Youth Soccer Age Group Changes
Beginning Fall 2026
Beginning with the 2026–2027 season, U.S. Soccer and its affiliated leagues, including Spokane Rapids, will implement a nationwide adjustment to how youth players are grouped:
Player age groups will transition from the current "Calendar Year" model (January 1 – December 31) to a "School Year" model (August 1 – July 31).
While this change is intended to improve the long-term player and family experience, it may also cause adjustments and disruptions to some existing teams and roster structures during the transition period.
