US Youth Soccer Age Group Chart

The youth soccer age group system in the US is determined by a child’s birth year. To determine a player’s soccer age group in the US, simply subtract their birth year from the year that the soccer season ends. For example, in the 2024-2025 soccer season, a child born in 2016 would be in the U9 age group (2025 – 2016 = 9). 

To help you figure out a player’s soccer age group quickly, here is a simple Age Group Chart for age groups U3 through U19.
