All youth competitions beginning Aug. 1, 2016 will be based on age group cut-offs of January 1 for each age group. Due to additional interpretative changes by U.S. Soccer since this announcement in how competition age groups are labeled, US Club Soccer and other sanctioning bodies are now clarifying the age group structures for the 017 season.
Beginning Aug. 1, 2016, all youth soccer sanctioning organizations will form competitions based on birth-year age groups.
Beginning Aug. 1, 2016, US Club Soccer will be using the following birth-year "labels" for competition, based upon the season in which competition ends.
For any birth year, the age group "label" will be determined by subtracting the year in which the players participating in the competition were born from the year in which competition ends.
Recreational Age Groups are in two year increments:
U6 = U5 & U6
U8 = U7 & U8
U10 = U9 & U10
U12 = U11 & U12
U14 = U13 & U14
U16 = U15 & U16
U19 = U17, U18, & U19
