Here are actual rules for non MLSN1.

They don't even collect and verify all kids grades around here. Adding grade doesn't make any sense because it listed on tables from actual clubs around here. It's just one person's hopes and dreams.

Fall 2026 - Spring 2027

U9 Aug 1, 2017 – July 31, 2018
U10 Aug 1, 2016 – July 31, 2017
U11 Aug 1, 2015 – July 31, 2016
U12 Aug 1, 2014 – July 31, 2015
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

100% correct

This one is for next fall when SY starts.

U18/U19; 8/1/2007 - 7/31/2009 ~ Senior
U17; 8/1/2009 - 7/31/2010 ~ Senior
U16; 8/1/2010 - 7/31/2011 ~ Junior
U15; 8/1/2011 - 7/31/2012 ~ Sophomore
U14; 8/1/2012 - 7/31/2013 ~ Freshman
U13; 8/1/2013 - 7/31/2014 ~ 8th
U12; 8/1/2014 - 7/31/2015 ~ 7th
U11; 8/1/2015 - 7/31/2016 ~ 6th
U10; 8/1/2016 - 7/31/2017~ 5th
U9; 8/1/2017 - 7/31/2018 ~ 4th
U8; 8/1/2018 - 7/31/2019 ~ 3rd
U7; 8/1/2019 - 7/31/2020 ~ 2nd
U6; 8/1/2020 - 7/31/2021 ~ 1st

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 Freshman or younger

The smaller version

8/1/2009 - 7/31 = Senior
8/1/2009 - 7/31 = Junior

8/1/2011 - 7/31 = Sophomore
8/1/2012 - 7/31 = Freshman
8/1/2013 - 7/31 = 8th
8/1/2014 - 7/31 = 7th
8/1/2015 - 7/31 = 6th
8/1/2016 - 7/31= 5th
8/1/2017 - 7/31 = 4th
8/1/2018 - 7/31 = 3rd
8/1/2019 - 7/31 = 2nd
8/1/2020 - 7/31 = 1st
8/1/2021 - 7/31 = Kindergarten

2011s born after 8/1 are most likely to be Sophomores and lower next fall not Juniors. Which is why below is mathematically correct.

Still 100% correct.

This is for next fall when SY starts.

11v11 = U18/U19 = ≤ 8/1/2007-7/31 ≈ Senior + lower

Using U13 as an example what this is saying is...

1. They play 11v11
2. Players turn 13 after Aug 1
3. Players are younger than or equal to 8/1/2013
4. Players are most likely in 8th grade or lower

Great, have your personalized table that no leagues or teams use. Other people get to make there's also.

Better stated as Juniors and lower. It's almost like you are not trying to be inclusive and are trying to be exclusive

And none of it matters to sensible families with good players

They are focused on their talent, skills and development and will play in their league assigned age group or up a year if exceptional

Its the same thing as what US Soccer posted. So yes it matters.

Theres just additional context and things that dont really apply are removed.


You're a LIAR

Provide the link from US Soccer with school grades

What about the word "additional context" dont you understand?

Do you get upset when clubs say "Boys or Girls u12"? Boys and girls arent listed separately by US Soccer but the "additional context" helps people to know whats going on.
Your lying to try to make your kid the oldest by forcing GY on August kids but no other month. It's too obvious. You have to hide your misinformation campaign better if you expect anyone to fall for it. And then in DMV, clubs won't allow choosing to play up anyway so you fail on 2 fronts.

In the 2026–2027 school year, children born after August 1, 2010, will generally be entering 10th grade (Sophomore year) or 9th grade (Freshman year), depending on their specific birth month and your local district's cutoff date.

Using U13 as an example what this is saying is...

1. They play 11v11
2. Players turn 13 after Aug 1
3. Players are younger than or equal to 8/1/2013
4. Players are most likely in 8th grade or lower

In the 2026–2027 school year, children born after August 1, 2010, will generally be entering 10th grade (Sophomore year) or 9th grade (Freshman year), depending on their specific birth month and your local district's cutoff date.

Wrong this is your hacks up cut and paste.

Below is correct

2010s born after 8/1 are most likely to be Sophmores next fall not Juniors. Which is why below is mathematically correct.

Below is correct

2011s born after 8/1 are most likely to be Sophomores and lower next fall not Juniors. Which is why below is mathematically correct.

So now you just post incorrect math?
What don't you like now, it's just the age groups with additional information?
