Not true. Holding a kid back in school doesn't affect their age group. It isn't some special way to play down an age group. |

In the 2026–2027 school year, children born after August 1, 2010, will generally be entering 10th grade (Sophomore year) or 11th grade (Junior year), depending on their specific birth month and your local district's cutoff date.

You need exactly lessons. US Soccer's age groups don't recognize grades. |

GA posts rules right here. https://girlsacademyleague.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/FRAMEWORKS-2025-26-V2.pdf |

I think the one used by US soccer appears like 1 in 10 or 1 in 15 of the matrixes shared. That's just cat fighting. The bullying is be derisive to other posters, trying to mock them and being generally mean. |

The only way to play older players against younger players is to force kids to play up. Because playing down isn't allowed. |

Explain the difference between letting a 9th grade July 2011 play U15 next year and an August 2011 being forced to play U16 because they are 10th graders. It’s literally the same exact thing but doesn’t benefit your kid so you hate the idea of it. The fact you’re blind to your own self greed shows a lot about who you’re as a person. Also just to clarify my kids bday December and I no I don’t want to hold my kid back but you can’t handle anything that doesn’t work for you and your own situation without glitching out. |

Mathematically WRONG and tells older players they can play down when they can't. |

Thank you! Where did you find this? |

Math doesn't bully. It does make it easy to identify who is lieing and wrong with a play down agenda. |

Hmmm ... What does it say about trapped players? Let's see ... 6. Trapped Player Expectations a. U19 Age Group i. A Girls Academy player that is in 11th grade, but who is age appropriate for the U19 age group is defined as a Trapped Player. ii. A maximum of three U19 Trapped Players are eligible to participate in games at U17 GA National Events. 1. Note: A U19 Trapped Player is not eligible to compete in Champions Cup and the GA Summer Playoffs. b. U15 Age Group i. A Girls Academy Player that is in the 8th grade, but who is age appropriate for the U15 age group is defined as a Trapped Player. ii. A U15 Trapped Player is eligible to participate in games at one (1) U14 GA Regional Event while her teammates compete in high school. There will be a maximum of 3 trapped players per event. Oh, I guess they do allow 8th graders to play with other 8th graders even if the above age group! |

ECNL has the same rule as GA on this.. hopefully Aug player hater doesn’t see this that means you’re not even safe after this kid goes to college….
If a player attends college but does not play college soccer, they are eligible to play GA conference league games and events if they fall into the birth year age group for U19. b. If a player has graduated high school, but is not entering college yet, i.e. taking a GAP year, they are eligible to play GA conference league games and events if they fall into the birth year age group for U19. |

Older players can't play down on age but anybody can play down on grade because grade doesn't exist in club. Find a rule that says I'm wrong. You can't. |

Good job you can read. Those rules are for BY not SY dummy. |
