AGE DETERMINATION for Divisions

In what division will my player play?
AYSO has a birth year registration system in order to align with other American youth soccer program providers' interpretation of the U.S. Soccer Player Development Initiatives.

The effective date of age determination for registration shall be the player's age as of December 31 looking ahead of the Membership Year. Example: For MY21 the division the player will be placed in will be determined based on their age as of December 31, 2022. This age determination does not apply to the Playground division.

To help in determining the proper age and division for players, the following chart is provided and guidelines and rules are as follows.

Our coaches are flexible. They will contact you regarding working out a practice night that works for all the players on the team.

No. We will not honor any requests for a specific coach. Coaches cannot request specific players.

Can I request that my player play with a specific player?
We will not honor player requests. If you coach with another parent then your players will be placed on the same team with both of the parents as the coaches.

My player's other parent registered my child, how do I log into their account?
The Primary Account User can send you an invite to be an Additional User on the account with which your child was registered. To invite an Additional User to your account, click on the gear icon in your account to "Edit Account Info", scroll to bottom of Primary Parent/Guardian Info page and click on the green "Add Secondary Account Holder" button.

How do I know what team my player is on?
Your player's coach will contact you once they receive the team roster. This will be during August.

How do I know my player's game schedule?
Schedules are finalized prior to the start of the season. Coach will communicate schedules to you.

How many coaches are assigned per team?
At least one coach is assigned per team, preferably two. It all depends on the number of volunteers who have registered. If your player’s team has only one coach, please consider volunteering to be the assistant coach. Everyone needs a back-up.
