Beginning with the 2026–27 seasonal year, USYS and MYSA will move from the current calendar-year birth grouping (January 1–December 31) to a school-year age matrix using an August 1–July 31 cutoff. This change is intended to better align players with their school-grade peers and allow more players to participate alongside classmates and friends.

The Montana State Fall League (“MSFL”) is operated by clubs during the fall season. It is a state-wide program that offers u10U-u15 teams an opportunity to play in an organized league and get meaningful touches on the ball in a team environment. Clubs will enter team info and when/where they play on a statewide spreadsheet.
