Why would league let older kid play with younger kiss, that doesn't have any sense?

heres a whole thread on it

[Guest]

simple look up the rules if you dont understand its not a hard concept

I understand, 2008 born kid is plying on 2009 team, that is the bottom line.

[Guest]

no it is not its a 2008 kid who is still in 8th grade who cant play hs league (clearly) and has no fall league because everyone u15 is playing hs league therefore they are "trapped" and essentially are allowed to "play down" because they are trapped

Can kids born in June, July or August of 2008 play on 2009 team or is it kids born September - December 2008 only?

based solely on birth year. Month does not matter. Jan1 2008-Dec 31 2008 are on the 2008 team. They COULD play up on 2007 or 2006, but never on 2009

Doesn't sound like you understand the trapped-player issue. Is mostly an issue for younger 8th graders whose teams are HS-aged and don't have a fall season (most of those players are playing HS soccer). For example, 08 players are U15 now, but there are some players born in 08 who are in 8th grade. U15 has no fall season and 8th grade has no HS soccer, so those young 08 players have no place to play unless the league their team plays in allows 08 players to play down in U14 in the fall. and ENCL allows this

I am asking about trapped players not your regular players.

I don't think you understood my question about limits on birth months. There are current 8 graders born in June, July or August of 2008 (not just September -December 2008). These kids will be year and half older than kids born in December 2009. In my kids grade there is a boy is born in April, 2008 that is current 8 grader. Parents hold him a year specifically for sports. He is going to be able to play against 2009 kids even he is almost 2 years older to some of them.

Yes this can absolutely happen.

Only as a “trapped” player this fall season-once spring comes he will play on age again. also, ECNL rules only allow 2 to roster to play with an 09 team (or year younger). The other teams have a similar “advantage”.

Ok, thank you for the explanation.

I don’t really mind the rule, but I so not think it’s particularly necessary. The trapped player is not missing out on an ECNL season bc in hs the season switches to winter and spring. I wouldn’t mind if they simply allowed the trap players to practice with younger girls but when season points are being factored into league games it seems a bit unfair. I guarantee you a trap player will cause a team to miss the playoffs.

[Guest]

I agree with it being unnecessary. I have a trapped son and we have no interest in him playing down and our club doesn't offer that option anyway. He can play on his MS team, play in tournaments with other trapped players and just do some training and watching his friend's HS games. It is actually a really nice break of sorts for him.
