<item><title>NSYSA AGM + Board Meeting, Monday March 30, 2026</title>
<pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 19:10:19 PDT</pubDate>
<description>AGM Location Update - Save the Date!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;	
The NSYSA AGM will be Monday, March 30.
&lt;br /&gt;Time 6:30PM at Sakai Intermediate School
&lt;br /&gt;9343 Sportsman Club Rd
&lt;br /&gt;Bainbridge Island, WA 98110
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After AGM, we&#039;ll convene a NSYSA Board meeting. This will be in place of an April Board meeting.
&lt;br /&gt; Apologies for the promise of a hybrid Zoom. Unfortunately, moving to the Sakia School resulted in a very restricted firewall WiFi access - and up to 1-bar of cell reception on all phones... Bottom line, no luck with launching and maintaining either Zoom or Google Meet options. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those unable to join virtually are encouraged to send their NSYSA Officer, Committee or Club reports to both NSYSA President and Secretary for inclusion in the AGM minutes.</description>

<item><title>Age Group Formation change for 26-27 Registration Cycle</title>
<pubDate>Fri, 16 Jan 2026 13:55:02 PST</pubDate>
<description>WYS Age Group Formation change to August 1 to July 31, beginning for the 26-27 registration cycle. You can find all relevant information on the WYS website at &lt;a href=&quot;https://washingtonyouthsoccer.org/resources/age-group-formation/,&quot;&gt;https://washingtonyouthsoccer.org/resources/age-group-formation/,&lt;/a&gt; including,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;2026-2027 Season Age Chart&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Link to downloadable Birth Year and Season Matrix (also attached)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
A few quick highlights,
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Led by US Soccer, the age group formation change was made based on additional critical feedback, data, and expert input to better align players with their school-grade peers and help increase participation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;
National youth soccer organizations including US Youth Soccer, US Club Soccer, and AYSO have aligned around the change to August 1 to July 31&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;
WYS State Cups &ndash; Recreational Cup, Founders Cup, Presidents Cup, and State Championships &ndash; will be based on August 1 to July 31 age group formation for 2026-2027&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
