What Division am I in?

What Division Am I In?

How do you determine a player's age? AYSO utilizes a so-called “birth year” registration. Under birth year registration, division is determined solely based on a player’s date of birth, so for example, all players born in 2010 will be in the same age group, regardless of whether they were born in January, 2010 or December, 2010, and also regardless of whether they’re in the same grade at school. The birth year registration system complies with the new guidelines of U.S. Soccer, the governing body of soccer in the U.S.

What if my child’s birth year now places him/her with children who are mostly in a higher grade? Can we move him/her down? As a rule, AYSO does not allow move-downs to a division below a player’s age group. We may, on a case by case basis, consider move-down requests based on grade, but only for players age 9 or younger. All such requests must be made no later than July 31 in order to be considered. Please CLICK HERE to submit your request.
