2024-2025 AGE MATRIX

All soccer clubs in the US have switched to birth year to determine what age group a player plays in. For instance a player born in the year 2014 will play in the U10 age group for the 2023-24 season. Also note that the format “U followed by age” really means younger than that age. For example, U8 should be read as "Under 8."

Due to the sign up numbers of players, we may need to combine divisions to create enough teams to play multiple games per week.  We have combined the U7 & U8, U9 & U10, and the U11 & U12 age groups.

Birth Year / Age Group

2019= U6

2018 = U7

2017 = U8

2016 = U9

2015 = U10

2014 = U11

2013 = U12

2012 = U13

2011 = U14

2010 = U15

2009 = U16
