2026-2027 Tryouts & Age Group Changes
2026-2027 Age Group Information
Bulls Rush FC and U.S. Youth Soccer will be adapting the Age Group Formation for the 2026-2027 season and beyond.
Why the Change?
- Helps reduce the number of “trapped players” (those separated from classmates due to the calendar-year cutoff).
- Better aligns youth soccer teams with the school-year cycle.
- Belief that reverting to the pre-2017, Aug. 1–July 31 age group format will best support player development and improve overall balance and participation across youth soccer.
- Three of the major soccer governing bodies, including US Club, US Youth Soccer, and the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), are all following the adjusted age group cutoff dates.
