Team-Based Programs

How do I determine my player's age group?

Our registration system will automatically direct you to the correct program based upon your child's date of birth and gender.  Your child will remain in the same age group for the fall and spring seasons (the soccer year is the same as the school year).

The age group is determined by subtracting the player's birth year from 2025.  Ex. A player born in 2011 is in the 14U age group for the fall of 2024 and spring of 2025.  2025-2011 = 14U
