Well US Soccer is really pushing age limits based on a Jan 1 cutoff and it is trickling into the rec leagues even.

Unfortunately, in this area of the country with a Sept 1cutoff, 1/4 of the kids in any grade will now be forced to play up with the kids in the grade ahead of them and not with their classmates.

US Soccer acknowledged this and basically said it was either Jan 1 or Sept 1 and we picked Jan1. Sorry to anyone that doesn't like it.
