"While the new age group system is often referred to as "School Year" because it aligns better with school grades than the calendar year, we will use the nationwide age groupings of August 1st to July 31st date range for safety and fairness."

Its frustrating dealing with dumb people who push agendas and don't understand math.

Since I already know the answer is Yes why does July 31 2012 exist? Why is it called out?

U13 Aug 1, 2013 – July 31, 2014
U14 Aug 1, 2012 – July 31, 2013
U15 Aug 1, 2011 – July 31, 2012
U16 Aug 1, 2010 – July 31, 2011
U17 Aug 1, 2009 – July 31, 2010
U18 Aug 1, 2008 – July 31, 2009
U19 Aug 1, 2007 - July 31, 2008
Can a player younger than July 31st 2012 play on a u15 team as defined on the matrix above? Yes ir No
Since I already know the answer is Yes why does July 31 2012 exist? Why is it called out?
Why no answer?
