Beginning with the 2026–2027 season, U.S. Youth Soccer will move from calendar-year age groups to a school-year based system (August 1–July 31). This change allows players to compete alongside classmates and creates a more natural team environment.
Why the Change?
- Helps reduce the number of “trapped players” (those separated from classmates due to the calendar-year cutoff).
- Better aligns youth soccer teams with the school-year cycle.
- Belief that reverting to the pre-2017, Aug. 1–July 31 age group format will best support player development and improve overall balance and participation across youth soccer.
- Three of the major soccer governing bodies, including US Club, US Youth Soccer, and the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), are all following the adjusted age group cutoff dates.
Congrats to the 10 @athleticskc ECNL players selected to participate in the U14, U15 & U16 Talent ID Center on Oct. 1 👏🏼🇺🇸
From epic goals to goofy grins, our teams crushed it on and off the field this past weekend. We're already looking forward to the next weekend so we can do it again.
