US Club Soccer has adopted the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) calendar year age group mandate effective 8/1/2016.
All youth soccer players will be grouped by birth year. At the discretion of the Cougar Soccer Club, players may play up (play in an older age group), but they cannot play down beginning with U9 due to US Club / NCSA league rules.
The 2022-2023 Season age division breakdowns will be as follows:
