Age Group Matrix

Santa Rosa South Soccer Club follows the U.S. Soccer age group guidelines. All children are placed on competitive Teams based on their birth YEAR. We aim to have age pure teams but know this is not always possible based on availability of players and the need to play some players up for their development. We will also grant some play up requests.

All youth competitions are based on age group cut-offs of January 1 for each age group. For any birth year, the age group "label" will be determined by subtracting the year in which the players participating in the competition were born from the year in which competition ends.

Play-ups are decided on a case by case basis by the clubs technical staff including coach and director of soccer.
