How are age groups determined?

Accepted Answer

Age groups are determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of CDSFA – Rules of Association.

For junior players (6-17 years of age) - you can register for the age you turn the year you register.

As an example, if your child is or turns 15 years of age in 2023, he/she can only play in the age groups of 15 to 17 years of age. Your child would not be able to play for Under 18’s as this is more than 2 years over nor play for Under 14 age groups because he/she is turning 15 years of age in 2023.

Also, all teams in each age group, Under 8 to Under 17 may be graded. This is required in order for the Club to determine the appropriate level to recommend placement of teams in the CDSFA Competition.

In summary:
Under 6’s and 7’s are not graded.
Under 8’s and above are graded and placed into teams
All Age, O35's and O45's are not graded
