If a player is unable to attend tryouts, they should still register and note their absence on the registration form so a Director or Coach can reach out directly.
Beginning with the 2026/2027 season, U.S. Soccer and its affiliated organizations, including U.S. Youth Soccer, AYSO, and U.S. Club Soccer, are moving to an age-group formation cycle that runs from August 1 through July 31.
This change is intended to better align players with their school-grade peers. It does not mean teams will be formed strictly by school grade. Rather, the birth-date cutoff will now more closely match school-year groupings.
One of the main goals is to reduce the number of “trapped” players. These are players who are a grade behind most of their age group and may be separated from teammates during key transition years, such as the move into 9th grade or graduation into college.
The new formation cycle takes effect on August 1, 2026. All teams formed for the 2026/2027 seasonal year will use the new age-group cutoff dates.
Parents and guardians can use the table below to find their player’s age group for the 2026/2027 season. You may also use the U.S. Soccer age-group calculator and reference the August 1 through July 31 formation cycle.
