WHICH DIVISIONS ARE CO-ED?
HOW OLD DOES MY CHILD HAVE TO BE TO START PLAYING SOCCER?
Children who have not yet turned 4 years old may be eligible for the LMVSC Soccer Tots Program, which is for boys & girls who are 3 years old.
MY CHILD HAS NEVER PLAYED SOCCER BEFORE CAN MY CHILD STILL JOIN?
ARE CHILDREN PLACED ON A TEAM BASED ON THEIR AGE OR GRADE?
Players are placed on teams based on school grade for Kindergarten through 8th.
In the high school age groups, teams are formed based on the players’ birth year. These teams play in the Suburban Friendship League (an outside organization) that uses birth year to make age group divisions.
For school grade:
– Players who have been accelerated in school (ex: should be in 2nd grade, but have been moved up to 3rd grade) may play with their current school grade, OR with the school grade that is appropriate for their age.
– Players who are older (ex: have been held back in school) should play in the division appropriate for their age.
Such requests and this type of information should be noted in the SPECIAL REQUESTS box during player registration.
