Colorado Rapids says this, you don't have to like it.

"While the new age group system is often referred to as "School Year" because it aligns better with school grades than the calendar year, we will use the nationwide age groupings of August 1st to July 31st date range for safety and fairness."

So the answer is yes players can play up and because of this July 31st means nothing for eligibility.
