Actually one guy trying to get younger players to play with older players vs everyone else. And that one guy lost the war, birthdays are the rule. |

This is for next fall when SY starts.
11v11 = U18/U19 = ≤ 8/1/2007-July 31 ≈ Senior 11v11 = U17 = ≤ 8/1/2009-July 31 ≈ Senior 11v11 = U16 = ≤ 8/1/2010-July 31 ≈ Junior 11v11 = U15 = ≤ 8/1/2011-July 31 ≈ Sophomore 11v11 = U14 = ≤ 8/1/2012-July 31 ≈ Freshman 11v11 = U13 = ≤ 8/1/2013-July 31 ≈ 8th grade 9v9/11v11 = U12 = ≤ 8/1/2014-July 31 ≈ 7th grade 9v9 = U11 = ≤ 8/1/2015-July 31 ≈ 6th grade 9v9 = U10 = ≤ 8/1/2016-July 31 ≈ 5th grade 7v7 = U9 = ≤ 8/1/2017-July 31 ≈ 4th grade 7v7 = U8 = ≤ 8/1/2018-July 31 ≈ 3rd grade 4v4 = U7 = ≤ 8/1/2019-July 31 ≈ 2nd grade 4v4 = U6 = ≤ 8/1/2020-July 31 ≈ 1st grade Using U14 as an example what this is saying is... 1. They play 11v11 2. Players turn 14 after Aug 1 3. Players are younger than or equal to 8/1/2012 4. Players are most likely be Freshman or younger |

This is wrong because Seniors arent most likely to be 2009. In fact very few will be. |

Still 100% correct.

Which Club? How is it being used exactly? |

I dont know. Someone commented a couple of days ago that they're using it because parents always give their kids birthday and grade in school. Then expect them to say which team they should be on. |

Send this to US Soccer, so they can file a restraining order against you |

For what? Providing the exact same information US Soccer has provided but in a more usable / clear format? |

No, a parent said they found it useful not a club. Omg, pay attention. |

Im not going to go back and find the comment to prove your wrong (yet again). But, they said they were from a club. Choose to believe whatever you want. |

Send the link where US Soccer did this |

LIES Which parents out here always give birthday and grade when travel soccer doesn't go by grade or require grade? |

| Honestly, Jeff should just ban anyone posting the tables and maybe there could be some actual discussion (or just nuke the thread since it's over and has been decided) |

I think Jeff should nuke the guy thats trying to sneak older players into SY. Get rid of him and everything will be normal. Grade guy might think August birthdays should play on their grade team. But he's following all league rules. |

Here is a copy and paste from a notice sent out by US Club. Well it’s a document a friend sent me but read the bottom pretty interesting….
2026/2027 Age Grouping Rationale • Transitioning to an 8/1-7/31 age grouping is a return to the former grouping prior to 2017. Calendar birth year was mandated by US Soccer when most youth soccer was previously using school age. The mandate has been removed, allowing US Club Soccer member organizations the ability to group players as they see fit. The majority of youth soccer is non-competitive/recreational. The benefits of youth sport participation are numerous, but USYS/US Club team members feel that the social elements are some of the most important. • While using the calendar birth year age grouping we heard frequently from families asking for their children to play with their classmates. Using the school year grouping creates the fewest trapped players. US feels that school year grouping promotes stronger team chemistry and retention by allowing children to play with their schoolmates and closest friends. Grouping by school year often places players in a more consistent emotional and physical developmental environment. School age grouping will help college recruitment as it allows for players of the same graduating class participating together in high-level tournament cups and college showcase matches. |
