AC Salisbury
registration window changes for 2026/2027
For the 2026 / 2027 seasonal year, US Soccer has announced that member organizations may choose the cutoff date for age groups that they feel best fits their needs.
On March 5th 2025 US Youth Soccer (USYS), US Club Soccer, and American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) shared a joint announcement that they would be shifting the birth date cutoff from January 1st (birth year) to September 1st (school year). This has since been clarified to be August 1st instead.
As a USYS and Maryland State Youth Soccer Association member, AC Salisbury will be aligning with this change.
Some quick notes:
- Players are still able to “play up” however, our evaluation team holds the final call on roster placement for our club
- We will attempt to give players opportunities to tryout for their current age group, and one group higher if that is where they think they are the best fit
