Read before relying

Context matters.

  • The calculation identifies an age-group guide, not roster eligibility, tryout placement or permission to play up or down.
  • Tournament and postseason rules may use a different approved cycle from a local recreational league.
  • Confirm the cycle and division with the club, league or Organization Member before registration.

Questions answered

What to know before using the result.

Which cycle applies in 2026–27?

US Youth Soccer, AYSO and US Club Soccer announced an August 1–July 31 cycle beginning with 2026–27. U.S. Soccer still says the sanctioned organization or competition must confirm the applicable cycle.

Why does CalcSpan show three possible divisions?

U.S. Soccer's official guide recognizes birth-year, August–July and September–August roster formation. Showing all three makes a club or tournament mismatch visible.

Does a U-number guarantee roster eligibility?

No. It is an age-group guide. The club, league, tournament and Organization Member control registration, play-up or play-down rules and roster approval.
