Completely absurd. HOCO should follow USL guidelines and go age based next year. Probably won't because the FCAs, Looneys and Crabs of the world will fly the coop and start their own grade based league. Too bad USL has no teeth.


Or you could start a snowflake league. Membership would be through the roof.


No the snowflake league is what you have now. A bunch of holdbacks that cant compete with kids their own age. Maybe these snowflakes should hit the wall, toughen up, etc Then they might be able to compete with children their own age. The holdbacks need to playdown not play at age! That is a snowflake.


An adult who likes to criticize kids (minors), playing within a system, instead of criticizing the league that mandates the system. Very cowardly, hence your official snowflake status, lifetime membership.


Leagues should not have to think of every possible way parents will try to manipulate the system. The fault lies with the parents -not the leagues- who think their child is so special that they can play against kids two years younger to look better. Take some responsibility for what you are doing and the message you send your man child.
