The school year model better aligns with academic calendars, supports social development among peers, and improves player retention by allowing teammates to progress together through both school and soccer.
For example:
In the 2026-2027 seasonal year, if your child is born in October 2016, they fall within the school year range of August 1, 2016, to July 31, 2017. That places them in the U10 age group for the 2026-2027 season.
Please see the chart above to help you determine what your child's soccer age is for the 2026 season.
Please note: If there are not enough players in a certain age bracket, divisions may be combined or eliminated.
