[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like most travel soccer clubs, ours changed age cut-offs this year.  What I don't understand is why kids like my son, who are just turning 13 after September 1st are on the 14U team.  My son won't be 14 at any time during this soccer season.  It doesn't make any sense.[/quote]

Don't think of the age groups as describing your son's current age.   And remember the age group describes not just the fall season but both the fall and spring seasons -- from August to July -- so some kids born in 2003 will turn 14 during their U14 soccer year.   [/quote]

OP here-I understand that some of the kids will turn 14 during the fall and spring seasons, it's just that NONE of the kids on his team that were forced to move up to the new age group actually will; some of the kids are still 12 and others, like my son, just turned 13.  [/quote]

Ok, that means that every kid on your U14 team was born in the last five months of 2003.    That is an unusual coincidence, but your son's team is still a U14 team since the boys on it were born in 2003 or later.  [/quote]
