Here's who's moving up.

Rankings updated for 90,413 teams across all 50 states.

Same algorithm. Real game data. No opinions.

Youth soccer costs parents don't talk about:

Competitive: $3K-$5K/yr
ECNL: $8K-$15K/yr
MLS NEXT: $10K-$20K/yr

By age 14, most families have spent $20K-$80K total.

Before tryouts this spring, ask clubs for a FULL cost breakdown. Transparent clubs give it willingly.

Club reputation lags reality by 2-3 years.

The club that was dominant at U12 might have lost its best coach and is now mid-pack at U14.

Don't pick a club based on what they were. Look at what they are.

Data > sideline gossip.

The jersey doesn't develop your kid. Minutes do.

If your child sits 40% of games at an elite club, they're getting less development than starting every game one tier down.

Tryout season reality check.

TL;DR:

1. Confirm your new age group
2. Define what matters (not just "best club")
3. Evaluate with data, not reputation
4. Watch coaches and parents at tryouts
5. Switch for real reasons, not league names

2026 tryout season is here — and it's unlike any other year.

New age groups. Shuffled rosters. Bigger tryout pools.

Here's a 5-step framework for making the right club decision this spring:

🧵

One line that should guide every tryout decision:

The jersey doesn't develop your kid. Minutes do.

"My kid is repeating an age group — that's a step backward."

No. It's not.

They're playing with their school-grade peers now. They'll likely be one of the stronger, more experienced players in
the new group.

That's not a demotion. That's an advantage.

Your kid's new age group for 2026-2027:

U10 → Born Aug 1, 2016 – Jul 31, 2017
U11 → Born Aug 1, 2015 – Jul 31, 2016
U12 → Born Aug 1, 2014 – Jul 31, 2015
U13 → Born Aug 1, 2013 – Jul 31, 2014
U14 → Born Aug 1, 2012 – Jul 31, 2013
U15 → Born Aug 1, 2011 – Jul 31, 2012

Save this. You'll need it at tryouts.

Parents: is your club communicating clearly about the age group change for 2026-2027?

Or are you finding out through Twitter threads?

Serious question. Reply with your experience.
