I heard that WSYL is going to a 1/1 cutoff date next year to be more in line with soccer and international rules.
They will never do that. With a 1/1 cut off date Long Island teams will win every year. The only chance to have another area have a chance to win will be a cut off that is earlier than the 12/1 Long Island school starting date. a 9/1 date helps other areas as the natural grade teams will have more kids born 9/1 to 12/1 which results in older teams than Long Island. It almost worked this year. A 1/1 date would hurt the off Long Island teams as they have more older players.
