HOW AGE GROUPS NOW WORK:

• Players are grouped onto teams by birth Year/Month corresponding to the school year age

calendar (see the Age Matrix Table above).

• Some players may have the option to stay in their current age group for another soccer year

-OR- move up to the next age group.

• Decisions to play on current team depend on the player’s birth Year/Month and the HEAD

Coach’s decision to stay down or move up (for example the head coach may have a

child (player) born between 8/1 -12/31 and decide to play in current age group

another soccer year)

​

SCENARIO A: Players Born Between 8/1 – 12/31, you have options:

If the Coach decides to play in same age group another soccer year -

• Your player may choose to stay with their coach/team.

• Only players born 8/1–12/31 are eligible for this choice.

• Players born 1/1–7/31 cannot stay at the same age next year if the Coach chooses to

stay in the age group.

​

If the team/coach moves to the next age group; Your child may move up with the

team or choose to stay in same age group another soccer year with a different team.

​

SCENARIO B: Players Born Between 1/1 – 7/31, you do NOT have options.

current team’s coach decides.
