Problem when 08s go Select?

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'd be confident to say that leagues will offer 9v9 prior to signing. If not, it would be no different than when the older age groups went from 9v9 at U10 to 11v11 at U11.

The bigger problem in a year and a half is the extra $1500 or so you have to cough up!
