None. They have to be born after May 31, 2009 according to the website.

Nope Bid Dawg. From the Circuit Website:
“In the 2023-2024 Circuit (“season two”) all 2028 players who competed during season one will be grandfathered into the Circuit and we will continue with three waivers/exemptions at the 2028 age group.”

So 3 per team.

And beyond that, at the December Circuit event, rostering was WIDE OPEN. Known:

1. Multiple single holdbacks on almost every team (true at all Circuit events)....though I admit, many are probably summer birthdays and "not holdbacks acc to Circuit rules"
2. 1-2 double holdbacks on most teams (true at all Circuit events)
3. An unrostered holdback from a Hoco elite team in MD, played with Red Hots 2028. Though, again, he's a summer birthday so not a "Circuit Holdback"
4. An unrostered holdback from a *2027* Maryland team (that's right, a 2026 age class), played with UNRL National.

Is the Circuit really policing any of this? Highly doubt it.

They absolutely are not policing it. And if they are grandfathering them in they are just as bad as everyone else.

Money must really talk. These dads are pushing hard!!!

Never known Lou G to turn down money.

Let's be real, no tourney organizer want to be known for "being the most compliant in age verification," they want to be known for having the biggest, oldest, and most dominant "dawgs" at their event. Who cares if the kid from Cali is 2+ years older than everyone else? Will look cool on social media, and kid will be a top recruit after attending our event. For example, the "MVP" from Trilogy Future Aces camp (2027-2030) was a 2027 double holdback from Virginia. Literally had a 16 year old out there running circles around 11 year olds at times.

USL and others can say whatever they want about age-based lax but as long as this kind of thing is normalized, it doesn't matter.....


What is wrong with you people? No kid is getting recruited at the Circuit. Any [Censored] dad telling you that is wrong! The Circuit is pay to play stop trying to make it more that what it actually is.

Let's get you to bed, Grandma. Nobody said anything about recruiting.

What is your deal with complaining about 16 year olds going against 11 year old, It will make him tougher...

Losing every rep to a kid 2 years older, 16 inches taller and 80lb heavier, with a mustache, will certainly motivate most 12 year olds to get it in gear. Where's the office for your sports psychology practice, I'll bring my kid after school today for more hot takes.

you probably don't know this, but there's this new thing out there called sarcasm, which means that people say the opposite of what they mean, in order to be funny and to highlight their real point.
