2025-2026 (MY25) AYSO Age Chart

Registration Age Breakdown

AYSO has changed from a school year registration to a birth year registration in order to align with other youth soccer 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 MY2022 the division the child will be placed in will be determined based on their age on December 31, 2023.

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

The waitlist is usually turned on after the regular registration deadline or if the maximum number (cut off number) has been reached prior to the last day of registration.

• We utilize the waitlist as a "pause button" to determine if we can make more teams or to "fill in" for dropped players.
• Moving off of the waitlist may take a few weeks and some patience, but you will be contacted via email if your player has been "activated" from the waitlist.
• Once you are activated from the waitlist, you have 48 hours to pay to get your child on the team at that point.
• No player that registers is guaranteed to play, as this is ALWAYS based on the number of VOLUNTEER coaches that are available for your child's division.
• It's possible that a player can jump off of the waitlist if a parent of a waitlisted player volunteers to be a HEAD coach for the division where coaches are still needed. Please contact us if interested. 
• Players are put back on the waitlist in a backwards chronological order to instill fairness for our process, if we run out of volunteer coaches.
