Are you Ready for the Next Challenge?
Starting in Fall 2026, Manhasset Soccer Club will transition to an August 1 birthdate cutoff to align with US Soccer and Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) guidelines. This change syncs our age groups with the academic school year, helping players compete alongside their classmates for better social and team cohesion.
Moving the age group cutoff to August 1st is an effort to solve the "trapped player" problem, which happens when a student's soccer age doesn't match their school year. These athletes often miss out on team competition and steady training during 8th grade while their teammates head off to high school. The cycle then repeats four years later, creating a messy overlap that disrupts their development. This age cutoff shift keeps kids with their classmates and ensures nobody gets left behind.
While this shift may lead to some roster adjustments, our goal remains to minimize disruption -- a small percentage of our athletes will be impacted. We understand you might have questions about how this affects your family, and we are committed to supporting our players through this transition. Our priority is ensuring every athlete is in the right environment to grow their skills and enjoy the game.
Additionally, we understand that team history is important to our community. Because our older players have often competed together for many years, the club has decided that rosters for the current 2014 and older teams will remain the same unless a player is forced to move up an age group due to their birthday. This ensures that these established groups can continue their growth together without disruption.
Below are links with additional details from US Soccer to help clarify any questions.
We appreciate your support as we implement these updates to foster a more consistent and rewarding experience for all our young athletes.
Sincerely,
Manhasset SC Board of Directors
