Know which rules apply.

Washington Youth Soccer adopted August 1–July 31 grouping for the 2026–27 season, effective August 1, 2026. US Youth Soccer, US Club Soccer and AYSO adopted the same cycle.

This calculator applies that cycle to the selected season. Later seasons are projections using the same rule. It does not use the former January–December birth-year system.

Some programs use other rules: Washington EPD/ODP retains January–December grouping. WYS also combines U18 and U19 competition into U19 and has a limited 2026–27 U19 high-school waiver. U3–U5 and U20–U21 results extend the date-band formula; a matching local division may not be offered.

Check your club and competition’s current registration rules, combined age groups and exceptions before registering.
