## Caption

In recent weeks, we have kept our membership informed as to U.S. Soccer’s efforts regarding the debate around choosing birth year vs. school year for player registration. After U.S. Soccer collected feedback from their state associations, leagues, clubs, etc., they made an announcement last week about their plans moving forward.

What their decision means for Cal South members in the short term...
2025-2026 season: No changes to current registration and will continue with birth year. 

What their decision means for Cal South members in the short term...
2026-2027 season: US Soccer has pushed “flexibility” in allowing leagues, states and governing bodies (USYS, US Club etc.) to make their best-informed decision of birth year vs school year.

CAL SOUTH'S NEXT STEPS...

1. OUR MEMBERSHIP FEEDBACK SURVEY:
Now, the ball is on Cal South's pitch, so we want to solicit feedback from our membership to find out what is on your minds about birth year vs. school year registration.
