“U” Stands for Under. Your child will be placed on a team based on his/her birth year. Age groupings stay the same for a soccer year (fall of one year through spring of the next–like a school year). We always use the Spring Year – which is the second year – and deduct that from the birth year to determine the proper U Age Group. So in the 2022 fall – 2023 spring season, a child born in 2012, means he/she will be on a U11 (under 11) team for both the fall and spring season. (2023-2012=11). It does not matter if he/she is born in January or in December. Placement is based on age and not by skill. Keep in mind a player can always play up a level, but usually never down. Here is the US Soccer chart for reference: Birth Year Chart. Or you can use the calculator below.
