Region 1422 assigns players to divisions based on their date of birth. In extraordinary circumstances, the Region may allow a player to Play Up a division. Requests for a player to Play Up to the next division will be considered on an individual basis. Play Up requests will NOT be considered after June 30th.

General Guidelines:

• Requests to Play Up must be approved in writing by the Regional Commissioner.
• Region 1422 will not automatically recognize Play Ups granted by other AYSO Regions.
• Play Up requests will only be considered if space is available in the higher division.
• A Player may not switch age divisions between the Fall and Spring Seasons.
• Play Up requests will not be granted for 5U or 6U players. (e.g. play up to 6U or 8U)
• Play Down requests will NOT be considered at any age level.

8U-14U Play Up Requests must meet the following criteria:

• Player misses the cutoff date for the next age division by no more than 2 months.

16U-19U Play Up Requests must meet the following criteria:

• Player misses the cutoff date for the next age division by no more than 2 months or 14U player will be enrolled in High School during the Fall Season.

We apologize, but AYSO National Guidelines DO NOT permit players to 'Play Down' into a younger division. Players are assigned to divisions based on their date of birth.
