Eligibility

All new players, and players not registered in the previous Fall San Carlos program, must provide verification of birth date in order to complete their registration.

Contact your division coordinator with any questions.  Division coordinators can be found at Board Roster.

AYSO now follows birth year based registration.  This means that the effective date for age determination for registration is the player’s age as of December 31st of year with the fall season. So, for the Fall 2025 season, your child will be placed in a division based on their age on Dec 31st, 2025.

Here is a breakdown of the new age chart and the new divisions for Fall 2025:

Playground (3 year olds):  Born between 1/1/2022 – 9/8/2022.  Your player must be 3 by September 8th, 2025
5U (4 year olds):  Born 2021
6U (5 year olds):  Born 2020
7U (6 year olds):  Born in 2019
8U (7 year olds):  Born in 2018
10U (9 and 8 year olds):  Born in 2017 or 2016
12U (11 and 10 year olds):  Born in 2014 or 2015
14U (13 and 12 year olds):  Born in 2012 or 2013
16U (15 and 14 year olds):  Born in 2010 or 2011
19U (18, 17 and 16 year olds):  Born 2009, 2008 or 2007

AYSO does not allow “play downs.”  If you would like to request a “play up,” those requests must be made via email to the San Carlos Registrar.  Play ups will be evaluated on a case by case basis and must be approved by the Regional Commissioner.  Players may not skip an entire division.
