Our Region offers flexibility in our younger divisions for players with Fall birthdays to play with grade level peers in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grades or up in their birth year division. Starting in the Under 10 Division, National policy requires that players play in divisions strictly by birth year rather than grade in school. We also make rare exceptions to allow players to participate in an older age division. Refer to “What is the policy for playing up?” to determine whether your child may be placed in the next division up.

*Players born in 2016 are considered to be 8-years-old the entire year by US Soccer standards, and according to those standards, should play in U10. To be more flexible with the younger players, our region allows those players to register in either 2nd Grade or U10 Divisions.
