AYSO will be changing from a school year registration to a birth year registration in order to align with US Soccer Player Development Initiatives. 

The effective date of age determination for registration shall be a player's age as of December 31st. For example, a player that turns 12 anytime in 2018 will be in U12 division. If a player is presently 12, but turns 13 during the fall of 2019 or in 2020, the player will be placed in U14. Also note that the format "U followed by age" really means that age and younger.
