Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAfter their fall HS season, which some kids or families value highly, they could do spring soccer training or even run HS track. Not sure why another spring season of club soccer games is supposed to be very important for second semester HS seniors. At least those families will save some money.
But if a club (s) smells an opportunity they'll create some teams.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThen play HS soccer in the fall of freshman year. As I said, whatever a kid or family values most. The move to birth year isn't responsible for any "sacrificial lambs" here, since these lambs still have a choice. (I have other kids who did experience this situation, anyway: played club fall of freshman year.)

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis why I believe that if the US wants to become a powerhouse, go through your school system..
1. Hire the best coaches ( not because they are teachers at the school),
2. Kids are already in school , so makes sense to practice/have games right after school is out
3. Play fall and spring school soccer- play 4-5 months and take winter break, play 4-5 months and take summer break...practice 2-4 times a week and play one game a weekend vs other schools....that way social/family time and school are viewed as hugely important....beats driving over an 1 hour each way to a practice after parents get off of work...instead pick them up after practice is over at the school.
Perfect example is this Little League World Series going on right now. Kids on all these teams are pretty much from the same neighborhoods, grew up and played together since they were U-littles...

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis makes too much sense...Club coaches will hate it because of the involvement of School Board, Principal, Athletic Director, etc...I like this idea...
1) schools can't afford athletic budgets. they fight over academic dollars as it is and many barely have funds or time for PE
2) organized sports is seen as extracurricular, especially since it does not interest a decent portion of students
3) there's already enough complaints about HS soccer (some valid, some exaggerated) imagine relying on a school to develop your player if they want to be the best?
4) there's not enough quality coaches as it is for club soccer, let alone to move it into public schools
5) you can't draw the line with just soccer - it would have to be for all sports, making it impossible for just about any school budget.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAmazing how school budgets have increased almost 50% in the past 10 years and they still don't have any money. Makes you wonder where the money is going, no?

If youre curious about where your dollars are going I recommend attending some BOE meetings. You can learn a lot and it's all there for anyone to see

Birth year switch details?
Have any clubs posted/emailed details about the impending switch to birth year? Will teams really be just allowed to stay together by having all the Jan-July kids play up with the Aug-Dec kids who will be forced to play up in the next higher birth year? What about the 8th/9th grade issue and all of senior year for the Sept-Dec kids?

Just had a meeting for our town travel and were told about the new guidelines. MYSA is planning to adopt things by Fall 2016, apparently. They are also voting on not allowing kids who play club to play town soccer anymore.
