US Soccer Age Group Changes
After extensive feedback from across the country, U.S. Soccer has announced that beginning with the 2026–2027 season, youth soccer will return to school-year age groups (August 1–July 31). This change will realign club soccer with school grade levels and is expected to reduce confusion and align with the school calendar so players in the same grade will play in the same age group. This adjustment will be implemented across all Tosa Kickers teams, just as it will across all clubs across the country.
