2026-2027 Tryout Information
Beginning with the 2026–27 season, all youth soccer programs will shift from the current birth year registration system to a school year registration system (August 1 – July 31).
What this means for your player:
- Players will now be grouped by school year rather than strictly by birth year.
- This change is designed to better align players with their classmates and school peers.
- Some players may move into a different age group compared to prior seasons, which could mean changes in teammates or team placement.
To see how this change affects your child, you can use the US Soccer Age Group Calculator here:

We recognize this will be a significant adjustment for families and players. Our club is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and will provide updated team formation plans and opportunities for families to ask questions well ahead of the 2026–27 season.
