IMPORTANT ROSTER FORMATION CHANGES COMING-EFFECTIVE 2026-27 SEASON!

US Youth Soccer, US Club Soccer and American Youth Soccer Organization agreed to adopt the seasonal year age group formation cycle for its players beginning with the 2026-2027 Season. Adoption of seasonal year age groups will allow the opportunity for more players to play club soccer with their school classmates.

This will be a return to the pre-2016 policy of forming the soccer year age groups to align with school-year calendars. The Age Group Formation that will be implemented is the “Seasonal Year – Aug 1st – July 31st”.
