The soccer community classifies age by “Under” a specific year, for example, “U – 8.” The soccer “year”
starts August 1st and includes all dates of birth through the following July 31st . For example, as shown in
the table below, a child born between the dates of 8/1/00 and 7/31/01 is considered a U – 9 player for the Fall 2009/Spring 2010 soccer year.
Age Tables for Fall 2009
Dates of Birth Soccer Age
8/1/03 - 7/31/04 U - 6
8/1/02 - 7/31/03 U - 7
8/1/01 - 7/31/02 U - 8
8/1/00 - 7/31/01 U – 9
8/1/99 - 7/31/00 U - 10
Parents should identify the U – “X” soccer age of their child as many of our descriptions, schedules and communications will use this classification system.
