AYSO and our region divides up teams in the following divisions by age (please note the appropriate soccer ball sizes for each division, if you choose to purchase your child a ball).
Note that in 2018 AYSO moved to a system that calculates division based on age by calendar year, not school year. Your child will be assigned to a team based on his/her age as of December 31, 2022, and we strive for balanced teams in accordance with AYSO philosophy. Please understand that this may result in your child playing on a team that sounds too "old" -- a child's age in years will be younger than the U designation. Rest assured that s/he will be on a team with peers.
Note that no special requests for team assignments can be granted except for siblings.
