[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So My U16 1999 born player will play U18 next year and will lose a year of eligibility then? That's crazy - he will skip right over U17 at a critical time for college recruiting. Are the leagues going to go up to the U19/U20 range to deal with HS kids then? He's a sophomore this year, so he'd be U18 as a HS Junior, then U19 as a HS Senior? Or am I reading the chart incorrectly? [/quote]

Have him play at the age he is supposed to be playing in.  No need to have him play up a year.  Our daughter will play another year of the age group she currently is in.  not a big issue.  [/quote]

He's not playing up. According to US Soccer, player born in 1999 will be a U18 in the 2016-17 season and a U19 in 2017-18.

I am a new "1999 son poster," but am I correct that my 1999 son would be a U18 in a U.S. Soccer club next year (2016-2017), but on an Academy team he would be U17 next year??    I guess it is just semantics, but seems strange and confusing....[/quote]
