But I’m confused about how the age brackets will be since it doesn’t include the year or age group.

For instance, if a player is currently U17 and has an October 2008 birthdate how does this work?

Is it September 1,2008 - August 31, 2007 or September 1, 2008 - August 31, 2009?

Please answer or provide a link. Thanks.

I think you answered your own question. October 2008 is only in one of these ranges. (The second one)

A September kid will now be the oldest kid on the team. An August 31st kid is now the youngest

In Birth year, Jan 1 was oldest, Dec 31st was youngest.

I am guessing teams will go back to “U” designation, meaning that everyone is at or under the age listed by Sept 1. So if your kid turns 9 on sept 1, they will be on a U9 team, and their teammates will be 9 or under until August 31st.

Your player would be eligible to play with those born September 1, 2008 - August 31, 2009. That would be the current U16 team.

Sept or later starting in 26-27 season will repeat for a U18 that is probably playing U19 it may not make any difference. For example my oct. 2015 will be a U11 next year. The following year they will be a U11 again.

Is your DD or DS a junior or senior this fall? If they are a senior this fall, the switch means nothing for you, as they will be in college when this goes into affect in Fall of 2026.

If they are 2008, but a Junior, then they could have to play in this switch - which again, doesn't go into affect until Fall of 2026 (so 26-27 season).

Currently, there is a U17 and a U19 bracket (they eliminated U18 last year). The question will remain if they bring back the U18 bracket in Fall of 26 for with this switch.

not starting until two years from now

Then think of it like a puzzle.
