Excuse for what? Bro are ok? I agree a player a year older is at an advantage. Nobody is saying that is why the team is good or competitive. You people are corny.

You might not be a YJ parent, but you are trying to cope with your kid’s team not being as good in the same manner. Between heros and m&d, there are like 5 kids born before 9/1/10, and half of those teams have 2011 bdays. The reason they are better is because they are better athletes and work harder than your kid’s team. And you could move both of those teams up to 2028 in their entirety and they would still be top 6-7. If this age gap was such an issue, why don’t the 2011s drag those teams down? And are you serious that a June 2010 kid has an inherent advantage over a December 2010 kid? Lmao. Why don’t we do this, since it is a team sport after all: figure out the average age of your kid’s team, and we can compare that to the avg age of m&d, heros, and cm. Deal?

M&d’s leading scorer is a summer 2011 kid, should she be sent down to the 2030s to protect her from these beastly summer 2010 kids???

Remember whatever advantage the kid gets being older at a younger old is pretty much gone by high school. At younger ages the difference is generally size but that levels out by HS. In some cases that size becomes a disadvantage because one relies on using the size to just muscle through plays and don’t focus on learning the skills. As the others equal out in size, those that focused on skills pass the other kids. My advice is just focus on your own daughter’s development and making sure she enjoys playing so she doesn’t burnout.

No I am not trying to cope because I know it doesn't matter. I am glad this is important to you which proves my point you are corny.

Is this your only daughter playing club? Do you have any other daughters who have gone through all the way up to being recruited.? And who said a June 2010 has advantage over a December 2010. It was said a June 2010 compared to a June 2011 have an advantage. If I took a girl from are 2028 team and put her on the 2029 you do not think that would make a impact?

And no... neither of the teams you mentioned could move up to the 2028 level and be a top 6-7 team. Saying that just shows how completely delusional you are.

By this age, the top players are the top players. These kids are in 8th grade. Next year, most will be playing at the HS level with kids 4 years older than them. Historically, the top 9th graders make an impact in girls sports right away. Stop complaining about the kids ages and work to on your game. All these girls are 29s. Just play the games and stop making excuses.

No. It was said a May or June 2010 kid (yes May you read that right…M&D kids) is a huge advantage over the Summer 2011 kids who are on age. What’s fool is being a May or June and not starting against girls over a year younger. So I guess you have a point there, maybe it didn’t work out so well for them to be a holdback. Double hold back coming next? Why not try again.

You really think you could take those teams and have them play in the 2028 division and they would be top 6-7 ???? wow you gave me a really good laugh. And nobody said a June 2010 kid compared to a December 2010 kid.

The advantage is a June 2010 kid compared to a June 2011 kid. My clubs 2028 team is in top 7-8. if you took one of those 28's and put them on the 2029 team they would help. Its an advantage and it helps. It's ok man..

I know marijuana is legal in Maryland, but not crack! You must be smoking it because there is no way those teams would be top 6-7.

Yet here you are, whining about holdbacks. If it doesn’t matter, why are you wasting your time?

No, I have multiple kids, my son played D1 many moons ago and I have an older daughter who is a D1 commit, so
i have been through this with both genders, and you are just coping. See the post above about m&d’s top scorer, she is summer 2011 and poops on other teams regularly. As far as moving a 2028 down, it depends on the kid, obviously. Some slob from CCLax isn’t gonna make a dent on a top 2029 team.

The #7 team from last year in 2028s was Pride Red. If you were to put the team back together and have them scrimmage heros, m&d, or cm, I would have my money on the 2029s. It is simply a better and deeper class. Did you know that both m&d and heros played in HS indoor leagues last winter? They absolutely boat raced everyone they played. But please continue to reply to me since you are above it all and just a super cool guy.

Exactly. These dorks just can’t handle the fact that their kids’ teams just aren’t top shelf and won’t ever be, so they are hear trying to convince themselves it will get better.
