Okay, this is a rumor I heard over the weekend (and not even from a high level source)... but I heard there might be talk of ending the age mandate and going back to school year ages? This could be way off-base so I'm just throwing this out there to see if anyone had heard something similar? If not, we can end this thread quickly and delete it.

If I hope really hard that it happens, does that count for anything?

My daughter missed out on her U10 year due to this change. She's ready for Select now, not really looking for her to play another U12 year.

I hear ya, watching a lot of current U12s I just don’t see how they can play good soccer at 11v11 when they struggle to string passes around the big field. Then I think of poor Rec kids that jump to U14s and that’s just crazy. Glad we are following the so called “international standard” that no one follows because we’ve lost Id say 20% of the overall players.

Oh as much as I hated the decision to move to birth year, to flip it back without some 'grandfathering in' like they should have done with the initial decision, will again, only hurt the players who find themselves without teams or teams that end up split in two. If they do go back to the school year model, they need to have a phase in plan with some wiggle room for grandfathering or exceptions based on age or allow for some mixed teams to play up as they are now. Yeah yeah - novel idea, actually let this be about the kids playing the game not what model/policy/procedure/international standard idea that the bureaucratic administrators want to implement. At the end of the day, most of these decisions and policy changes and new leagues and whatever else is rumor or fact - do not directly benefit the kids playing the game. I do so wish they'd think about that for a change
