Effective August 2016 teams at all age groups will be formed using a new cut-off date of January 1.
- The current age group cut--off of August 1 (players born on or after August 1 are eligible) was designed to keep teams on a SCHOOL YEAR basis so that teams were generally created of players within the same academic grade. For this reason, it was referred to as ‘SCHOOL YEAR’ based registration.
- The new age group cut--off of January 1 (players born on or after January 1 are age eligible) is consistent with the dates used internationally in forming youth soccer teams. This cut--off is referred to as ‘CALENDAR BIRTH YEAR’ registration.
