Age Chart

AYSO Region 13 age divisions and birth date cutoffs for Fall 2026. Find which division your child plays in under the new August 1 cutoff rule.

What’s New for Fall 2026

The division cutoff date has moved from December 31 to August 1. This change was made by AYSO, US Youth Soccer, and US Club Soccer in 2025.

Players born between August 1–December 31 are affected. For the Fall 2026 season, players with birthdays in this range will remain in the same division they were in during Fall 2025. Approximately 40% of Region 13 players will play an additional year in their current division as a result — for example, a player born in September may spend two years in 7U, or three years in 12U.

Children with birthdays between January 1–July 31 are not affected.

Playing Up a Division

Requests to play up in the next higher division are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on total registration numbers, team formation, volunteer availability, and player ability. See AYSO national guidelines for more information.

One exception for Fall 2026: Players who were in 8U during Fall 2025 and participated in Grad Series in Winter 2026 are likely to have play-up requests approved. Contact [email protected] to submit a request.
