Paso Robles AYSO Region 741 uses a birth year registration to align with AYSO National and other American youth soccer program providers' interpretation of the U.S. Soccer Player Development Initiatives.

The effective date of age determination for registration shall be the player's age as of December 31 of the current calendar year, looking ahead of the Membership Year (MY).  Example: Membership Year 2023 (MY2023) runs Aug 1, 2023 - Jul 31, 2024. The division the child will be placed in will be determined based on their age on December 31, 2023. If your player is 13 on December 31, 2023 they will be in the 14U division.

In some divisions, we combine age groups in order to create more teams and have a larger pool of play. These divisions will be named based on the even years. For example, if your player is in 11U based on the chart below, they might play on a 12U team. This means they will have teammates who are a year older and will play against other teams made up of 10 and 11 year olds in the Fall.

Participants who shall turn 4 years of age between January 1 and December 31 of the current calendar year are eligible for AYSO Playground Soccer.

To help in determining the proper age and division for players, the following chart is provided and guidelines and rules are as follows from U.S. Soccer.
