Age Group Change
Starting with the 2026/27 tryouts, all teams will be formed following the new age group format. Efforts will be made to align with the new national changes while maintaining proper player development and team cohesion.
Reasons for the age group change:
- Helps reduce the number of “trapped players” (those separated from classmates due to the calendar-year cutoff).
- Better aligns youth soccer teams with the school-year cycle.
- Belief that reverting to the pre-2017, Aug. 1–July 31 age group format will best support player development and improve overall balance and participation across youth soccer.
- Three of the major soccer governing bodies, including US Club, US Youth Soccer, and the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), are all following the adjusted age group cutoff dates.
