AYSO Soccer calculates
a player's age for each Membership Year (MY) based upon the year the player was
born through the 25-26 season. For the 26-27 season (MY26) it will be changing to match the Membership Year of August 1 - July 31. That chart is updated below.
The AYSO Membership Year runs from August 1 through
July 31. Participants play in the same Division during the Fall Season
and the subsequent Spring Season. Participants move up for the next Fall Season.
If you would like to contact the Division Commissioner for your Division, please visit our Board of Directors page for contact info.

This age chart matches the new age chart created by USA Soccer, which AYSO National
follows.
It follows the most recent nation-wide player development
initiatives of USA Soccer.
If you would actually like to dive down a rabbit hole of why they made this chart
as it is, feel free to read this article: PATH FORWARD ON PLAYER REGISTRATION and
drill down into the links contained within.
The age chart will change for FALL 2026 Registration in line with USSF and club soccer.
