Will youth soccer in the US see any trickle down effect from JK no longer being the US Technical Director? I don't know what his level of involvement with birth year changes, small side mandates, or the Girls' DA was, but don't think Heinrichs is too far behind him. Small sided was a good change and the band aid has been ripped off IMO with the age group changes, so I don't think we need to revert on those. That being said, Girls' DA has the possibility of turning into a dumpster fire and the entire youth system needs an overhaul.
Change youth soccer back to school year instead of birth year. US Soccer only cares about Development Academy anyways.
