If a player is entering their senior year of high school, and he or she has already "aged out" of U-18, that player is currently out of luck and ineligible for SCYS club soccer.
How do we fix this?
These are players who were generally held back early in their academic careers, or started school late for a number of reasons. I don't think too many parents are red-shirting their boys in 8th grade, hoping for a competitive advantage to a D1 scholarship. And on the girls side, I don't see much difference physically between a sophomore in high school (16) and a senior (18), so there is no size/maturity advantage there.
How do we advocate a change here in South Carolina? Georgia and North Carolina have both made modifications to allow for this?
All in favor........?
