Rostered for Soccer

Run your soccer club
from one app.

Soccer is the sport where the roster in your hand is not the roster that counts. The association issues the passes, prints the official list and checks it at the match, and the age boundary those lists are built on moved this season. What a club runs day to day sits alongside that, and has to agree with it.

What a soccer season asks you to keep track of

Two lists that have to agree, kept by two different organizations. Yours is the one that runs the week: who is on the team, who is coming on Saturday, who to tell when the field changes. The association’s is the one that decides whether a player may take the field at all, and it is printed from their registration system rather than yours. Most of the administrative pain in youth soccer is the gap between those two lists, and it shows up at the worst possible moment, which is at the field with a referee waiting.

The age boundary moved this season, and it moved for everybody

For 2026-27, US Club Soccer, US Youth Soccer and AYSO returned to age groups running 1 August to 31 July, rather than the calendar year. Three organizations moved together, which is unusual enough to be worth saying: in most sports a rule like this is set state by state. The stated reasons were fewer trapped players and age groups that line up with the school year, so children play with the friends they are at school with. The practical consequence is that a club’s groups were recalculated this season and anything on paper from last season no longer matches.

The roster that counts at the field is not the one in your app

A member pass, sometimes called a passcard, is issued by your association’s registrar, and it is shown to the referee at the match. A player named on the match card without a valid pass is ineligible, however obviously they belong to the team. The official roster is the association’s, printed from its system, and it is official only when the passes come with it. So the document you need on a Saturday comes from them, and proof of birth goes from the family to them rather than through us. We are not in that chain and we should not pretend to be.

When your season runs is a question with your state’s name on it

This page is not going to tell you when soccer is played, because there is no true version of that sentence. High school soccer runs in the fall in most states, in winter in several southern ones where an August season is a heat problem, and in spring in others. In at least one state the answer differs by gender, with boys in one season and girls in another, which is a way of sharing fields and coaches. And none of that describes the club world, which runs its own calendar alongside. Your state association publishes yours; a vendor telling you soccer season starts in August is describing somebody else’s state.

A club season and a school season are two different jobs

A great many players are in both, often in the same months, and the two run on different governing bodies, different rosters and different paperwork. The club side is where the passes and the association roster live. The school side answers to a state association with its own calendar and its own eligibility rules. A parent does not experience this as two systems, they experience it as two sets of emails about the same child, which is the part a club can actually do something about.

What a roster can say about a soccer player, and what it cannot

We record one position per athlete, from the four the sport is usually described with, so a roster here tells you how somebody is mainly used rather than everywhere they have played. It cannot tell you whether their pass is valid, because that lives with your association, and it is not the list a referee wants to see. Our own season cut-off defaults to 1 August, which is the boundary the club bodies have just returned to. Check it against the one your association publishes rather than assuming ours matches, because the date that decides a player’s age group is theirs and not ours.

Rostered does not issue member passes, does not hold passcard numbers and does not print the roster a referee checks. That chain runs from the family to the association and back, and a tool that claimed to sit inside it would be making a promise it cannot keep on a Saturday morning.

What we run is the week around it. One schedule for the club, with matches and practices attached to the teams they concern, so a family with a U12 player and a U15 sibling sees their own week rather than the club’s. Who has answered, before you get in the car. Messages that reach the right families rather than everybody. And 34 division templates arrive configured, single-year from U9 up with boys and girls, so a club building its groups after a boundary change is picking from a list rather than typing thirty-four names.
