Problem when 08s go Select?
by RacerMartin99 09/01/17, 10:13 am
I know we are still a year and a half away from this, but does anyone know if any changes will be made regarding Select qualifying in 2018? Once the USSF small sided mandates are fully implemented this August (2017), the U10 age division will play 7v7 (currently, the U10s are playing 9v9). So, the 08s will go from playing 7v7 in U10 to 9v9 in U11....the very year they go Select. Though I am a big proponent of Small-Sided play, it seems this will add only more chaos to the months before Select qualifying.

I don't see it being a big issue, at least not for the big clubs. Look at how many already have an A/B team setup so they will have the numbers and time together to make the necessary adjustment. Where it may be an issue is for smaller clubs who are adding players that are unfamiliar with that teams style of play and dynamics.

As the parent of an '07, we had the same concern. U10s currently are supposed to be playing 7v7 per the new rules. Leagues and tournaments are offering this option, but most teams are playing 9v9 regardless to get ready for select.

What did you think use to happen when it was 11v11 at U11? It was the same thing as U10 was 9v9. I don't know why parents get so bent out of shape on it. What's going to happen when you get in U12 playing 9v9 and at U13 they have to now go to the big adult field playing 11v11. There has to be a cut off point so I don't see the big deal
