Leagues can choose different dates. |

Yeah, I kept telling him he butchered it and is so confusing to him that he he got it wrong. Oddly enough he called me the dumb one. Funny stuff
This is the official correct one Youth soccer age groups fall 2026 Fall 2026 Age Group Matrix (Birthdate Range) U7: Aug 1, 2019 – Jul 31, 2020 U8: Aug 1, 2018 – Jul 31, 2019 U9: Aug 1, 2017 – Jul 31, 2018 U10: Aug 1, 2016 – Jul 31, 2017 U11: Aug 1, 2015 – Jul 31, 2016 U12: Aug 1, 2014 – Jul 31, 2015 U13: Aug 1, 2013 – Jul 31, 2014 U14: Aug 1, 2012 – Jul 31, 2013 U15: Aug 1, 2011 – Jul 31, 2012 U16: Aug 1, 2010 – Jul 31, 2011 U17: Aug 1, 2009 – Jul 31, 2010 U18: Aug 1, 2008 – Jul 31, 2009 U19: Aug 1, 2007 – Jul 31, 2008 |
Nothing was butchered and yes you are the dumb one. |
I think it depends on if you're looking at it from a BY or SY (this fall) lense |
It doesn't. He butchered it. |
Adding grade in school makes this so much easier to understand. I do agree the Jul 31 date isn't needed. Why add it if players can play up? Seems odd. |
Except this is butchered bc it lists 9th and freshman as two separate grades. lol. U15 Aug 2011-July 2012 will be freshman (mostly) next fall. |
It's funny that he said it was so easy and then butchered it and called everyone else dumb for pointing out his errors. When arguing over the wording of a table when clubs around here discourage playing up and seriously limit it to the best players for top teams, it's over. Been over. |

Ok heres a better version
8/1/2009 and younger = Senior 8/1/2009 and younger = Junior 8/1/2011 and younger = Sophmore 8/1/2012 and younger = Freshman 8/1/2013 and younger = 8th 8/1/2014 and younger = 7th 8/1/2015 and younger = 6th 8/1/2016 and younger = 5th 8/1/2017 and younger = 4th 8/1/2018 and younger = 3rd 8/1/2019 and younger = 2nd 8/1/2020 and younger = 1st 8/1/2021 and younger = kindergarten |
No My fall bday 2011 will be a 9th grader next fall, not a sophomore. You keep trying though, you’ll get it eventually! |
So you're saying that your kid was born between 9/1-11/30 (fall) and is a 2011 in 8th grade now but will be 9th grade next fall. On average 8th grade students right now would be 2011 9/1 to 2012 9/1. This would make your kid one of the oldest in their grade. So it would look like this next fall when SY starts. Junior and Senior are both 2008 because this age group is combined. 8/1/2008 and younger = Senior 8/1/2008 and younger = Junior 8/1/2010 and younger = Sophmore 8/1/2011 and younger = Freshman 8/1/2012 and younger = 8th 8/1/2013 and younger = 7th 8/1/2014 and younger = 6th 8/1/2015 and younger = 5th 8/1/2016 and younger = 4th 8/1/2017 and younger = 3rd 8/1/2017 and younger = 2nd 8/1/2019 and younger = 1st 8/1/2020 and younger = kindergarten |
This really is less confusing. I'm looking at it and all the different scenarios are covered. Theres nothing left open about playing up and regrades question is also covered. Parents can still ask questions but nothing is left open to interpretation. |

Heres an even better one...
U18/U19 = 8/1/2008 and younger = Senior U18/U19 = 8/1/2008 and younger = Junior U17 = 8/1/2010 and younger = Sophmore U16 = 8/1/2011 and younger = Freshman U15 = 8/1/2012 and younger = 8th U14 = 8/1/2013 and younger = 7th U13 = 8/1/2014 and younger = 6th U12 = 8/1/2015 and younger = 5th U11 = 8/1/2016 and younger = 4th U10 = 8/1/2017 and younger = 3rd U9 = 8/1/2017 and younger = 2nd U8 = 8/1/2019 and younger = 1st U7 = 8/1/2020 and younger = kindergarten |
Here's an even better one. This is for next fall when SY starts. It took me a while to get this right. Several club websites have it wrong. 11v11 = U18/U19 = 8/1/2008 and younger = Senior 11v11 = U18/U19 = 8/1/2008 and younger = Junior 11v11= U17 = 8/1/2010 and younger = Sophmore 11v11= U16 = 8/1/2011 and younger = Freshman 11v11 = U15 = 8/1/2012 and younger = 8th 11v11 = U14 = 8/1/2013 and younger = 7th 11v11 = U13 = 8/1/2014 and younger = 6th 9v9 = U12 = 8/1/2015 and younger = 5th 9v9 = U11 = 8/1/2016 and younger = 4th 7v7 = U10 = 8/1/2017 and younger = 3rd 7v7 = U9 = 8/1/2018 and younger = 2nd 4v4 = U8 = 8/1/2019 and younger = 1st 4v4 = U7 = 8/1/2020 and younger = kindergarten |

Final version. I kept finding little issues. Grade level is subjective because of hold backs, homeschoolers, etc but below will work for 99% of the players. This is much better than the way US Soccer lists things because it includes team type, grade in school, and the useless 7/31 lower bound is removed.
11v11 = U18/U19 = 8/1/2008 and younger = Senior 11v11 = U18/U19 = 8/1/2008 and younger = Junior 11v11 = U17 = 8/1/2010 and younger = Sophmore 11v11 = U16 = 8/1/2011 and younger = Freshman 11v11 = U15 = 8/1/2012 and younger = 8th grade 11v11 = U14 = 8/1/2013 and younger = 7th grade 11v11 = U13 = 8/1/2014 and younger = 6th grade 9v9 = U12 = 8/1/2015 and younger = 5th grade 9v9 = U11 = 8/1/2016 and younger = 4th grade 7v7 = U10 = 8/1/2017 and younger = 3rd grade 7v7 = U9 = 8/1/2018 and younger = 2nd grade 4v4 = U8 = 8/1/2019 and younger = 1st grade 4v4 = U7 = 8/1/2020 and younger = kindergarten |
