Chattanooga Red Wolves 07s with some impressive results this weekend! 5-1 against UFA today if the ECNL site is correct.

What is going on with UFA 07's? Seem to be struggling a bit after a great start in the Fall.

What is going on with UFA 07's? Seem to be struggling a bit after a great start in the Fall. Sitting in 2nd place with two more games head-to-head with the first place team. I think they'll be ok. |

NASA and Tennessee are not many points behind UFA now. The results will have to pick up quickly, especially after a 5-1 loss. |

Spring could be much different than fall for U14 results - some teams added trap players and some didn’t.

That’s a good indicator. I’m pretty sure 07B CF Platinum has but CF Premier has not. Think about it, you add 2 stud field players from the next age group up to replace the majority of minutes of your two weakest field players and suddenly the games you were losing 1-2 become 2-1 wins. CF Platinum has already beaten GSA (In a tournament game) and NASA (In a regular season league game). There aren’t enough games left to change their own fate but they could significantly impact the top of the table, considering only the top two teams go to the playoffs in that age group.

Top 3 in that age group go to playoffs. And Chattanooga could make a run. NASA may be in trouble since they have less games remaining to create separation. As for trap year - I personally have mixed feelings about it. If I have an 8th grade 06 that can’t play high school, I get the reasoning. But it was decided to move to birth year rather than school year... so there shouldn’t be a carve out to allow players to play down an age group. |

If I'm not mistaken the trapped player rule existed prior to the age mandate change.

If these players are coming into sides and other players are cut mid-season (or significant playing time is taken from them) then I don't think that's right. If I'm not mistaken SCCL clubs do also have spring options for u15 teams to train and play games. |

That’s what it’s there for - U15 8th graders. |

That’s what it’s there for - U15 8th graders. I understand the intent but it’s still at someone else’s expense. It’s one thing to get beat out by your group but it’s another when it’s an older player. (At this age anyway- eventually things even out and then it’s fair game.) |

Some teams in 07 ECNL are taking advantage of the trap year kids while others are not ... probably will skew the results in the spring and impact playoffs. Chattanooga seems to have benefited significantly as their results are much better. Atlanta Fire seemed to have new kids this spring, but not sure. NASA is not using them, not sure who is using them.

Is the result between AU 07sand AFU 07s correct?
It had AFU winning 4-0- if so that’s a very nice result for them.

I’m curious if players who stay back a year (by choice-so they should be in high school but are still an 06) are they still eligible trap players? So May-August 2006 birthdays that choose to start school later so they are 8th graders. Is it a grade thing ? |

As far as I've been told, it is a grade thing. Those 2006/still in middle school kids have no option to play in the spring. No team ball and no school ball, so their only option is to play down with the 2007s...

Not every county has middle school soccer. And it’s not about staying back, it’s about fall birthdays for a given year. (So the current split is 06s... most are freshman in high school but those with fall birthdays are in 8th grade) |

Meaning it is not about what grade you are SUPPOSED to be in, but the grade they are actually in. It is an excellent question that never occurred to me. I know half a dozen kids that go to school with my kids that are in that category, May to August birthdays but a grade behind. |

In some school districts, 8th graders can play JV for the high school they are zoned to attend in the fall.
