South Lake Tahoe AYSO

age determination explained

AYSO uses an  age matrix with an August 1 cutoff to determine player divisions, aligning with U.S. Soccer and other major youth soccer organizations.

Under this model, a player’s division is based on their age during the  timeframe of August 1 through July 31.

For Example: A player who is 5 years old on August 1 will play in the 6U division for that Fall season.

To help determine the appropriate division for your child, please refer to the age chart below, which follows U.S. Soccer  guidelines. 

During the registration, you will see only the division based on the participant’s date of birth. For more information, please see the Age Determination Guide at ayso.org.

Age Guide Chart

 NOTE: Here in South Lake Tahoe we have Jamboree, 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U divisions. So for example, if your child falls under 13U on the chart they will be 14U, 9U will be 10U etc.
