Team Information for 2026-2027 Season

Lincoln City FC teams for the 2026–2027 season will be formed using the new school-year age grouping system, aligning players more closely with their grade level and classmates.
Beginning Fall 2026, youth soccer across the U.S. will move to an August 1 – July 31 age cutoff, replacing the calendar-year birth system.
This means most players will now play with others in the same grade level. Please look at the table below to see where your player stands.
