How the Birth Year Calculation Works:
How the Birth Year Calculation Works:
It works the same as school grades. Children of the same birth year are kept together - unless they are considered Gifted in all 4 quadrants of the development spectrum; if so, they may be assessed for Fast Tracking.
To calculate your player's soccer age, you subtract your child's birth year from the end of the seasonal year.
For Example:
For Example:
In the 2022-2023 seasonal year, If your child was born in 2010 and the seasonal year ends in 2023, the calculation is:
2023 - 2010 = 13.
Your child's soccer age is "U13" - even if they turn 13 in Jan-April.
Why Is Birth Year in Soccer Used?:
Why Is Birth Year in Soccer Used?:
The changes aim to support player development more closely, align with Canada Soccer's Standards for Small-Sided Games, simplify the calculation for a player's age, and reduce the relative age effect (RAE is a selection bias towards players born earlier in the calendar year).

All that said, Math Class is over! Our registration system is set to offer you the programming available for the birth year of your child automatically - as long as their date of birth is set in your PowerUp Member Zone - where you register!
If you would like to move your child to another age division, please complete a Fast Tracking questionnaire. If they honestly score 90% (sorry, more Math) in all 4 development categories (i.e. Is this based on what is best for your child's development more than based on parent convenience), please contact our office by email.
