I’m hearing ECNL is talking about a possible switch up from Birth year to some type of birth year/school year hybrid?

kids will have the option to play graduation year U16-U19.
U13-15 would be Birth year with allocated spots for players who fall under the trapped player category to play full time.

has anyone heard anything regarding a change at all?
Is this an ECNL decision or US Soccer?

You go to other forums? That's heresy.

I’ve talked with a club director who said it was a possibility but not a done deal for 25/26 season.

These kids eventually will be grouped together at U19 it makes sense to just start at U13

[Guest]

Makes no sense to have just one league do it. Needs to be a US Soccer thing. Top leagues are where this should matter least in reality.

The only way this happens is if mls academys also fall in line. ECNL cant force the change themselves.

ecnl think they are gods what they do others will follow they are the leaders

Just got a Survey email from US Soccer about the change. I imagine it's happening.
