AGE REQUIREMENTS
 

AGE GROUP BOYS AND GIRLS 7- 18. 

In recreational soccer divisions are based on Birth Date and your child must meet the restrictions to play the division.  Divisions usually run as Under 7, Under 8, Under 9, Under 10, Under 12, and Under 14 with a SPECIFIC cut off date. For example, for the Under 7 Division your child must be under 7 by August 1st of the current year to play in that division.  Some leagues will also have a senior division which will be under 18. 

The breakdown of the divisions will usually coincide with your child's school grade but birthdates takes precedence over grade level. You will find that with older children age groups are widened and a division will encompass multiple grade levels.
