[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post from US Club Soccer back in June implies that they anticipate clubs will do "force-ups" where Aug-Sep players will automatically be asked to play up an age group to be with their school age group. https://usclubsoccer.org/age-group-cut-off-update-for-2026-27-season/

Our child's team of 18 has 5 Aug-Dec players. Three of them will likely be "force-ups" since they are in the older grade with the rest of the team, and the other two will presumably move to the younger age group. Not yet confirmed by the club, but this would lend itself to a consistent approach and could be replicated across dozens of teams.[/quote]Players would be forced to play up if they want to play with school grade friends. And 3 teams so far said only exceptional get to play up an age group so players wanting to play up with their school grade friends seem blocked from doing so.[/quote]

Which travel club has teams made up of mostly school classmates and friends?[/quote]I believe it also applies to rec but this is what was written, "Second, an Aug. 1 age group cut-off best aligns soccer age groups with school year ages, maximizing the number of players who participate in soccer programs with their school-year friends."[/quote]
