Which Division Are You?

UYSA assigns players to age groups by birth year, with cutoffs running August 1 → July 31. Use this calculator before tryouts to make sure your player shows up to the right session.

✓ Birth year, not chronological age — a player turning 12 in October still tries out as a U12 if they were born after Aug 1.
✓ Divisions U6 – U18 for the 2026–27 season, plus HSP (High School Provisional).
✓ Match your result to the schedule below for the right date, time, and check-in location.
