Age GRoup Changes

Effective with the 2026-27 soccer season, US Club Soccer, in addition to other youth soccer organizations, have decided to switch to a school-year based age group system. This change affects the method by which Lakeville SC form teams, as today, a “birth year” method is utilized.  Beginning Fall of 2026, all Lakeville SC teams will be formed based on the newly required age group date ranges listed below.


US Club Soccer and other youth soccer organizations have cited several reasons for the change.  Click here to read on the main reasons for the change as cited by US Club and other youth soccer organizations.

Requests to Play Up/DOWN


We understand that some families may ask whether players can “play up” or "play down" in order to remain with their current teammates.


As a club, players will be placed in the age groups listed above in accordance with league requirements and our overall player development philosophy.


"Playing down" an age group is not at all possible due to birth year requirements placed by United States Soccer Federataion.  The only exceptions possible are "playing up" an age group.  Any exceptions to this placement will be extremely limited and made solely at the discretion of club staff, and only when we determine it is in the best interest of the player’s long-term development.


To ensure consistency and fairness across the club:

  • Placement decisions will be made by staff only
  • Exceptions will be rare
  • Written requests from families to play up will not be accepted


These guidelines allow us to make thoughtful, development-focused decisions while maintaining a clear and equitable process for all players.
