Please remind US Soccer that grades dont apply. Especially when they identified players trapped on grade up teams as a primary reason for changing back from BY to SY.

Take it up with US Club. Complaining about semantics on a anon forum is pointless.

Its not semantics its the rules. If players can play up Dec 31st and July 31st dont matter. US Club cant have two versions of the same rules.

This is for next fall when SY starts.

11v11 = U18/U19 = ≤ 8/1/2007 ~ Senior
11v11 = U17 = ≤ 8/1/2009 ~ Junior
11v11 = U16 = ≤ 8/1/2010 ~ Sophmore
11v11 = U15 = ≤ 8/1/2011 ~ Freshman
11v11 = U14 = ≤ 8/1/2012 ~ 8th grade
11v11 = U13 = ≤ 8/1/2013 ~ 7th grade
9v9/11v11 = U12 = ≤ 8/1/2014 ~ 6th grade
9v9 = U11 = ≤ 8/1/2015 ~ 5th grade
9v9 = U10 = ≤ 8/1/2016 ~ 4th grade
7v7 = U9 = ≤ 8/1/2017 ~ 3rd grade
7v7 = U8 = ≤ 8/1/2018 ~ 2nd grade
4v4 = U7 = ≤ 8/1/2019 ~ 1st grade
4v4 = U6 = ≤ 8/1/2020 ~ Kindergarten

US Club rulebook, not the July dates also

See https://usclubsoccer.org/registration-player-age-groups/.

Just a cut and paste. Not some spin.
