Per US Soccer regulations, age groups are determined by birth year alone. Although it may seem like a stretch for the younger aged kids in each category, they will be in the company of other children relative to their age. This new standard is intended to help create clarity, improve understanding about developmental progress, and enhance playing environments as a part of the U.S. Soccer Player Development Initiatives (PDI’s).
