AYSO Age Determination (Fall 2026 Season)
AYSO uses a school-year registration system to place players in the correct division. Divisions are assigned by birth year using the window August 1 – July 31. A player remains in the same division for the entire membership year (Aug 1–Jul 31).
Age Group Chart: Fall 2026
| Division | Birthdate Range |
|---|---|
| 6U | Aug 1, 2020 – Jul 31, 2021 |
| 8U | Aug 1, 2018 – Jul 31, 2020 |
| 10U | Aug 1, 2016 – Jul 31, 2018 |
| 12U | Aug 1, 2014 – Jul 31, 2016 |
| 14U | Aug 1, 2012 – Jul 31, 2014 |
| 16U | Aug 1, 2010 – Jul 31, 2012 |
| 18U | Aug 1, 2008 – Jul 31, 2010 |
How It Works
- Find the player’s date of birth.
- Match it to the birthdate range in the chart.
- That division applies for the full membership year (Aug 1–Jul 31).
This system keeps players grouped by age in line with school calendars and U.S. Soccer standards.
