Every national team has 2008 birthdays. Most are in the class higher and they travel with the team because the national teams can't get enough on-class families to travel so frequently. The kids all talk to each other and the national team kids don't hide it when they are off the field and mingling with the other kids. Their guard is down and they start to compare how many older class kids they have compared to each other.
huh? if somebody is a 2028 with a 2008 birthday, people can have different opinions about whether that is "fair," but it is perfectly legal as long as the player in in school as a 2028. But if national 2028 teams have players that are actually in the 2027 class in school, isn't that blatant cheating?
Leading Edge has 8th graders. So does 2way. They are cheating.
What you see with some teams will be a kid has actually reclassified in school but still plays with their on age team. Some of these national teams will pull those kids to play with their actual grade year. Which is fine I guess but it causes sideline and botc drama.
