AYSO has transitioned from registering players based on the school year to registering them based on their birth year. This change was made to bring alignment with other youth soccer organizations and the U.S. Soccer Player Development Initiatives.

The effective date of age determination for registration is the player's age as of December 31.  The assigned division is applicable for all seasons in the membership year.  For example, the divisions listed below apply to Fall 2025

Children who will turn four years old anytime between January 1 and December 31 are eligible to participate in AYSO Playground Soccer.

To assist in determining the appropriate age group and division for players, a chart is provided, and guidelines and rules from U.S. Soccer are followed.

For more detailed information on the rules, regulations, and requirements pertaining to each division, please refer to the documentation provided below.
