2026 Soccer Age Group Chart

Beginning in 2026, soccer age groups transition to a school-year model based on birthdates from August 1 to July 31.

This page shows how players will be grouped for Grand Rapids Area Soccer Club programs and explains when the new model applies by level.

Who this chart applies to

How GRASC is applying the 2026 age-group model

  • U10 and under (Future Stars / in-house):
  • The school-year model will be used for all of 2026 (winter, spring, and summer).
  • U12 and above (travel):
  • The school-year model begins Fall 2026.
  • Spring and Summer 2026 continue using the calendar-year model.


During the transition, some players may fall between the two systems. GRASC will work with families to make the best placement for each player.
