AYSO is now using 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 (MY). Example: For MY2023 the division the child will be placed in will be determined based on their age as of December 31, 2024.
To understand why the Age Guide looks forward a full year, it’s important to note the following:
The AYSO Membership Year (MY) 2023 represents the AYSO 2023 Fall Season – and AYSO 2024 Spring Season and all other post-season programs that may take place in the first half of 2024. As such, AYSO MY2023 aligns to the US Soccer 2023/2024 Season. For this reason, the AYSO Age Guide must align to the US Soccer Age Guide and use December 31, 2024 to determine the proper age division for our players.
During the registration, you will see only the available division(s) based on the participant’s date of birth.
