Age Group Changes 2026-27 | Taughannock Soccer Club
Important Update · Effective Fall 2026

Age Group
Realignment

US Soccer is changing how age groups are determined starting Fall 2026. Find your player's new team below.

What's Changing
From Birth Year to School Year

Starting with the 2026–27 season, age groups will no longer be based on a calendar birth year. Instead, they will follow an August 1 – July 31 cycle — similar to how school grades are assigned. Players born January–July will generally move up one age group. Players born August–December will generally stay in the same group.

Current System · Through Spring 2026

Birth Year

Age groups run January 1 – December 31. All players born in the same calendar year are grouped together.

✦ New System · Starting Fall 2026

School Year

Age groups run August 1 – July 31. Players are grouped more closely with their school classmates.
