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.

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.
Coaching Staff & Age Groups (Fall 26/27)
Final age groupings will be confirmed once registration closes and rosters are formed. The following are our planned teams for Fall 26/27:
U15 — Head Coach: Micah Carroll
Roster: Min 14 / Max 18 players
Note: Currently not accepting first-year players.
U12 — Head Coach: TBD
