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]

Development Academy teams at the older age groups are arranged in two year bands, so there' a U 18 team and a U16 team, but no U17 one.  Your son would be on the U18 team next year and the year after if they keep the current age groupings.[/quote]

Thanks.  So next year (2016-17), a 2002 would play U15 Club team and U13/U14 Academy?    [/quote]

For next year, the Development Academy is adding a U12 age group and splitting the U13/U14 age group into two separate years (http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2015/10/16/13/30/151016-academy-to-launch-u12-program-in-2016).  A 2002 will play U14 next year for DA.  On a non-DA club team, the current US Soccer charts do indicate that he would play U15, but I'm not convinced there won't be more revisions.
