Your player will be assigned to a division based on their "league age." Your player's "league age" will be their age on December 31, 2023.  Therefore, if your player is 8 years old during the registration period, but turns 9 before the end of the year, their league age will be 9.  The registration tool will calculate league age for you and offer you the available divisions for the player based on their date of birth. 

If you would like to register your player for a division other than the one corresponding to their age, please email [email protected] after creating an account and player profile.

Players are assigned to divisions based on their "league age".  The registration tool will calculate league age for you and offer you the available divisions for the player based on his or her date of birth.  For the 2023 season, your child's "league age" will be their age on August 31, 2023. Therefore, if your player is 8 years old during the registration period, but turns 9 in July, their league age will be 9.  If you would like to register your player for a division other than the one assigned to them based on their league age please email us after you have created an account and player profile.
