Birth Year to Grade Year change in 2026
I couldn’t participate in last night’s Q&A because of a HS playoff game, however I was going to ask the community what the latest is on the pending change with at least US Club Soccer. Specifically:
1 - Will clubs be given the flexibility for HS-age players to play their formerly “trapped” kids in the same age team or must they drop them to the grade team?
2 - Will parents/player be given the choice or will it be mandated?
3 - how advantageous is it to drop to grade year for players formerly playing “up” in the new environment? (Or return to what it used to be basically pre-2018)
4 - if you are a starter on an ECNL team in their prime sophomore recruiting year (for girls), but in your freshman year, is it advantageous to drop down and get another sophomore year of exposure next year when you are a true sophomore but maybe not on a team or club that is as successful?
