Someone please help understand why a player who is considered U19 by birth date and is still a senior in high school can play in the SCSCL Challenge league with a U18/19 team, but can't play in State Cup (they have to be removed from the roster before State Cup)which means they can't play in Regionals if their team wins State Cup. They can't play in Region 3 Premier or Southern Premier League games. There are several players in this situation this year and from what I have heard will be several more next year and the years to come. If they are still in high school, why shouldn't we allow these players to play with their team whether it be Challenge League or Premier League. Just doesn't seem to make sense to "punish" a child because they are already 18 when the season starts and will turn 19 during their senior year.
