Fall 2024 / Spring 2025 Age Brackets. In accordance with US Youth Soccer rules, our registration age brackets are defined by calendar birth year (not school grade). With that said, there is flexibility in the PreK-2nd Grade Recreational Program, where we do allow kids to play with their school grade, regardless of birth year. Depending on your child's birth year, you may see multiple registration options available, as some of the younger age brackets "overlap" to provide that flexibility. In general, we encourage PreK-2 players to play with their school grade, but some advanced players may be better suited in the "older" group. This is especially the case for 2nd graders born in 2016, who will have the option to play either 2nd grade Rec soccer, or to play in the Travel soccer program with 2015-2016 aged children (primarily 3rd-4th graders) in the U10 age group. Along those lines, 3rd graders should sign up for U10 Travel soccer, even though they may also see "2nd grade Rec soccer" available as an available option (if they were born in 2016).

Here are the registration options you will see, based on your child's birth year (only sign up for one).
