Age Chart

Registration Age Breakdown

To help in determining the proper age and division for players, the following chart is provided. Excerpts of two portions of the AYSO Rules and Regulations that pertain to this matter are:

Article III(B):

The effective date of age determination shall be the player's age as of December 31 as defined in Article V. Players who have reached the age of four years as of this date are eligible to participate in the program. Players who are nineteen years of age or older as of this date are not eligible to participate.

Article V:

The period of official membership shall be from August 1 through July 31 each year.

The following chart applies to the next official membership year and is based on the age groupings in AYSO's Rules and Regulations Article III. Any player whose birth date falls on or between these dates should be placed in the designated division.
