Updated Age Group Classifications

This update applies to all organizations participating in MLS NEXT Academy Division, U.S. Youth Soccer (USYS), National Academy League (NAL), Girls Academy (GA) and all affiliated competitions that CSA North is a member of. Please note that MLS Homegrown will remain in its birth year.
