I know of one outfield player playing down due to the Biological Maturation rule.Not one person I know has ever had an issue with it.Hes a good player and from what I understand wont be eligible for it next year.In his case I know for a fact hes not doing it to win trophies.As for keepers,I agree for the most part but think its an issue with 13s.Asking a JDL kid to play up is a huge change.I would be ok with the 14s keeper playing down but other ages would prefer to see the younger keeper play up.
