AGE MATRIX
Last update: September 2021
Whenever possible divisions are assigned based on single year age groups. Age groups are based on the birth year matrix for 2021-2022 youth outdoor league (matrix expires after Spring Session 2022):
To qualify for any age group the player’s birth date must fall between the ranges listed below. Sports City allows players up to 3 years younger than the age group to play in a division.
Exceptions:
U6 players must be at least born in 2017, no younger.
Other division players may be up to 2 birth years younger than the age group they are registering for.
If players are found to be too old or too young for any given age group they will be dropped from the roster and will not be allowed to play. It is the coach’s responsibility to ensure that all players are eligible to play for the age group.
