Or US soccer just says no changes.

It seems like The ECNL director has a real hardon for this change.

Club soccer is not for friendship teams. There are always "trapped players"

Lots of other sports do birth year. Why is this so hard?

ECNL does not like that the player’s final year of club soccer is a pieced together team of kids who haven’t played together. They also don’t like all the “opt outs” and believe kids would be more likely to continue to play in club if they were playing for their “team”. The change would also make it easier for colleges to scout as the players would all be in the same graduating class. The recruiting argument is probably the most persuasive to me

The following is the policy of a certain Dallas based club.

U16 and above will have the option of staying with current team

My daughter is an August 2010 birthday but is a freshman. For players with August birthdays who are in the older grade they will have the option to play for with the older team or play correct age grouping. So she can play with either the 2009-2010 or 2010-2011 group.

The have always been players who play up. My understanding is the change won’t affect this option for players.

Northeastern State

Looks like the Key to beating Northeastern State is 3 point defense. They have better wide open shooters than us.....Phipps, Allen, Washington....But we should be much stronger inside. (If we have Garcia) They also have Edwards 6'8" , a guard/forward who was a 4 star recruit at DePaul as well as Washington was All American JUCO. So we can't take this team lightly. They are better than Missouri S and T............

With way too many players entering the transfer portal each spring, even D2 teams end up with former D1 players. That makes playing D2 teams more interesting than in the past.

Missouri S&T Exhibition

I don’t care if it’s an exhibition, the number 1 team in the country, or Little Sister’s of the Poor, at this point I just want to see Ws pile up. We have the schedule that it should be the expectation but I have 0 expectations right now.

I blame the past two basketball season and the state of the football program for my low expectations. I know nothing about the basketball team this year other than Archie is on it and a stud. But I’m excited.

This year's tryouts with the impending birth date change (not official but official) is going to be wild. I wasn't around in 2017ish when it went to birth year. Try outs will be crazy...... What will clubs let kids do? It's all the talk at practices, texts, etc.......
