Upcoming Age Group Alignment Update
As we prepare for the upcoming season, Southern Indiana United wants to share an important update regarding age group alignment and what it means for players attending supplemental tryouts.
Beginning next season, age groups will no longer be based on the calendar year (January 1–December 31). Instead, they will follow a school-year format (August 1–July 31).
What Does This Mean?
Players will be grouped based on a school-year cutoff. For example, instead of all players born in 2014 being grouped together, teams will generally include players born between August 1, 2013, and July 31, 2014.
How This May Impact Your Player
There are two possible outcomes:
-
Natural progression: Some players will move up to the next age group as expected (for example, a 2014 player moving from U12 to U13).
-
Same age group: Other players, depending on their birth date, may remain in their current age group (for example, a 2014 player staying in U12).
Our Approach as a Club
We understand how important team chemistry, coaching relationships, and player confidence are. Because of this, playing up will continue to be an option when it supports a player's development.
All placement decisions will be made with a development-first mindset in collaboration with our coaching staff.
Some players may benefit from staying with their current team, while others may thrive in a new age group.
Please note that, due to game format requirements, there is a maximum of four players who can move between formats (for example, from 7v7 to 9v9 teams).
