Yours is correct. I'm using the double tilde to say that the most likely grade is X.
This is for next fall when SY starts.
11v11 = U18/U19 = ≤ 8/1/2007 ≈ Senior
11v11 = U17 = ≤ 8/1/2009 ≈ Junior

11v11 = U15 = ≤ 8/1/2011 ≈ Freshman
11v11 = U14 = ≤ 8/1/2012 ≈ 8th grade
11v11 = U13 = ≤ 8/1/2013 ≈ 7th grade

4v4 = U7 = ≤ 8/1/2019 ≈ 1st grade
4v4 = U6 = ≤ 8/1/2020 ≈ Kindergarten
Using U14 as an example what this is saying is...
1. They play 11v11
2. Players turn 14 after Aug 1
3. Players are younger than or equal to 8/1/2012
4. Players are most likely in 8th grade

Wouldn't read that if you paid me
8/1 being the cutoff date is all anyone needs to know
Your loss because its all correct
Then the nerds 🤓 can enjoy
People who's kids are serious about soccer don't care.
Nerds enjoy the rules?
The rule on age brackets is 8/1 to 7/31
All the other nonsense especially school grade is concocted for dcum entertainment of one lunatic. Maybe two
No its all reality. You can choose to ignore grade in school but college coaches wont

4v4 = U7 = ≤ 8/1/2019 ≈ 1st grade
4v4 = U6 = ≤ 8/1/2020 ≈ Kindergarten
Using U14 as an example what this is saying is...
1. They play 11v11
2. Players turn 14 after Aug 1
3. Players are younger than or equal to 8/1/2012
4. Players are most likely in 8th grade

Did ECNL etc change from implementing the 8/1 age cutoff based on month & year DOB?
No its the same as its always been.
This is for next fall when SY starts.

9v9/11v11 = U12 = ≤ 8/1/2014 ≈ 6th grade

Wouldn't read that if you paid me
8/1 being the cutoff date is all anyone needs to know
Your loss because its all correct
Then the nerds 🤓 can enjoy
People who's kids are serious about soccer don't care.
Nerds enjoy the rules?
The rule on age brackets is 8/1 to 7/31
All the other nonsense especially school grade is concocted for dcum entertainment of one lunatic. Maybe two
