New for the 2026–2027 Seasonal Year
All U.S. soccer, including AYSO, is adopting a new age division structure aligned with US Soccer. Divisions will now be based on a seasonal year running August 1 – July 31, instead of the previous January–December birth year system.
This nationwide update is designed to align youth soccer with the school year, helping players participate alongside classmates and simplifying age groups across all programs.
If your child was born between August and December and played this past year, they are the most likely to see a change in their assigned division. When you register, the system will automatically place your child in the correct division.
