapped players as well as the u-littles issues is worthwhile imho.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

A big fuss over a trifle. Truth is that majority of D1 college soccer players, men and women, are more and more coming from overseas.Comment

I mean, clearly not a _majority_, Class of 2025 is currently < 5% international per https://x.com/ImYouthSoccer/status/1795500280466882706Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

And they would never play on a u18/19 team as well as their last year of club soccer would be u17 before they go off to college. Not sure if it is a big deal or not.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

If this happens it won’t be this fall. So those of you are arguing are u little parents. The 6th grade and under parents that cling to a dream of your kid going pro. Listen if your kid needs to have the cutoff for age changed to be successful or let as is to keep their advantage of being a Jan baby they aren’t going D1 or pro. Talented kids are not affected by the trapped player BS. They’ve been essentially playing up since they were 5. They have gained more playing up a grade than losing one fall season as a trapped player.Comment
