Age Qualifications
Our registration programs will guide you to the correct age group based on your child's date of birth. Please do not alter your child's date of birth. We check birth certificates as required by NCYSA. Falsification of information is grounds for removal from the program with no refund.
Play Up/Play Down Policies
If you are seeking to play in a different age group than is offered to your child, please read the information below:
For the Fall season, no requests will be considered after July 31.
For the Spring Season, no requests will be considered after January 31.
U6: Child must be 4 by the start of the season. If you wish to play DOWN to U6, please contact us.
All other age groups:
Because our age groups span 2 years or more, we allow players to change age groups only after successful evaluation by our Director of Coaching. If you wish to have your child play in an older or younger division than their date of birth indicates, the child must attend a mandatory pre-season evaluation. Prior to evaluation, player must be registered and paid in their true age group. When registration is complete, please contact [email protected] to request an evaluation for your child. If the change is not approved, they will be assigned to a team in their true age group.
Notes:
CSA strongly recommends playing in your true age group. Play down requests are considered only for medical or developmental concerns.
Advanced 6U, 7U and 8U players should consider our Junior Academy for advanced training and a more challenging program. Click here for more information on our Junior Academy program.
