There is no such thing as U-14. It is U-13 followed by U-15
8th grade is the year that the holdbacks begin in earnest. It is the reason 8th grade goes U-15 instead of U-14.
The age cutoff is Sept 1st, 2000. Anyone born this date or later is eligible for U-15 play. The Maryland "AA" U-15 youth clubs also called 2020 clubs will be stocked with 8th graders born in late 2000 or early 2001. The Maryland clubs with "A" designation will generally be those boys who have not yet reclassified and are equivalent to U-14 teams.
