One of the most confusing things about soccer is the age grouping. Soccer teams are designated by age, for example Under 12 Girls (U12G). The cut-off date to determine what age group a player can participate is July 31st. If a player is born before the cut-off date, they can participate on that team for the entire soccer year (Fall and Spring - not the calendar year). Download the 2012-13 Soccer Age Chart (PDF). The easy to read chart will help you determine the age level of your child along with what program(s) they are eligible participate in. Please note that at the U9 level your child is eligible to participate in one of three programs, Tiger Academy II, Recreational, or Travel. The program chosen will depend on your child's skill level and the desired level of competition.
