AC Marin Camps & Clinics are designed with all our players in mind — from ages 4 to 17.

AGE GROUP ALIGNMENT & PLAY UP POLICY (2026–2027)
We would like to share an important update regarding youth soccer age group registration.
AC Marin Soccer Club is committed to providing a player-centered, development-driven environment while competing at the highest appropriate levels locally, regionally, and nationally.
Beginning with the 2026–27 season, U.S. Soccer–affiliated organizations will return to a seasonal-year age group model (August 1 – July 31).
While AC Marin fully aligns with this national framework, player development does not follow a rigid formula. Therefore, AC Marin will apply a hybrid, case-by-case approach that integrates age-group alignment with our Play Up Policy to best serve each individual player. Further details here:
