What does this mean?
Registration for 2019 for a player that is presently 11 and turns 12 at any time in 2020 will be in the 12U division. If a player is presently 12, but turns 13 during the fall of 2019 or in 2020, s/he will be in 14U. We understand that your child may be in a division you did not expect this season. They will be playing with children born within the same year or within a 2 year time frame similar to how divisions have been structured in the past. This change is happening Nationwide through AYSO and all U.S. Soccer youth soccer and Club programs.
