I know that you can play up in soccer. Meaning play for a higher age bracket. So maybe Jules did that.
In soccer many leagues won't let you play up past the age range. They don't let you play down, that's for sure. if you look too old they will actually check your birth certificate. Things can get very competitive in tournaments and I've seen people inquiring about ages.
however, they only let you play up a year in any league I've been in. Like "oh, she'll be 12 in august so she can play with the 12-13 instead of the 10-11 group." Stuff like that.
Also considering Taylor's soccer superstardom and her mother's pushing I'd expect taylor to play up instead of jules, you know?
What I think is they are just closer in age than they look.
I also feel like Taylor doesn't know much about soccer. She hasn't said anything blatantly untrue about soccer, but the pictures of her getting ready for practice (on cleats) and even her talking about how she has a set back up and all that doesn't sound exactly right. The fact that I don't think she knows much about girls soccer actually makes me think this might be canon more.
however, the fact she knows people on other teams, that makes sense. If you're on a competitive team you learn about the other players pretty fast.
