is literally the youngest kid out there for tryouts. Born 22 hours later he is one of the oldest. It is what it is. As I mentioned above, rec soccer is by grade and development and travel is by age.
as they get older it moves to high school graduation date

Big push from the US soccer org that resulted in a change in the cutoff from 8/1 to 1/1.

It is applied to all levels of soccer (HS teams obviously excepted)
