All Boys Soccer rosters for the Fall 26/27 season are currently full. We’ve kept the program tight to ensure quality coaching and playing time for every athlete on the field.
If a spot opens up due to a roster change, we’ll reach out to families on the waitlist in the order received. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a spot, but it puts your player in line if availability changes.

USYS Age Group Change for 2026-27
Starting this season, US Youth Soccer is shifting age groups from calendar year (Jan–Dec) to school year (Aug–Jul) to align players with their school grade peers.
What this means for your player:
- Players born Aug 1 – Dec 31 will generally move down one age group from where they played last year.
- Players born Jan 1 – Jul 31 stay in their expected age group but may have new teammates born up to seven months earlier.
Your player’s age group will be calculated automatically based on their date of birth.
Check Your Player’s Age Group →
Note: The Ohio Soccer Association (OSA) places teams based on birth years, not grade levels. While DC CRU allows players to compete one year up, we do not permit players to play down levels.
Age Groups (Fall 26/27)
DC CRU Boys Soccer offers select teams for age groups U8 through U14.
Final age groupings are confirmed once rosters are formed. A minimum roster size is required to field a team in each age group.
If you’re unsure which age group your son falls into under the new USYS school-year alignment, use the U.S. Soccer Age Group Calculator above.

Season Fee & What’s Included (Starting at $325)
Season fees start at $325 per player.
Final pricing is subject to change based on program size and may vary between Boys and Girls programs. The exact fee will be confirmed in your June invoice once team rosters are finalized.
The season fee includes:
- Full uniforms

These components ensure that your child receives high-quality equipment, well-maintained facilities, professional officiating, and effective training resources, all culminating in a memorable season finale.
We are committed to making select-level soccer accessible to families. Our season fees are significantly lower than most select clubs in the region — often by a wide margin — without compromising the quality of coaching, equipment, or experience.
