Age Group Eligibility
Fall 2018 / Spring 2019
(Soccer year running from 1-Sep-2018 to 31-Aug-2019)
League and Team placement follows a Grade-Based Grouping. Please note that a player’s birth date is also considered in addition to their school grade as established by Middlesex Youth Soccer League.
Most players will not be impacted by this change. If your child has been playing with an age group that doesn't match with their grade and wants to continue playing with that age group and does not meet the criteria below please notify the WYSA registrar at registrar@westfordyouthsoccer.com See the Play-up Policy page for more information.
