August birthday Sept. 1 school cut off
Hey - just want to poll the parents of young teens whose kids were born in August but school year cut off is Sept. 1. How many of us are there here?

If you are a parent whose son falls in this gap - what are you doing? Is there an option to push up? I have been excited all along because my son will finally get to be the tallest and oldest since he's always the youngest at school. Today he said he was worried might not be challenged enough but then said it might help him stand out (very tall). Therefore I just wanted to come here to hear everyone's perspective about if they have a kid in this category and your thoughts.

Also, next year my son will be in 9th and will try out for high school soccer. In addition, our highest level here is ECNL - no MLS next nearby - closest is 6 hour drive.

This is good.

Also most parents are relaying that they plan to have their Aug birthday kid play on a correct grade in school team.

Which is expected.

2010s born after 8/1 are most likely to be Sophmores 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 ≈ 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

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

That's too limiting for those misaligned.

Inclusive soccer, everyone can play

In the 2026–2027 school year, children born after August 1, 2010, will generally be entering 10th grade (Sophomore year) or 11th grade (Junior year), depending on their specific birth month and your local district's cutoff date.

2010s born after 8/1 are most likely to be Juniors and lower next fall not Seniors.

Still 100% correct.

This is for next fall when SY starts.

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

4v4 = U5 = ≤ 8/1/2020-7/31 ≈ Kindergarten " "

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

All players even misaligned are accommodated.

You just want to convince parents to play Aug birthdays on grade down teams. Which is why you're going through all the effort to post mathematically wrong info.
