⚽ What Age Group Does My Child Play In?
Understanding Age Groups:
We use “U” (Under) age groups — for example, “6U” means players who are Under 6 years old this calendar year.
👉 It does NOT mean 6 and up — it means 5 and younger!
👉 Your child’s birth year determines their age group — not their age today.
👉 All ages below refer to the player’s age during this calendar year (2025).
